Miranda Hampson is a First Nations artist of Anaiwan descent who currently lives and works on Dharawal Country. Hampson is best known for her paintings that honour her First Nations connection to Country, representing her culture and the natural world. In line with her cultural heritage, Hampson uses ochre within her works, sourced with permission from Wiradjuri Country.

Initially working in Aboriginal cultural heritage management and archaeology, Hampson pursued art after being inspired by both of her grandmothers, who were themselves artists. In her works, Hampson represents the human experience from a personal lens, offering reflections from her childhood and insights into her mental, emotional, physical, cultural and spiritual state. Growing up on the northern coast of Gumbayngirr Country (Coffs Harbour), Hampson has a deep connection with the ocean and is drawn to coastal scenes and their changing landscapes in her work. She is also continually inspired by the changing landscapes of Uralla, located in rural New South Wales.

Hampson’s paintings have regularly been featured in exhibitions across Australia. In 2025, she was awarded the Aboriginal Art Award at the Fisher’s Ghost Prize, and in the same year Hampson was a finalist at both the Mosman Art Prize and Wollongong Art Prize.
