Artist Halia Senu

Halia Senu was born in Adelaide and began her career in Melbourne, where she moved for work opportunities as a young adult. Now based in Port Macquarie, she enjoys the relaxed lifestyle and warm subtropical climate of the Mid North Coast - an environment that continues to inspire her creative expression.

After a 35-year hiatus from art while raising her family, Halia has returned to her passion with renewed energy and purpose, exploring both ceramics and painting. Her work is characterised by bold use of colour and a playful, intuitive approach that brings each piece to life. She primarily paints with acrylics on canvas, favouring vibrant palettes and organic forms that reflect both her inner world and the natural beauty of her surroundings.

Halia is an active part of the Mid North Coast arts community, regularly exhibiting her work in local galleries and events. She is also a proud member of several regional art groups, where she finds connection, encouragement, and the opportunity to continue growing her creative practice.

Halia’s journey is one of rediscovery - a testament to the enduring nature of artistic spirit and the joy of returning to creativity later in life.
