Young Lady, Dance, 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, and my dance with paint and brush. Young Lady, Dance pays homage to the ever-expansion and surrender that is motherhood. Witnessing my daughter’s grace and natural connection to nature guides me back to myself. In her freedom, my play with paint expands.

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 and solo shows, with artwork held in private collections in Australia and abroad.
