Dr. Lisa Anderson is an Australian multimedia artist whose practice spans over four decades, focusing on the intersection of landscape, mythology, and environmental change. Her work delves into the stories embedded within landscapes—stories of climate change, migration, and the unseen forces that shape our world.

Anderson's installations often incorporate video, sculpture, and immersive environments to explore and engage with the landscape and built environments, particularly in areas affected by geopolitical shifts, weather patterns, and mass migration. Her projects and international residencies reflect a deep connection to the stewardship of the planet, drawing from histories and stories found in folklore and superstition around the world.

Throughout her career, Anderson has been recognized with numerous awards, including the NSW Women and the Arts Award and the Rupert Bunny Fellowship. She has also received support from the Australia Council for the Arts and has been involved in significant residencies, such as her 2024 Artist-In-Residence at Abbotsford Convent, which was featured in the Melbourne Fringe Festival.

Her work is represented in several collections, including ArtBank, Ipswich City Gallery, and the University of Tasmania.Anderson is also an Honorary Professor at the Federation University of Australia and a past Fellow of the Australian Museum and the University of Technology in Sydney.
