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! ) 😊

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 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
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
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
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.
