How an Aussie artist captured the attention of A-list celebrities

<p dir="ltr">An Australian artist who specialises in vivid contemporary pieces of art has captured the attention of celebrity A-listers, including pop singer Miley Cyrus. </p> <p dir="ltr">Nick Thomm left his native Melbourne in 2014 to move to New York in order to pursue his passion for art. </p> <p dir="ltr">Just two years later, he received a message on Instagram from Miley Cyrus, who commissioned the up and coming artist to paint a mural in her Los Angeles home. </p> <p dir="ltr">“Miley's awesome.
