The Missy Higgins Room

Missy Higgins is a five-time chart topper and nine-time ARIA Award winner, with songs like Scar and Steel defining her career as an Australian pop singer, songwriter, and actress. Alongside her music career, Higgins pursues interests in animal rights and the environment, endeavouring to make her tours carbon neutral. Higgins has also supported campaigns for refugee rights and is an ambassador for the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre.

The Missy Higgins room is a cosy escape from the city with warm Moroccan tones, colourful music inspired watercolours by the talented Mishy Rowan from the Bluse Mountains and a stunning Tetyana Khytko crouching ballerina artwork. Try out your inner acoustic goddess with the in-room guitar, while surrounded by YWCA’s Janet Kingstons homegrown cactus’ and overlooking our lush atrium. YWCA’s own Popi Zografakis and her 8 year old daughter Olive also designed and painted the in room crockery.

Mishy Rowan

 

Mishy Rowan is a Blue Mountains artist who developed her intuitive, meditative technique out of a desire to surround herself with colour after being stung by a poisonous caterpillar in India (true story). Explore more of her colourful work here.
