Ms. Molly Hunt

Molly Hunt is a multidisciplinary Balanggarra and Yolngu artist, animator, comic creator, illustrator and storyteller from the East Kimberley in Western Australia, where she lives and creates on Country. A former journalist and radio presenter, Molly brings a strong commitment to truth-telling into her creative practice, using art to explore identity, memory, healing and the enduring strength of Aboriginal people.

Working across animation, digital illustration, comics and large-scale public art, Molly creates contemporary works that preserve and celebrate First Nations stories while connecting culture with audiences across Australia and internationally. Her practice honours the voices of her community, amplifies the strength of Blak women, and inspires the next generation to embrace creativity, culture and storytelling.

Molly’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including in Sweden, and she has collaborated with leading organisations and global brands including Google, TikTok, FIFA and The Body Shop. She is the illustrator of the nationally recognised children’s book This Book Thinks Ya Deadly and the author and co-creator of Dreamwalker, the Kimberley’s first Blak female superhero comic, expanding representation for First Nations people in contemporary storytelling.

As a Red Dust Role Models Ambassador, Molly mentors young people across remote Aboriginal communities in Northern Australia, using creativity, culture and storytelling to inspire confidence, resilience and connection to identity. She has also led youth-driven mural projects that empower communities through collaborative storytelling and public art.

Grounded in Country and guided by cultural continuity, Molly’s work demonstrates that Kimberley stories belong on the world stage. Through every project, she seeks to create lasting cultural impact, ensuring First Nations voices continue to be heard, celebrated and carried forward for future generations.
