Miti Marai murals
Our Murals
Our mission is to provide establishments with passionate and authentic Indigenous images. For both adults and children, as well as art lovers, to discover new and exciting pieces. This snake (Gari in Dhurga) was painted in the primary school eating area of Stage 1. The children participated by adding their handprints around the snake.
Originality and Customisation
Miti Marai never does the same artwork twice. Originality is critical. We welcome ideas, inspiration, and sharing from other artists and their previous work; however, there will never be two of a kind. Murals are created based on the environment and canvas. Inspiration is drawn from the local people's stories, traditions, and the natural world surrounding the desired mural space. This mural sits outside the Aboriginal Education Officers' Office.
Commisions
Commissions are open. The process of inspecting the potential space, creating a draft, getting a quote, and collecting materials follows an email inquiry from you! This mural depicts the five kindergarten classes in the stage 1 playground. Simple and colourful, a great way to incorporate culture and colour.

A shoreline with Australia's native crabs: Mangrove Crabs, Soldier Crabs, and Ghost Crabs. Soldier Crabs can be found in sandy estuaries and mangroves. Mangrove Crabs have adapted to living in trees, which is why they're red and brown. Ghost crabs are yellow and very hard to spot; they blend right in with the sand. Although crabs look intimidating, they are very emotional and sweet creatures. With
This mural is directly inspired by the sunsets from my old balcony. I would watch an incredible number of flying foxes fly over trees. The grey-headed flying fox is a megabat native to Australia, with a wingspan of 1 metre and weighing up to 1 kilogram. They can be found sleeping in the trees during the day and flying in big groups at night. Always set in darkness, flying foxes are brought into a
There are only 3 species of sea dragon in the world, and they all live off the coast of Australia. The Weedy Sea Dragon looks the most decorative with lots of seaweed-looking fins, the Leafy Sea Dragon has fewer seaweed-looking fins, and the Ruby Sea Dragon has none at all but is a glorious bright red colour. This artwork shows the three different species as best as possible from the few photos t
