Visaya Hoffie is a Queensland based artist who graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Art at
Queensland College of Art in 2016. Trained as a painter, her work often engages a range of
different media including sculpture, painting, printmaking, embroidery and assemblage.
Blurring the boundaries traditionally used to define and separate cultural production, her
work challenges hierarchies and the authority of ‘taste’. Visaya’s work merges high art
references to those of popular culture—her imagery grabs advertising clickbait and shoves it
together with naive drawing styles, or stitches together craftwork skills with often
unsettlingly cute imagery.

Visaya’s artistic practice seamlessly extends her collaborative small business ventures with
the more familiar roles of a visual artist. Her imagery brings together the observations made
during her extensive experiences in other cities, and her love of the incidental, the everyday,
the local, the overlooked, the rejected, the dejected. and the downright stupid.
