Elvis Richardson’s art practice reveals the value and mystery in an ordinary life, as well as the harsh reality of its precariousness. She relies on found images and objects, sourced from the public domain, online or on the street, to give voice to the stories often deemed less interesting.

A significant part of her practice includes a major research project The CoUNTess Report. It is both art and advocacy, collecting and analysing data on gender imbalance across the art world and was the impetus for the #knowmyname movement.

Elvis did her MFA at Columbia University NY and achieved her PhD through Deakin Uni in 2019.

Elvis is represented by Galerie Pompom in Sydney and Hugo Michell Gallery in Adelaide, and is represented in major public collections in Australia.
