Jeanette Muirhead is a recent Diploma of Visual Arts graduate from the Canberra Institute of Technology and recipient of the 2023 CAPO-CIT Award.

Jeanette has a background in biological science and has worked for many years in environmental policy and management. Her scientific illustrations have been exhibited in museums and published in international scientific journals, books and magazines.

Jeanette paints with a fascination with the natural world, the effects of colour and light, and the interpretation of form. Her work is observational - investigating, examining and exploring both the permanent and the fleeting as a means of understanding, reflecting and appreciating objects, place and experience.
