Mikala Dwyer completed her BVA at Sydney College of Art in 1983 and then moved to London where she studied at Middlesex Polytechnic. She moved back to Australia in 1986 and co-directed 1st Draft Gallery and later directed Black Gallery.

She has shown in many national and international exhibitions including the 1995 Istanbul Biennale, Bonheurs des Antipodes, Musee de Picardie, Amiens, France. Mikala was invited to present a solo survey show at Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art and a solo show at Cardiff’s Chapter Arts Center. Mikala’s work utilises and experiments with a fluid array of ideas, materials and applications. These often present themselves in large-scale installations; sometimes they become paintings.

Mikala is represented by the Darren Knight Gallery, Sydney; the Hamish Mckay Gallery, New Zealand; Anna Schwartz Gallery, Melbourne.
