Artist CV & Bio

Mary Zammit is an Australian artist working primarily in oil, based in Semaphore, South Australia. Her practice centres on capturing atmosphere, light, and the subtle narratives found within everyday scenes. Through expressive, layered brushwork and a refined use of colour, her paintings balance realism with emotion, encouraging viewers to pause and engage quietly with each work.

Mary has exhibited widely in group exhibitions and art prizes across Australia, including Affordable Art Fair in Sydney with Aspire Gallery, Brunswick Street Gallery, Cornerstore Gallery, Inverell Gallery, and Bowerbird Design Market. She has been a finalist in several national art prizes, including the Interior Art Prize at Weswal Gallery and Inside This Box at Cornerstore Gallery.

Her work is held in private collections throughout Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada.
