About the artist

Cecilia Tizard is an emerging artist who graduated from Flinders University with a Bachelor of Creative Arts (Visual Art) in 2021. Tizard’s practice is primarily engaged with photography, and operates at the intersection between traditional photography, found imagery, abstract sculpture and installation. The studio itself, as a concept and a working space, is a source of inspiration for Cecilia Tizard. Tizard creates ‘images of objects and objects from images’. Tizard’s graduate work received the 2022 Commonwealth Private Undergraduate Award. Recent exhibitions include Unclean, FELTspace, Adelaide, 2022.

Tizard was selected to participate in the 2022 Studio Program in partnership with the Helpmann Academy.

About the Studio Program

ACE is home to five fully-supported, rent-free CBD-based studios for South Australian artists. 

The ACE Studio Program provides professional development opportunities, including studio visits with Australian and international curators; participation in public programs; mentorship by ACE staff; and prominent profiling and promotional opportunities.  

It is the only program of its kind in the state and is an invaluable pathway for artists to gain national recognition. Working as part of a cohort of fellow  artists, the Studio Program gives residents the space to experiment with their practice and grow their professional careers.
