Priscilla Bracks was born in northern New South Wales, Australia in 1973. She studied and practiced law in Australia, before completing a first class honours degree in photography at the Queensland College of Art in 2002. She is interested in the interplay between human nature, social-justice, law, media, and contemporary social, political and environmental issues. Priscilla has a broad practice covering a range of mediums including photography, illustration, installation and new-media art.

Since 2002 she has been creating a major project – Making the Empire Cross – a series about the relationships between images, media and the creation of truth, history and popular ideology.

Priscilla has won several awards including the Courier Mail Emerging Artist Award in 2001, and has exhibited in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Dubai, St Tropez and Lille. In 2007 a collaborative new media installation Charmed was featured in Experiementa Playground: International Biennial of Media Arts in Melbourne. The animations in this work were based on illustrations originally produced by combining 19th century and digital photographic techniques. These original drawings were first exhibited at the Queensland Centre for Photography in 2004.
