ABOUT

A New Zealand native now living and creating in Australia, NITSUA is known for travelling the east coast and beyond — transforming blank spaces into murals that carry impact, place, story, and colour.

​

Based on Yaegl Country in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Austin has built a reputation as one of Australia's most prolific travelling muralists. His work spans over 200 locations, from inner-city schools to remote regional silos, from festival stages to council buildings.

​

With a background in textile and product design, his artistic practice draws on a rich foundation of visual storytelling. His signature style blends realism, surreal touches, stencil work, brushwork, and spray paint — creating murals that are both technically accomplished and emotionally resonant.

​

Austin specialises in school murals, educational spaces, community murals, art installations for festivals and events, live art, and large-scale public art. Each project begins with deep listening — understanding the people, the place, and the stories that matter most.

​

His work often highlights local flora, fauna, history, and respected people in the communities where he paints. From rainbow cockatoos to portraits of Elders, from underwater worlds to bush landscapes — every mural is a love letter to the place it calls home.

​

NITSUA has completed major projects including silo art, water tower murals, and numerous school murals across multiple states. His work has been featured in regional media, arts publications, and community spotlights across Australia.
