Just like the rest of Lismore, Basso Studios has been devastated by unprecedented flooding.
Basso is the studio space of Antoinette O’Brien, a much loved multi disciplinary artist of the Lismore arts community. She was a long term Monster Mouse Studio artist in Marrickville before establishing her ceramic practice in Lismore. Before then she was practicing in Tasmania.
Her studio, livelihood, art making materials, sculptures and belongings have been submerged by the brutal 14.4 metre high flood.
Art making is her primary source of income. The impact of this event is catastrophic for Antoinette and her family who have been rescued and have had their home destroyed.

She is a rising talent within the Australian contemporary art scene with her work receiving accolades including the Hurford Hardwood Portrait Prize, a solo show at Lismore Regional Gallery and recent selection for the Muswellbrook Art Prize.
2022 has been set to be a huge year for her, and she has been preparing for a solo exhibition at Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery in collaboration with Charlotte Le Lievre, Guest Speaking at the Ceramic Triennale in Alice Springs, a solo show with Edwina Corlette gallery, Brisbane, QLD, a stall at Sydney Contemporary Art Fair, Carriageworks, Sydney and and a joint exhibition with Nqa Blayed at Elevator ARI in Lismore.

Her work speaks of endurance and precarity, the ability to overcome and process experience through ambitious figurative sculptures. She is a vibrant and vital artist who supports art makers and gives back to her community.
As art colleagues and friends of Antoinnette we hope to raise funds to assist her with the rebuild of her Studio space and practice.
She is an advocate for the arts and community in Lismore and beyond. Now is the time to give support, spread the word and help her start rebuilding.
