The earth, the land, the stars, it’s where we have come from and it’s where we are going, that’s pretty inspiring for me.
Niah Mcleod is a contemporary artist of Yuin, Wandandian and Monero decent. Her paintings are purely intuitive based, of moments and feeling, a complete mediative process that leaves viewers to be hypnotised by her intricate and precise detail.
Residing in picturesque Byron Shire, we caught up with Mcleod on a spring morning in her home studio, where she was completing her original artwork in collaboration with luxury jewellery Tiffany & Co. Signature Tiffany Blue spirals and entwines under layers of detail, “For me it’s been really special as I’m able to explore a colour palate that I usually don’t get to play with.”
Here we chat with Mcleod on her creative process, personal heroes, her two children and why family goes hand in hand with the most courageous thing she’s ever done. See the full interview and shoot lensed by photographer Jess James below.
