Janine McGuinness is an Australian-born, contemporary Artist who holds numerous qualifications, including a Master of Contemporary Art from the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA.) and, concurrently with her art practice, has a career in Social Psychology. Some of her career highlights in her art practice include being selected as a finalist for the 2022 William and Winifred Bowness Photography Prize, being awarded the Galloway Lawson Prize, receiving the Alliance Francaise Group Exhibition award and the Tolarno Hotel VCA annual art award, and being listed for the (international) Lumen Prize longlist.

Her photographic-based art practice usually concerns the intertwined relationship of people, place, space and time and works often serve as metaphors for emotional and psychological experiences and concern suburbia and the everyday. Most recently, works are printed on archival, Japanese paper and use gold leaf to create highly textured, images that are both painterly and dimensional.
