Gumbaynggirr artist Aretha Brown launched onto the Japanese art scene earlier this year.

Ms Brown collaborated with the mural collective WALL SHARE in Osaka, where she completed a large-scale mural of her Gumbaynggirr mentors, Professor Gary Foley and Gary Williams.

Reflecting on her journey, Ms Brown said she has completed "almost 70 murals, which is crazy."

The Kiss My Art Collective is a group of artists formed by Ms Brown, consisting of a close-knit circle of friends.

Since its inception, the collective has created more than 65 murals and public artworks across Australia, the United States, England, India, Timor Leste, Indonesia, and Canada.

It champions young women and non-binary artists by providing work experience, job opportunities, and a safe creative space for creating large-scale murals globally.

"The whole reason I started Kiss My Art is that I would do these murals, which are so big, so I'd have my friends come and help me," Ms Brown said.

"It's also about getting young women into street art because street art is such a male-dominated industry."

The theme of her work aligned with this year's NAIDOC Week theme, "Blak, Loud and Proud".

"With this year's NAIDOC theme speaking to asserting our place as Aboriginal people in the modern world, I think doing murals in Japan was an incredible opportunity to make a bold statement about an imagined Indigenous future on a global stage," Ms Brown said.

Ms Brown, who in 2017 was voted as the first female Prime Minister in the National Indigenous Youth Parliament, expressed her excitement about working in Japan.

"I've always had a fascination for all things Japanese — be it art, music, sumo wrestling, culture, fashion, technology, and above all, its people," she said.

She credits her hustler mentality and persistence for achieving such global recognition with her work.

"I guess I'm a bit of a hustler. I reached out to some street art friends in Japan," she said.

"It turns out there's a lot of Japanese people that really like Indigenous street art."

Ms Brown has since been invited back to Tokyo to paint a large mural at one of the city's major railway stations in November.

"We've been invited back to do another one, and it's going to be even bigger," she said.
