Artist CV

Lana de Jager is a Queensland-based artist who emigrated from South Africa to Australia in 1998, initially settling in Melbourne. She holds a BA Honours Degree in Advertising and Visual Communication (1994) and went on to lecture in Graphic Design History & Techniques, History of Art, and Still Life & Figure Drawing at Potchefstroom University and East London Technical College (South Africa) from 1995 to 1996.

Lana spent nearly two decades working in graphic design for studios in Birmingham and Worcester (UK), Brisbane (1998–2003), and Melbourne (2004–2016). In 2016, she transitioned to full-time artmaking, launching a fine art career that has since included over 50 gallery exhibitions, among them 13 solo shows.

In 2021, Lana initiated Superimposed, an annual printmakers’ project for Victorian artists. The innovative ‘printmakers’ game’ was funded again for 2023/2024, further cementing her commitment to fostering creativity and collaboration in the arts community (superimposed.com.au | @superimposed2023).
