Miranda Hampson is a First Nations artist of Anaiwan descent who currently lives and works on Dharawal Country. 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. She is best known for her paintings that honour her First Nations connection to Country, representing her culture and the natural world.

In her 2026 painting ‘Unravelling’, Hampson creates an intriguing impression of a net-like structure that operates both as image and metaphor. For the artist, the net becomes a symbol of systems designed to sustain and contain life - structures that, under mounting pressure, begin to fray and falter. Both addressing the fragility of these systems and acknowledging the continued trust that we have in them, Hampson’s painting is layered in complexity. Using mixed media - acrylic, ink, graphite, and ochre, sourced with permission from Wiradjuri Country - ‘Unravelling’ demonstrates Hampson’s command of composition, offering a painting rich in texture, tension, and meaning.

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. For collectors of contemporary female artists, or those fascinated by First Nations artistic perspectives, Hampson’s paintings are a compelling discovery.
