About the artist.

 

Mim Cole is a Gulumoerrgin (Larrakia), Wardaman, and Karajarri visual artist from Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. She has been immersed in the world of art since her youth, learning techniques through practice and observing the art making of her mother and her extensive artistic family. Mim is a natural artist who experiments with and applies her traditional and abstract compositions to various media, including painting, printmaking, and a wide range of design work. Her sense of composition is particularly inspired by the rawness of ancient Aboriginal art.

 

Mim's creative practice, licensed under the name Mimmim, holds a strong connection to identity, family, country, nature, community, unity, and healing, which she intuitively channels into her art. She enjoys pushing the boundaries of her artistic practice by using a mix of vibrant colours with a traditional palette to express dynamic movement in each painting and design.

 

Mim created Mimmim as a viable artistic outlet for her passion for art and nurturing others while providing financial freedom and cultural pride for herself, her family, and community. She aims to use her talents to share the beauty of Aboriginal art in unique ways and create conversations that lead to healing and unifying people.

 

In addition to her artistic endeavours, Mim and her husband co-created a charity dedicated to breaking the cycle of Indigenous youth disadvantage. This journey of supporting others has helped Mim reflect on her own path, aiding in her own self-healing and finding her voice through her art. She hopes to encourage others toward a liberated spirit by exploring their own creative expression.
