I'm Patrycja (PJ) Hannagan — a Polish-born, Italy-trained artist now painting large-scale murals around the world for a living.

I'm a proudly self-represented artist, founder of Mural Nomad, and the travel-obsessed girl behind Australia's nationally acclaimed 100 Murals Project — a journey that took me across the country painting walls, working with communities and building an unconventional, yet remarkable, creative career along the way.

When I'm not somewhere up a wall, I'm usually at Mural Nomad HQ, my creative warehouse in Burleigh Heads. I spent the last few years working with artists worldwide, through my online community, my year long signature mentorship program and in person events.

My mission these days is pretty simple: to make creative entrepreneurship more accessible to artists who aren't afraid of going big.

Paint Big is one of my favourite ways to do that — getting away from the screen, opening the studio doors and giving artists a real wall, real tools, real support to experiment at scale.
