We are so excited to share with you our next artist collaboration. Come with us as we introduce you to the beautiful face behind Mirii Art & learn directly from Caitlin, the story behind the 4 stunning artworks that our latest collaboration has been created from.
Meet The Artist Behind Mirii Art
Caitlin Trindall is a proud Gomeroi woman and the creator of Mirii Art. As a multi-disciplinary artist and businesswoman, Caitlin draws upon her own life experiences to create unique contemporary artworks that bring Aboriginal art and culture into everyday spaces and conversations.
Born and raised in the Sutherland Shire, on Dharawal Country, Caitlin has always explored her creativity. Caitlin first began painting in 2016 as a way to connect to her Grandfather in Narrabri, despite being physically apart. Inspired by her Grandfather, her business Mirii Art is dedicated to promoting Aboriginal culture and cultural practices through various art forms including hand painted art, digital art, public art projects, and creative workshops.
Caitlin’s artwork is a considered combination of both traditional and contemporary art. She uses traditional symbols to share stories and messages within the artwork, and pairs these with bright and vibrant colours to create a modern feel. In addition to this, Caitlin delivers creative workshops within the community, embedded with cultural knowledge, to ensure Aboriginal knowledge and traditions are passed on to future generations.
Caitlin has worked with many clients across Australia, and enjoys building connections with people and communities through her artistic journey.
The Story Behind The Artworks
Come with Caitlin as she shares the story behind each of the 4 artworks from the Girlfetti & Mirii Art Collaboration.
'When in Broome'
I created this artwork during my time travelling in Broome (Rubibi). My Mum came to visit and we sat by the water, planning our adventures around Rubibi.
This artwork reminds me of our time here together, walking through town, going to cultural events, and sharing new experiences together while on holidays. The beautiful flowers were in bloom, and the waters crystal clear with the most stunning contrast of the rich red sands. It is a time I will cherish forever.
'Endless Summer'
Sunny days, a cool breeze and clear waters; this artwork was created as a reflection of my time camping and travelling through NSW over summer.
The wattle and lemon myrtle bloom in the warm weather, and people go from campsite to campsite, following the flow of the rivers.
'Country Resources'
Country Resources represents the land and the resources Country shares with us, highlighting sustainability and mutual care. The artwork features elements like waterholes, bush plants, animal tracks, and meeting places to reflect our deep connection with mother nature and community. Fine dotted details symbolize the diverse people linked through Country, reminding us of our shared responsibility to protect and sustain it.
'Rosie'
‘Rosie’ is a gentle reflection of Country Resources, reimagined through soft pastel pinks and dusk hues. This palette evokes the quiet beauty of Country at dusk; a time of stillness, reflection, and connection. Just like the original, ‘Rosie’ honours the land and the resources it shares with us; symbolising sustainability, reciprocity, and community. The natural elements (waterholes, bush foods, animal tracks, and meeting places) remain, while the soft, warm tones capture the calming and nurturing feeling of Country as day turns to night.
