If you thought street art was a boys club, well you’re kinda right. It’s pretty heavily dominated by the dudes, but believe you me there’s some absolute badass chicks that get out there and chuck their best colours up on walls around Australia.

Ranging from commissioned murals and big wall pieces to bold, colourful written work, these artists are sharp and can fling paint like nobody’s business.

Check out these babes, cos god knows you’ve probably seen their work around the traps.

A lot of the Sydney-based gals are a part of Stayfly Sydney, a collective of creative women who are bold and brilliant and continuously challenging stereotypes in the art world.
