Hi there, I’m Mimi…
I’m an Australian artist based in Queensland, creating colourful paintings and handcrafted vegan candles inspired by joy, nature, and everyday magic…
…and my art is my way of celebrating the beauty and magic in life!
Growing up with childhood trauma and navigating life’s struggles, I’ve learned that while darkness exists, it doesn’t have to define us. Art has been my sanctuary – a place to heal, grow, and embrace joy. Through vibrant colours and playful, uplifting creations, I have CHOSEN to SEE and SHARE the WONDER in everyday moments.
From my peaceful Queensland studio, I pour my passion into every piece, hoping my art will bring joy and inspiration to your home, just as creating it has brought light to mine.
No matter how tough things get, we can choose not to let the darkness win.
Life is too beautiful not to celebrate it.
Curious about the full story — from France to Queensland, from canvas to fragrance?
Teaching with a Palette
Beyond the studio, I am a passionate teacher and it gives me so much joy to guide others on their creative journey.
It’s not just about mastering techniques; but about unlocking the artist within, reconnecting with our inner child, embracing self-expression – and finding peace and beauty in the process!
Join me on this journey and discover my books, workshops and collage papers.

“Even more exquisite in person — exceeded all expectations!” — Ian & Suzanne
Would highly recommend – Mimi’s artworks are more than what they appear! We recently purchased Riverside Reverie. It is even more exquisite than it appeared online! The vibrant colours, quality of texture, attention to detail, dimension, and ambience the painting exudes is exceptional. We had the painting delivered inter-state and Mimi the packaging was very secure and robust, it was delivered in perfect condition. This very special artwork has exceeded all of our expectations, and we are thrilled it is intended to remain in our family for generations.
“You’ve created a lasting memory for my family” – Nick.
The paintings you created are absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much for everything! You’ve created a lasting memory for my family which has so much meaning!
My sister Natalie absolutely loves the painting I bought her as a Christmas gift! It’s in her new baby’s room which is due end of June.
