Born and raised in Perth, Western Australia, Kiama discovered her love for painting at an early age, taking her first oil painting classes at just seven years old. What began as a playful creative outlet has remained a constant thread throughout her life.

After studying Fine Arts and Graphic Design at Perth Metropolitan TAFE, Kiama continued to develop her practice. It wasn’t until relocating to Brussels, Belgium in 2022, however, that she began dedicating herself more fully to her art, inspired by the city’s energy and vibrant emerging creative scene.

Kiama’s work explores the beauty of everyday moments, drawn from café scenes, shared meals with family & friends, and colour combinations noticed in passing.

Her paintings strike a balance between the personal and the familiar. Rooted in lived experience, they reflect small, sensory details that resonate widely, snippets of daily life that feel both intimate and universally understood. Expressive colour palettes, playful compositions, and shifting perspectives bring warmth, joy, and texture to ordinary scenes.

Through her work, Kiama invites viewers to reconnect with their own memories. Her paintings serve as gentle reminders of the pleasure found in life’s simple rituals and the shared humanity around a table, encouraging a slower, more mindful way of seeing and savouring the present.
