Dina Goebel sculptural artist

Dina Goebel — Sculptural Artist South Gippsland, Victoria

Practice

Dina Goebel is a mixed-media sculptural artist working at the intersection of beauty, consequence, and material inquiry. Her work begins with attraction — forms that draw viewers in through familiarity and detail — before revealing the tensions that shape the futures we are collectively constructing.

Working with 3D printing processes, natural elements, found objects, and fabrication waste, Goebel's practice interrogates the systems through which objects are made, consumed, preserved, and discarded. The contradiction is central: the desire to protect nature while remaining dependent on the materials and behaviours that place it at risk.

Visual art is her activism. Not loud, not didactic — but persistent, compelled, and impossible to stop.

Current Work

Fragile Futures is an ongoing sculptural exhibition series launched in 2026, exploring the paradox of preservation in the Anthropocene. The exhibition has shown at Meeniyan Gallery, with Moon Jellies shortlisted for the Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize at the South Australian Museum. Upcoming exhibitions include Yarra Sculpture Gallery, Collingwood (June 2026) and Old Auction House Gallery, Kyneton (October 2026).

Expressions of interest are being prepared for Berninneit and Latrobe Regional Gallery for 2027.

Background

Goebel has been making art since school and has never stopped. Across four decades her practice has moved through painting, furniture design, glass mosaic, sculptural narrative, figurative work, and installation — each body of work driven by material curiosity and the compulsion to make.

Alongside her studio practice she built ArTTable, a national arts education business that delivered creative experiences to over 5,000 people across Australia. Her background in business strategy, entrepreneurship, and organisational leadership informs the rigour and ambition of her current exhibition practice.

She is actively involved in the regional arts community through Wonthaggi ArtSpace and PICES, and is developing a programme of artist talks drawing on her experience as both practitioner and creative entrepreneur. She is currently pursuing a Master of Fine Art.
