Eleanor Noir (b. 1991) is a visual artist living and working on Kaurna Land/Adelaide. Her multidisciplinary art practice investigates themes of connection with the natural world, impermanence and the boundaries between being wild and domesticated.

In 2015, she was awarded an Australia Council Art Start grant to study life drawing and structural anatomy at the Art Students League of New York, USA and to undertake self-directed studies in the museums of NYC.

She has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards including the Pro Hart Scholarship, Australia Council Art Start Grant, the Waterway Fellowship, the Tanza Lorraine Smith Fellowship and the Carbins Trust Prize. Her work has been selected as a finalist for national and international art prizes, including most recently the John Leslie Art Prize, the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize and the Calleen Art Award.

Her work has been exhibited in Australia, Spain and the USA - including at the South Australian Museum (Australia), the European Museum of Modern Art MEAM (Spain), and Sotheby’s New York (USA). Her work is held in private collections in Australia and the USA.
