Australian artist Kirrily Anderson is known for her distinctive visual language, evident in her intricate works on paper and site responsive murals.

In 2017, she relocated from Melbourne to Chiltern in North East Victoria, marking a decisive shift from graphic designer to full-time artist. Her practice draws from the natural systems, seasonal shifts and quiet tonal palettes of her surrounding landscapes.

Over the past decade, she has built a sustained exhibition and public art practice across Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia, presenting solo exhibitions and undertaking significant regional commissions. Residencies and site responsive research underpin her methodology, embedding her work within place and community.

Kirrily is committed to advancing the role of art within health environments. In 2023 she completed a major commission for Wagga Wagga Base Hospital, and more recently a project for Nolan House, Albury, a regional mental health facility. Her practice is now expanding toward immersive, sensory-led environments that deepen this health-focused direction.
