Nursery Wall Art

I had the pleasure of creating a wall mural for Emma and Jeremy’s baby room. The mural was inspired by Australian native leaves, created with wall paint but watered down to achieve a ‘watercolour’ effect. Emma wanted a design that was both whimsical and adventurous. It is going to be such a beautiful space for their little boy to grow up in!

In 2017 I created a delicate wall mural for Anita and Brad’s beautiful little girl. After Brad insisting wallpaper was not a good idea, Anita contacted me about creating a wall mural. Anita was dreaming of some loose florals in a watercolour style. She wanted subtle colours with touches of pink, perfect for a delicate mural that is not too overpowering. It was so fun to add some more life to this room! I’m sure that their baby girl will love growing up with such pretty scenery!

Mountain Sounds Festival

There is always such a fun and relaxed environment at Mountain Sounds Festival. It is one of the most creative music festivals in Australia and I absolutely love being part of it! I painted four hand symbols on a 2.5m high box during the most recent festival. Thanks to everyone who came to say hi, helped paint, and who posed for pics in front of my works!

YouTube Creator Summit

I absolutely loved creating two murals to be used as part of a 24m set design for the Asia-Pacific YouTube Creator Summit in Melbourne, 2017. As well as creating the murals, I also flew to Melbourne to hand-paint and customise denim jackets for each YouTuber in attendance over the week. It was so fun to meet these incredible creatives and provide such a unique piece of clothing for them as a keepsake!

Creating 1 of 2 mural pieces.

Single O

Natural-Selection-Blend-Single-O.jpg

If you haven’t tried Single O coffee, you’re probably avoiding the best coffee places in Sydney! They provide coffee beans to many lucky cafés and have a bunch of their own, so you can experience their coffee straight from the source. I’ve worked with them a few times and always love their innovation, creativity, and dedication to the artist!

After frequently visiting their café and consuming a lot of coffee, the guys at Single O realised I was an artist and happened to have a few opportunities up their sleeve. The greatest of these was dressing up some coffee bags as their 6th artist for their Random Acts of Art (RAOA) initiative! My initial RAOA design was created for coffee bags in 2016. Single O have also featured the design on cards at festivals, and for their Natural Selection Blend in 2020. We chose a lion roaring - embodying the empowering business that is Single O. I also had the pleasure of designing an ‘O-Bot’ for them! I loved creating this t-shirt design that incorporated some coffee elements like a refractometer into the robot’s face.

You can read my interview with them here.
