A little about me and my art

I’m a Perth based artist, I’ve been working on my skills in drawing and painting for most of my life. From a young age I loved creating very detailed drawings on paper and playful, colourful paintings on large canvases.

Artist PhotoIn 2016 I made the leap from large canvas paintings to even larger mural painting, pushing my work further in to the public eye and providing me the opportunity to create pieces of art which interact with the surrounding environment. I really enjoy being able to see the immediate affect my art has on people passing by when I’m working in a public space. If I can put a smile on just one person’s face on their way to work it absolutely makes my day. Amongst the range of commercial projects I’ve completed, one of my favourite and most well known is the portrait of Frida Kahlo on Stirling Highway in North Fremantle for the Mexican homewares and jewellery shop Plata Bonita.

Something you may notice about my work is that I don’t stick to one particular theme. Instead I explore extremely varied topics, always with an underlying tone of light-heartedness and fun.

When I’m not creating, you can find me immersing myself in Western Australia’s incredible natural coast line and outback. I’ve also been lucky enough to travel extensively overseas, opting to take the road less travelled and experiencing authentic culture in remote parts of the world. I draw lots of inspiration from my adventures and the people I meet along the way.
