Aislinn Connolly (Australia) is an artist working on Gadigal land and a graduate of the National Art School. She has lived in Sydney’s inner-west for over two decades and this diverse and eclectic area strongly influences her research interests.

She was born in the western suburbs of Sydney into the Irish diaspora; her family emigrated from West Belfast to Sydney in the 1970s. Her Anglicised surname is Connolly; as an artist she has reclaimed the decolonised original, Ní Chonghaile.

She is the recipient of the Mark Henry Cain Memorial Travel Scholarship (2023) and the Parkers Sydney Fine Art Drawing Award (2023).
