Australian Artist · Noosa

Mitchell
English.

An Australian contemporary artist whose work captures the raw, sun-drenched feel of coastal life.

Mitch has been painting for more than 30 years, and chasing waves for even longer. Much of his work is a love letter to the coast.

His coastal paintings are loved for their utopian take on beach life. But his practice reaches beyond the shore. Through the human figure, architecture and everyday rituals, his work explores how place, memory and longing meet.

The Practice

Shaped by the ocean.

Mitch's work is rooted in a lifelong love of coastal culture, seen through the lens of art history and his own experience.

When he's not painting in his Noosa studio, you'll likely find him in the lineup, surfing the points.
