Lars Stenberg grew up in a coastal region of Scotland that was part rural idyll and part coal mining and heavy industry. As a result of living with these contrasts, his work is concerned with the environments we live in: how we shape them and how they shape us. Known for his colourful landscape painting and for his inspiring workshops, he also works with digital media, audio and assemblage; is co-author of two books on environmental accessibility; and has undertaken several large-scale public art projects in the UK and Australia. He now lives in regional Victoria, Australia.
