Dr Renata Buziak is a biochrome artist, researcher, educator, and ECO Harmony Guide, passionate about physically engaging nature and organic processes in her interdisciplinary practice, and helping people reconnect with the natural world.
Renata's recent PhD (Queensland College of Art, Griffith University) focused on Australian native medicinal plants in consultations with members of the Quandamooka community on Minjerribah/North Stradbroke Island. Other research projects include healing plants of her native Poland, wildflowers of the Granite Belt, and bush tucker of BIgCI in the Blue Mountains. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions, nationally and internationally, received a number of art awards, and features in private and public collections.
For the last 15 years Renata has worked with homeowners, business owners and leaders to improve the experience of their spaces, thus people’s well-being, through art-science research by means of what she calls the ECO Harmony Blueprint.
Based in Brisbane, she has held sessional tutoring and lecturing positions since 2007 at Griffith University, Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and University of the Sunshine Coast (USC).
