Liam Nunan is a Sydney-based actor and painter. Primarily self-taught, he grew up in Brisbane, where he began drawing from a young age. In 2010, he moved to Sydney to study acting at the National Institute of Dramatic Art, and has since enjoyed a successful theatre career, performing with companies including Sydney Theatre Company, Belvoir, Griffin, Malthouse, and the Sydney Opera House.
Liam began oil painting in 2019, channelling his love of theatre, storytelling, and character into portraiture and figurative work. That same year, he won the Lester Prize for Portraiture.
Now working full-time as a painter, his practice spans portraiture, figurative, still life, and landscape painting. His work is held in private collections internationally, and has appeared in Real Living and Art Edit magazines, and will feature in Season 4 of Apple TV+’s The Morning Show.
