Dr Greer Honeywill is an award-winning Australian writer and conceptual artist, curator, researcher and scholar based in Melbourne. She holds a PhD in Fine Art from Monash University, Melbourne (2003) for which she was awarded the Mollie Holman Doctoral Medal for academic excellence, and a PhD in Fine Art from the School of Creative Arts, University of Tasmania (2015). 

For more than three decades, Honeywill’s interdisciplinary practice has embraced writing, installation, constructed objects, architecture, text, performance, photography and video. The domestic built form, sense of place, and the inescapable patterns of everyday existence have long been the prime focus of her writing, art practice, and research. 

Honeywill has written numerous commissioned essays on art, architecture and design in books published by Macmillan Art Publishing and Common Ground, national and international art journals, and art gallery publications supporting exhibitions. While living in Tasmania, she wrote articles for Tasmanian Life, Australian Art Review and Island Magazine. In America she was commissioned by the founding director of Copia: The American Center for Wine, Food and the Arts, to write two essays. One for their biannual journal and the second for the book, Setting the American Table: Essays for the New Culture of Food and Wine. From 1984–86, while living in South Australia, she was design writer for a prominent South Australian magazine. 

For thirty years Honeywill has shown her artworks in solo and group exhibitions and competitions. and her works have been the subject of press articles, national art magazines, articles in lifestyle magazines, television and radio. 

Inspired by her first brief experience of Palm Springs in 2015, where she was overcome by the beauty and intense spirit of place, she discovered that by focusing on mid-century modern desert architecture, the diverse subject matter of both her doctorates and decades of art practice and writing came together as a cohesive whole as though, inexplicably, she had planned for this her entire life. 

Greer Honeywill is the curator of an interdisciplinary exhibition titled Lost in Palm Springs. The exhibition opens at the new HOTA (Home of the Arts) gallery, Gold Coast, Queensland, in March 2023. The book, Lost in Palm Springs, provides insights into the creative process, artist interviews and images of works.
