Biography:

Noel McKenna was born in Brisbane, Australia in 1956. He has lived in Sydney for the past 29 years (according to one source) or 35 years (according to another). McKenna works across various media including painting, watercolour, and ceramics. His art often explores the human figure within an urban environment, examining suburban culture in its many guises. He is known for his iconographic works that examine everyday life, the unobserved, the underappreciated, and the neglected. McKenna has held regular solo exhibitions since the 1980s and has been the subject of several significant museum exhibitions. His work is regularly included in group exhibitions around Australia and is held in many public, private, and corporate collections.
