Ladies of Leisure

Ladies of Leisure is a dynamic creative collective founded in 2014 in Melbourne, Australia, by visual artists and designers Alexia Brinsley and Jules O’Dowd. Best known for their vibrant style that fuses contemporary illustration, bold color palettes, and hand-crafted letterforms, Ladies of Leisure have become celebrated voices in the public art landscape. Their work spans large-scale murals, playful installations, editorial illustration, and apparel design, often centering themes of empowerment, inclusivity, and the everyday joys of city life.

Champions of collaboration and inclusivity, the duo routinely initiates community-driven projects that invite participation and skill-sharing, championing the belief that art should be accessible to all. Through exhibitions, workshops, and public commissions, Ladies of Leisure continue to carve out space for authentic self-expression, brightening urban environments and sparking dialogue on the intersection of art, identity, and public engagement.
