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.
There’s a deep sense of fulfilment that accompanies the act of creation. The […]
The latest creation in a long line of clothing designs. Residing in the depths of my sketch book for some time, the design finally found the light of day. Now it’s my new fave.
A few years ago I decided I simply MUST have a green windcheater and couldn’t find one anywhere in Perth. This year […]

I’m reminded of how important it is to take time out from the humdrum of everyday life and recharge. I was fortunate enough to enjoy a whirlwind holiday in Europe recently. As an artist, taking in new cities, galleries and cultures is invaluable in terms of growth and inspiration. My trek took me to Zurich, […]

The last few weeks have been spent mainly running the new artisan collective, UnchARTed on Beaufort St Mt Lawley. It’s great to finally have a permanent place to exhibit my work and share space with many other Perth creatives. I was unsuccessful in my first public mural submission (not surprisingly as there are many other […]
Monday and Tuesday I painted a roo with my original abstract design at Central Park in the city. The fun KangaART project will see the completed 20 life-size fibreglass kangaroo statues (painted by different artists) displayed in a permanent exhibition adjacent to a newly built Miami Bakehouse on the Forrest Highway. What an awesome public […]
