Finding meaning in the ordinary.

Ordinary moments often hold the most beauty.
These paintings are a soft nudge to slow down and take it in.

Hello!

I’m Heidi Lai, a Sydney-based artist capturing the beauty of everyday life through expressive oil paintings.

Through my work, I hope to remind people to slow down and appreciate the small things around us. You can see my paintings in exhibitions across Australia and London, and I’ve been fortunate to be a finalist in prestigious art prizes, including the National Emerging Art Prize and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters Annual Exhibition.
