Taiya Bukovsky is one of Australia’s youngest, highly commissioned, large-format muralists, and has gained a reputation for transforming commercial and community spaces into vibrant murals.

Bukovsky began her artistic journey in 2015 inspired by the iconic Bondi Sea Wall, and secured her first paid commission by 2016. She then graduated from the University of Technology Sydney, with a degree in graphic design, and has gone on to work with clients such as Rydges, Telstra, Ray White, Sutherland Shire Council and St Ives Shopping Village, among others.
