Minna's work  has been a feature of the Melbourne Art Fair and Melbourne Now exhibition. Minna, a graduate of the Victorian College of the Art (Bachelor of Fine Arts Honours) works primarily in painting, drawing and collage. Her works are playgrounds of vibrant colour and often contain collisions of past and present, referencing images and ephemera from pop culture of various eras.  Minna's art and aesthetic extends to her passion for fashion collecting and her blog and instagram (40,000+ followers) features many of the outfits she has curated, collected and created. She is wildly inspired by 1960s and 1970s fashion, music and movies and this is evident in her skill at putting together different pieces to create unique and individual styles that are keenly admired by her followers.
