Lulu Clifton-Evans is inspired by all genres of traditional oil painting.
This includes plein air painting through to still life and painting portraits.
Her work is currently held in collections in Paris, New Zealand, New Caledonia and Australia.
Her recent portrait of Hans Brunner (who helped exonerate Lindy Chamberlain) featured in the Fairfax Media throughout Australia late last year – including in The Age and Sydney Morning Herald.

She saved a 50-year-old life drawing group a year ago after its president died. After learning of AGRA’s closure Lulu made it her mission to save it – for Colin Johnson and all those who had gone before and the tradition of realist painting. She now teaches on the Mornington Peninsula.
