Mitchell English is an Australian contemporary artist known for work that captures the raw, sun-drenched essence of coastal life. With over 30 years of painting under his belt—and a lifetime of chasing waves—much of his art is a visual love letter to the coast.
While his coastal paintings radiate a utopian depiction of beach life, his practice extends beyond the shore. Using the human figure, architecture, and everyday rituals as vehicles, his work explores how place, memory, and longing intersect.
Mitch's has collaborated with CoolCabanas and his limited-edition cabana is out now. Exclusively available through the CoolCabanas website.
CoolCabanas was born in Noosa and has taken the world by storm. As a local Noosa artist, bringing Mitch's signature style to their iconic design felt like the perfect fit.

Inspired by his own life spent by the ocean, Mitchell’s work is rooted in a deep appreciation of coastal culture, filtered through the lens of art history and personal experience. His pieces are held in private and public collections both in Australia and internationally, reflecting a career that has quietly but steadily left its mark.
When he’s not painting in his Noosa studio, you’ll likely find Mitch in the lineup, surfing the points or soaking up inspiration from the waves. His studio is open by appointment—a chance to see his latest works, meet the artist, and gain a glimpse into his creative world.
Commissions are available for collectors seeking one-of-a-kind pieces that reflect Mitchell’s unique vision and storytelling style.
