Mayrah Dreise is an Indigenous sculptor, painter and performance artist who lives in the small town of Dirranbandi, South West Queensland. Mayrah's work covers a broad range of studio areas and challanges the viewer to consider the role of the cultural aesthetic interface experienced in the everyday world. The role of place, and the interplay of time, space and perception on arts experiences are key to her work.
