kat tillman, Melbourne mural artist & custom canvas painter.
I make colourful paintings and large-scale works exploring place, memory and nostalgia, and the strange way ordinary places become part of who we are.

A little slice of paradise, bursting with colour, character and sunshine.
This playful garden landscape celebrates the beauty of the outdoors, with winding pathways, whimsical trees, lush greenery and a cheeky little duck enjoying a swim. Set beneath a glowing orange sky, the painting brings together bold colours, nostalgic charm and the simple joy of being surrounded by nature.
An original artwork by Melbourne-based artist Kat Tillman, painted in her signature vibrant, illustrative style and presented in a natural timber frame.

A little celebration of longer days, warmer afternoons and that wonderful time of year when Melbourne starts to come alive again.
Inspired by the Fitzroy Gardens Conservatory, this painting is my colourful interpretation of one of Melbourne's loveliest little pockets of paradise.
A place where tropical plants flourish, the flowers are always in bloom and you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city for a moment.
Full of playful palms, curious creatures, sunshine and a healthy dose of artistic licence.
Because everything feels a little brighter when the clocks go forward and there's an extra hour of sunshine to enjoy.

A little ode to the humble neighbourhood coffee shop, the familiar faces, the four-legged regulars and the simple pleasures of a morning routine.
Inspired by Uncle Drew's in Fitzroy North, this painting celebrates those little rituals that make a place feel like home.
Morning coffees, ham and cheese croissants, dogs of all shapes and sizes, and the familiar buzz of a neighbourhood waking up.
A colourful celebration of community, connection and the places that become part of our everyday lives.
Because sometimes the best part of the day is simply getting up, grabbing a coffee and seeing who's out and about.
MURALS
Large scale murals & public art in melbourne.
My mural practice takes the ideas I explore in the studio and blows them up, sometimes very, very big.
From public spaces and community projects to hospitality, workplaces and unexpected walls, I create site-specific work that responds to the people, stories and landscape surrounding it.
I work collaboratively from concept through to installation, creating murals that feel like they belong exactly where they land.
PRINT SHOP
A little collection of my favourite original artworks, now available as beautiful fine art prints. Made to bring a splash of colour, joy and a little bit of nostalgia to your walls.

A little love letter to salty skin, sun-drenched afternoons and the beautiful chaos of Bondi.
Inspired by my time living by the sea, this piece is a nostalgic celebration of the everyday magic found in familiar places. The colourful characters, coastal charm and little moments that make Bondi, Bondi.
A playful ode to a place that holds so many memories, and a reminder that sometimes the ordinary moments become the most special.
COMMISSIONS
Your place, painted.
The house you grew up in.
The beach you return to every summer.
The river where your family camps.
The holiday spot you still talk about.
The place that somehow became your place.
I create original commissioned paintings celebrating the places that hold our stories.
You don't need the perfect photograph or even know exactly what you want. Sometimes all I need is a blurry photo and a story about why it matters.
We'll figure out the rest together.
SIDE QUEST STORIES
What happens when you paint an entire house?
In 2026, I set myself the slightly ridiculous task of transforming an entire house into one immersive artwork.
Side Quest Stories grew into something much bigger.
Part art project, part documentary and part experiment in what creativity can do when life doesn't go to plan, the project explores the unexpected things we reach for to rebuild, reconnect and find ourselves again.
Every wall, ceiling, floor and forgotten corner became part of the story.
