Working largely from Lutruwita / Tasmania professionally since the 1990s, she often employs and combines a mix of found materials, images and concepts lifted from both popular culture, her autobiography and her direct environment, her work usually bears a distinctly surrealist heritage. Rees’s works are included in numerous collections, such as MONA, Clarence City Council, the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, and the Devonport Regional Gallery. She is represented by Bett Gallery and lives and works on the unceded lands of the Leenowwenne people of the Big River Nation in Lutruwita.
