As artists, we understand the temptation to keep adding brushstrokes, refining details and striving to create our BEST WORK YET. But sometimes less really is MORE. Some of my favourite pieces are the ones where I’ve worked quickly and freely, completing in just one session. I don’t assign monetary value to a work based on […]
Ever wondered what goes into painting a mural? I was asked about the challenges by the @city_of_joondalup for the Urban Rhythms project.
1. The Perth weather can be challenging when working outdoors, from 40°C one day to raining the next! 🔥 Sometimes the wind can whip the paint off the brush before it gets to the […]
I’ve come to appreciate the deep satisfaction that comes from the act of creation. In a world consumed by consumerism and the importance of material possessions, the process of making something with your own hands holds far greater value than simply acquiring things.

As always, closing out the year offers a quick pause and time for reflection. To think of those who are no longer with us and […]
I’m thrilled for my work Venerated to be selected as a Finalist in the @cityofgreatergeraldton Mid West Art Prize. Such a fun road trip to attend the opening on Saturday! These events provide an important opportunity for us artists to connect and chat face-to-face. It reminds me what a creative and supportive arts community we have in […]

Over two days the awesome team at @twineideas transformed the space into a vibrant hub of free activations and chill out spaces. It was great to see so many people engaging with and enjoying the event. Thanks to […]
