Yani Lenehan
Yani Lenehan is an artist living in Bathurst, and has a passion for colour. Her inspiration comes from anything and everything, but particularly from ordinary things she sees every day. Lately, she has been mainly focusing her practice on still life settings which are colourful and joyful.
When she paint her subjects, she likes to focus on how light affects it, showing their form through a stylised gradation of tones. Her style is bright, fresh and warm and her process is delicate and calm.
She works mainly in oils, starting from a detailed drawing that is slowly built up to a stylised contemporary finished piece.

Mischievous is a playful body of work by Bathurst-based artist Yani Lenehan, celebrating the cheeky personality of the Australian magpie. These artworks present magpies not just as native birds, but as lively characters - curious, confident and full of attitude.
Familiar figures in everyday Australian life, magpies are known for their watchful presence, distinctive calls and occasional mischief. Friendly yet bold, they engage with us as much as we observe them, bringing humour and connection to the natural world.
Working primarily in oils, Lenehan begins with a detailed drawing and carefully builds layers of colour and tone to create stylised contemporary paintings. Her work is driven by a passion for colour, an interest in light, and a calm, considered process that results in bright, warm and joyful artworks.
