WORKING WITH KOH LIVING - IN DOMICA'S WORDS
"I am incredibly grateful to work with Koh Living and share my artwork in such a special way. They have shown a deep respect for Aboriginal culture and have taken the time to understand my background as a Palawa Woman from Tasmania.
Their commitment to recognising artists and ensuring fair royalties from every sale is truly commendable. Communication is always clear and supportive, making the collaboration seamless and enjoyable. I couldn’t ask for a better partnership in sharing my art and culture.
Thank you, Koh Living!"

About domica Hill
Domica Hill's story is one of loss and hope, with painting being at the front of centre of her healing process. Domica moved to Victoria in 2015 where she felt more accepted as an Aboriginal woman of Palawa Ancestry and was inspired to paint following the loss of her daughter and subsequent miscarriage.
Domica credits painting as key to her journey of healing and creating hope for the future, with the birth of her son and meeting many people with whom painting their stories has helped with their grief.
