Mia Lovelock

Mia Lovelock is an interdisciplinary artist whose work merges music, visual art, and fashion, inspired by her upbringing in Arnhem Land and Papua New Guinea, and her Indigenous heritage to Yuin and the Kulin Nation. Her Alt-Country, Folk, and Pop-infused music has garnered national recognition, with features on Triple J, major community radio stations, and placements on Spotify and Apple Music curated playlists. Her single “Bring A Better Day” achieved over 370,000 Spotify streams, and she was the cover artist for Spotify’s Original Storytellers and Big Ancestor Energy playlists.

 

In 2025, Mia was selected for First Sounds Volume 12, a national compilation produced by Gadigal Information Service / Koori Radio and distributed to community radio stations across the country via AMRAP (Australian Music Radio Airplay Project).

 

Mia recently won the Aboriginal Scholarship Award at the Mil-Pra AECG Art Prize at Liverpool Powerhouse and will be presenting a body of work at their exhibition in 2026. As a visual artist, she has exhibited widely, with notable works including Deadly Doors, a permanent installation at The EORA Centre in Redfern. She has also won a category award at the Mil-Pra Art Prize at Liverpool Powerhouse in 2024, been a finalist in the Burwood Art Prize, and exhibited at Parliament House Sydney and during NAIDOC Week at The Downing Centre.

 

As an Artist in Residence for the Red Rattler’s Future Communities program, she showcased an innovative performance that fused live music, painting, and fashion. This interdisciplinary practice was most recently presented at the Sydney Fringe Festival, where her work captivated audiences with its unique blend of artforms. Her wearable art designs, crafted from recycled fabrics and hand-painted with earth pigments, have also been featured in US-based publications such as Elegant Magazine and Prolific.

 

Mia’s work celebrates sustainability, self-expression, and her Indigenous heritage. Through her work, Mia represents the strength, creativity, and cultural depth that First Nations women bring to the arts - a voice that deserves to be heard, celebrated, and seen on every stage.
