Australian artist Kirrily Anderson is renowned for her mesmerising exploration of the intricacy in nature. Kirrily’s delicate works on paper and captivating murals showcase her attention to detail and passion for the wonders surrounding us. Her works encourage viewers to pause, observe overlooked details, and embrace a slower pace - a practice shaped by her upbringing up on a farm outside Narrandera, Wiradjuri Country, in NSW. 

Kirrily’s professional artistic journey began in Collingwood, Melbourne, where she immersed herself in the city’s street art culture from 2010 to 2016 and worked under the alias I & the Others. She showcased her work in solo and group exhibitions, and curated events both nationally and internationally.

Relocating to Chiltern, in Victoria’s North East in 2017, Kirrily focused on the development of her public art skills. Collaborating with local councils, schools, festivals, and businesses, she created site-specific artworks, earning recognition as one of the regions most respected muralists.

In 2021, Kirrily returned to exhibition work with a solo show titled ‘And Tomorrow the Beauty Returns’ at the Murray Art Museum Albury. The exhibition explored the impact and recovery of North East Victoria’s natural environment and communities after the devastating Black Summer fires, demonstrating her ability to create evocative and meaningful artistic experiences.

As a versatile multi-disciplinary artist, Kirrily’s artistic journey encompasses a constant exploration of new frontiers, forging connections between people, places, and memories. Through her creative practice, she strives to deeply resonate with audiences, leaving a lasting impact.
