Maree O’Brien is an emerging Wiradjuri visual artist based in the Blue Mountains, NSW. Working primarily in painting and jewellery, her practice is grounded in storytelling, exploring themes of cultural identity, connection to Country, and personal memory. Maree is currently studying visual arts at TAFE NSW, where she is expanding her skills and refining her creative voice. Her work draws inspiration from her Wiradjuri heritage and the landscapes around her, using traditional and contemporary materials to express stories of belonging, resilience, and self-discovery. Maree has exhibited works at the Blue Mountains City Art Gallery in Katoomba and Braemar Gallery in Springwood, sharing intimate pieces that reflect her cultural journey and evolving artistic practice. Her paintings often feature layered symbolism and earth-toned palettes, while her handmade jewellery incorporates natural forms and textures, honouring traditional knowledge and materials. Maree is available for commissions, and welcomes opportunities to collaborate with individuals and organisations who share an interest in First Nations perspectives and meaningful creative engagement.
