Caitlyn O'Brien Gallery Assistant

Caitlyn O’Brien (she/her) is a Dja Dja Wurrung and Yorta Yorta artist based in the outer suburbs of Naarm. Her role at Off the Kerb is Gallery Assistant where she supports the Director in the daily administration of the gallery as well as graphic design work.

Her artistic practice is multidisciplinary, with a focus on painting and drawing. There is an underlying theme of identity that persists throughout her work as she contemplates, and celebrates her existence in the world as a young, blak, and queer person. 

Caitlyn aspires to create the representation she was denied as a child. This objective goes beyond art, but within artistic spaces, she will do this through the themes and imagery in her own practice, as well as using her platform to support Indigenous, POC, and LGBTQ+ artists.
