Woopi News - Young Mum exhibits her art at Ground Earth Café

Milly Mainhardt was a wait staff member and then a barista at the popular Ground Earth Café in Market Street for several years before she and her husband decided to start a family. A busy working schedule had limited the time Milly could spend on her art, but after ending work to have her baby, Leni, in 2022, she found more time and the output has been wonderful.

Milly is a proud Indigenous woman from the Gunggan mob who is passionate about the Indigenous Australian art genre. She had her first exhibition, the Mandana [Community] Exhibition, at Ground Earth Café on 26 November 2022. Since then, she has displayed her art on a feature wall in Ground Earth, attracting steady interest. Her work also contributes to the space’s personality at the Rattle Restaurant and Bar at Emerald Beach, where she figuratively shares the surrounding landscape’s story.

If you are interested in her art, contact Milly on 0413 900 520 or at @milsdesigns.
