Australian Survivor is back for 2026, and the cast wouldn’t be complete without self-taught Aussie Artist, Lottie Rae. She may be from Trangie, a small country town in NSW, but that won’t stop Lottie from going big with her country girl charm.
Keep on reading to see what else we know about Survivor’s Lottie Rae.
Who is Lottie Rae and what does she do?
Lottie is a 32-year-old artist originally from Trangie, NSW, married to a farmer and is a loving mother of two young boys. After attending a renowned boarding school in Sydney, where she actually failed art, she has become very confident and is willing to take on any situation and give it her all.
According to her Channel 10 bio, she is living the dream as a self-taught artist, painting nostalgic Aussie art, from pub scenes to rodeos and cowboys. She even sold a piece to international supermodel Gigi Hadid.
Lottie also appeared on ABC’s Portrait Artist of the Year and considered herself a wildcard, as portraiture isn’t her usual style. She went head-to-head with seasoned professionals and wowed judges with her portrait of celebrated Australian artist Ken Done.
Lottie Rae is no stranger to the spotlight
Big things have already come for this country girl, and with being a part of this season’s Survivor, bigger things are already on the horizon. Signed to 22Management (same agency as Alex Perry and Jennifer Hawkins btw), Lottie is no stranger to the spotlight, having painted murals for one of Australia’s most iconic brands, Levi’s Australia, and even having her own “Trucker Jacket” edition with them, called “Lottie and Levi’s“, which are custom-painted jackets by her.
Things are only going to get bigger and better for this small country town, self-taught artist!
What is Lottie Rae’s game plan for Survivor?
Lottie Rae says she has her feet firmly planted in two worlds and believes this will help her throughout her journey on Survivor, with an ace up her sleeve ready when she needs it. She also describes herself as down-to-earth and admits she’s secretly competitive, and that she’ll rely heavily on her social game, as fitness and endurance aren’t her strong suits.
Confident in her ability to connect with all types of people, Lottie says she can adapt to any crowd.
“I have danced dirty at the pub with the wildest of people. I have been to the city and done the hoity-toity. I will literally be able to talk to anyone. I can win the room at a gallery or at a rodeo. I can flex both worlds, and I’m going to.”
Australian Survivor airs Monday – Wednesday at 7:30pm on Channel 10 and 10Play.
