Alexandra Cornish

Alexandra Cornish

I’m an interdisciplinary artist in the coolest form. I’m a tattoo artist that has also just finished my Bachelor of Fine Arts, which means I now have experience painting in oil and acrylic and focus on the idea of merging tattoo imagery with traditional fine art mediums. I’ve also worked as a pottery and ceramic teacher and always loved drawing from a young age. Creating isn’t just work for me, it’s something I need.
Diana Tadros

Diana Tadros

Art inspired by the Greatest Artist God.

I create abstract and floral pieces fueled by a love for our beautiful world. From fluid paint pours to thick, touchable textures, my work is all about capturing the essence of nature.

If it looks like delicious frosting, it’s probably the forbidden frosting Taomi paste. (Please don't eat the art! ) 😊
Eden Hobbs

Eden Hobbs

Eden Hobbs is an artist currently working and living on Gadigal land. Her recent works explore themes of feminine confidence and patterns in relationships, questioning how and where queer identity fits into a male-centric world. She claims that there is no definition for how a woman should be, and begs her audience the take up as much space as possible, physically, spiritually, sexually, and creatively.
Ellie

I’m a painter and sculptor trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. I love painting people and nature, using art as a way to observe, reflect, and tell meaningful stories. I also enjoy teaching and helping others express themselves through art.
Kat S

Kat S

Sydney-based Artist | Watercolor, Acrylic & Markers

My art is a series of happy coincidences I pretend were intentional; I prefer to create portraits and interesting scenes because living beings are infinitely more interesting to me than the odd still life.

Most of my work is a mix of watercolor, acrylics, and "stress-coloring" with graphic markers to keep my anxiety at bay.
KNOWN

KNOWN

KNOWN is a multidimensional autistic artist, where painting/drawing, and her sensory experience (including movement and performance) are employed simultaneously to engage KNOWN’s audience.

KNOWN lives her life authentically as a lesbian, and often expresses her sexuality and sensuality in her art process. She also works as a life model in Gadigal.
Kommie

Kommie

I am an artist shaped by silence, the kind that follows a broken heart. Where words fail me, my brush begins to speak. Every stroke I paint carries fragments of emotions I could never quite explain, even if I tried.

My art was not born from perfection, but from pain. From moments that stayed unspoken, feelings that had no place to go, and memories that refused to fade. Instead of hiding them, I let them flow onto the canvas—raw, honest, and unfiltered.

What you see in my work is not just color or form; it is a translation of everything I have felt but never said. My paintings are conversations without words between my heart and the world.

I don’t paint to impress. I paint to release, to heal, and to be understood without having to explain anything at all.
Kraulite

Kraulite

My name is Rey, and I am a Filipino artist currently based in Australia. I have been passionate about art since childhood and have continued to pursue it despite the challenges I’ve faced along the way.

I identify as a gay man and aspire to become a Bara artist. My work focuses on Bara, a Japanese art style that highlights masculine, muscular male characters and often explores homoerotic themes and gay male experiences. I enjoy reinterpreting well-known and beloved characters from various forms of media through my personal style. In addition, I am a versatile artist capable of creating cartoons, caricatures, and landscapes.

I primarily work in digital media, but I am also experienced with traditional materials such as colored pencils, alcohol markers, and watercolor. Currently, I am expanding my artistic practice by experimenting with alternative mediums, including metallic leaf sheets, recyclable fabrics, and plaster.

MINA LEE

MINA LEE

Mina Lee is a Sydney-based oil painter whose work captures emotion, memory, and life’s fleeting moments In hyperrealistic style. Born in Ulsan, South Korea, she developed a deep love for art from a young age.

She was traveling the world and when she travelled in Darwin, Mina met her husband and became a mother of two. During the challenges of postnatal depression, she experienced a sudden, overwhelming compulsion to start painting—a force so strong it felt like a possession. Art literally saved her, helping her emerge from darkness, and since that moment, she has never gone a day without painting.

Today, Mina combines her passion for art with her love of human connection through live wedding painting, creating pieces that preserve some of life’s most cherished and meaningful moments.
Naomi Art Media

Naomi Art Media

Naomi’s art is a captivating mix of vibrant and monochromatic styles, featuring groovy, stylised elements created with acrylic paint markers, graphite pencil, and digital art. Her work moves between bold, colour-driven pieces and striking black and white compositions, with a focus on strong lines and visual contrast.
OWYE

OWYE

I paint bold female characters — expressive, flirtatious, alive. Each one has a name, a personality, a world. I create live in front of an audience and I love the energy of watching a character emerge in real time.
