Hope Perth

Hope is a non-Indigenous contemporary graffiti artist based in Boorloo (Perth).

Born in Darwin, Hope grew up in Kwinana. After studying ballet at John Curtin College of the Arts in Fremantle, Hope later graduated with a Bachelor of Science and a Diploma of Secondary Education from Notre Dame University.

During high school, graffiti became an important way to deal with rough times at home.  With the help of some inspiring and passionate art teachers and peers, Hope began to develop and expand into public mural work.

Hope’s goal is to find ways to make the community more vibrant and more accessible for our quality of life and public voice.

“I think it’s important we start listening to marginalised people in our society and give them agency to share their stories. I believe public art is a powerful way to do that.” – Hope.
