Colour, multiplicity and abstraction gracefully interplay in the practice of Indian-Australian artist, Minaal Lawn. Connected to her heritage through these elements, incorporating references to object symbolism, Hindu worship culture, and cultural phenomena to produce intimate, deeply autobiographical works. As an Australian born woman of Indian descent living in Dja Dja Wurrung Country (Glenlyon) in Central Victoria, she navigates the intersections between her inherited culture and the cultural landscape which surrounds her.

Minaal has held institutional solo shows at the Art Gallery of Ballarat (2022), Castlemaine Art Museum (2021).  Commercial solo shows at Stockroom (Kyneton 2023), Craft Victoria (2020), Craft Contemporary (Castlemaine, 2020), ArtBox (Merricks, 2019) among others. 

Selected group shows include Colour Working / Working Colour (Fiona and Sidney Myer Gallery 2025) Mining Memory (La Trobe Project Space 2024, ARI Pop Gallery (2024), Craft Victoria (2023), NGV Melbourne Design Week (Verdant 2024, Flack Studio presentation Open Table 2023, Future Inheritance 2021), CLAD Gallery (Bendigo, 2020) and Daine Singer (Fitzroy, 2019) among others. 

Minaal is a Footscray Art Prize (2023), Muswellbrook Art Prize (2022) Clunes Ceramic Awards (2019), The Du Rietz Art Awards (2019), The Wyndham Art Prize (2019), Saint Cloche Gallery (Little Things Art Prize 2018) awards finalist.

In addition to her exhibition practice, she has collaborated with interior design studios, Danielle Brustman (2023), creative director Marsha Golemac (2021), commissioned by Jardan (2022), fashion brands Radical Yes (2019, 2018) Nelson Made (2018).
