About Greer
Greer began her career as a teacher of art in South Australia and moved, after two decades as an influential educator, to the corporate arena, specialising in the development of creative strategies for large-scale events.
In 1990 she relocated to Melbourne, Victoria, establishing a new base for her art practice. And in 1993 she began working on a concept for an exhibition that would bring together, painting, photography and sound as a means of exploring the contemporary status of the great Australian dream half a century after its birth. Three years in the making, Greer and her two collaborators, photographer Lynette Zeeng and sound engineer, Rodney Lowe, staged the exhibition, The Great Australian Dream, at Gallery 101, Collins Street, Melbourne in 1995. The underlying method Greer developed for the exhibition would prove significant within her practice and she would later mature this method at Monash University as she completed a doctorate. Greer graduated in 2003 with a PhD in Fine Art and in 2004 she was awarded the Mollie Holman Doctoral Medal for academic excellence.
