An artist and creator, Bayley Mifsud is a proud member of the Peek and Kirrae Whurrong people of the Maar nation from South West Victoria (Warrnambool).
Her Aboriginal name is Merindah-Gunya meaning “Beautiful Spirit” in Peek Whurrong language, which was gifted to her through a naming ceremony on Country, supported by Elders and community.
Bayley has a passion for community development, diversity and self-determination as well as continuing the gift of storytelling through her artwork.
Bayley now lives on Wurundjeri Country in Naarm (Melbourne) and has lived a large portion of her life there.
Bayley was taught Aboriginal art at a very young age, by her Elders at the Brambuk Cultural Centre in the Grampians in Victoria.
