Eleesa Howard is a multidisciplinary artist based on Bunurong Country, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. Her practice includes a range of media: collage, painting, assemblage, printmaking, sculpture and textiles. By responding to the materials, she reflects and explores themes of fragility, nostalgia, and the intricacies of everyday life.

Weaving personal stories drawn from childhood memories, mental health, motherhood, and the wider community, Eleesa’s work serves as a narrative tapestry of the human connection and resilience.

Eleesa embraces the imperfections and beauty found in everyday materials, such as recycled cardboard, threads, paper, often using what she has around her. By giving new life to often discarded items, she gives her work a sense of renewal and inclusivity, reflecting on the inherent value of each individual.

Eleesa has presented solo and group exhibitions across Victoria, including exhibitions at Kingston Arts and Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery. She has been a finalist in the NWOP Prize 2024 and the Ripper Prize 2025, and regularly contributes to public programs, workshops and community-based creative initiatives.
