ABOUT MIA LOVELOCK

Mia Lovelock is an Interdisciplinary Artist, passionate about merging different art forms. Her creative journey has been deeply influenced by her upbringing in Arnhem Land and Papua New Guinea, as well as her connection to the salt waters of Yuin and fresh waters of the Kulin Nation. Lovelock's artistry encompasses music, visual art, and fashion, and her work reflects a commitment to sustainability, self-expression, and honouring her indigenous heritage.

 

Lovelock’s music is a blend of Alt-Country, Folk and Pop, and her songs have been well received by audiences and critics alike, earning her a spot on popular playlists by both Spotify and Apple Music. She was selected as the cover artist for Spotify's Original Storytellers playlist and her music has been featured on Triple J and  major independent community radio stations across Australia, including 2SER Sydney, Triple Z Brisbane, Triple R Melbourne, RTR FM Perth and Radio Adelaide. Mia's previous single, "Bring A Better Day," resonated with fans worldwide, racking up over 350k streams on Spotify.

 

As a visual artist, Mia actively exhibits her artworks in solo and group exhibitions, and is always looking for new ways to express, explore and collaborate. In a notable collaboration titled "Deadly Doors," she worked with fellow First Nations artists to create a powerful artwork, now a permanent fixture at The EORA Centre in Redfern. Mia recently won an art award for the Mil-Pra Art Prize at Casula Powerhouse and was also a finalist in the Burwood Art Prize. Other notable exhibitions include ‘Beyond the Brush’ Parliament House Sydney and NAIDOC Week at The Downing Centre Sydney.

 

Mia was selected as an Artist in Residence for the Red Rattler Future Communities arts program, where she showcased her interdisciplinary skills by presenting her music, art, and fashion in an innovative performance featuring live painting, models, and dancers.

In addition to her music career, Lovelock also crafts one-of-a-kind garments embracing the slow fashion culture, using recycled cotton fabric that she then hand paints with her earth pigments, and transforms into ‘wearable art’. Her creative designs have been featured in esteemed USA publications, including Elegant Magazine, SALYSE, and Prolific.

​Mia Lovelock's diverse range of skills and her ability to merge different art forms make her a unique and exciting artist to watch.
