Imbolc, A Puzzle Piece, A Space Within, 2024

I love colour. I love the medium of paint. I love the shapes and forms that only nature knows how to create. I love the limitlessness of space found in this country’s landscape. I love being witness to all this, connecting to it, and then bringing it back into my studio to explore my interpretations, my questions, my dance with paint and brush. ‘Imbolc, A Puzzle Piece, And A Space Within’ pays homage to my life and trying to work it all out. Right now, it is imbolc, when winter becomes spring and is a time of real connection to the land. Living off grid means each season brings a new living. Alongside, my journey into Self, questioning where I fit in family and in culture is an ever evolving, ever deepening exploration.

Mim Fluhrer lives on the Mid North Coast of NSW, and completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts at The National Art School (Darlinghurst) in 2009.

Her works are a journey into the self and of her connection to nature. Mim’s paintings have taken on a new depth with her journey of motherhood, a new story, a new ritual and relationship between paint and brush, colour and form. Mim is inspired by the Australian bush, both the desert and her immediate environment, the land she now lives on, Dunghutti Land. Mim lives on an off-grid permaculture community where the night sky is vast, the gum trees are tall, and the season is spoken in flower song.

Mim Fluhrer has exhibited in numerous group shows, solo shows with artwork held in private collections both in Australia and abroad.
