Moments That Remain explores the quiet fragments of life that stay with us long after
they have passed. Each work begins with a personal memory, emotion, or fleeting
experience drawn from the artist’s life and transformed into an atmospheric visual
narrative.
Through landscape, weather, and symbolic elements, these paintings reflect the way
memories soften and shift over time. While the works are grounded in lived
experience, they are not fixed stories. Instead, they invite viewers to pause and
reflect, allowing their own memories and emotions to surface.
In this way, the paintings become shared spaces of reflection — moments held in
paint that continue to live on through those who encounter them.
Lizzy Stageman is a contemporary Indigenous Australian artist of Wiradjuri,
Ngiyampaa and Barkindji heritage whose work explores memory, storytelling, and
emotional connections to moments in time. Drawing from lived experiences, her
paintings reflect personal stories, thoughts, and feelings that have shaped her life
and artistic practice.
Working with atmosphere, colour, and symbolic elements, Stageman creates
paintings that exist between memory and imagination. Her work captures fleeting
moments — fragments of landscapes, weather, and quiet reflections — transforming
them into evocative visual narratives.
At the centre of Stageman’s practice is storytelling. While her paintings begin with
deeply personal experiences, they are created with the intention of inviting viewers to
pause, reflect, and connect with their own memories and emotions.
Through this process, her work becomes a shared space where personal history,
feeling, and imagination meet, allowing each moment captured in paint to continue
living through those who encounter it.
