An Adelaide family contacted me to install 3 murals in their home that is being completed renovated. This family loves colour and was a dream to work with.
Let me take you on a street art tour of Prospect and the Adelaide CBD. Discover what defines street art, how the art form has changed and evolved, the difference between graffiti and work in a gallery and how large-scale murals can delight and surprise the audience.
Bright and colourful mural for Tyndale Christian School in Adelaide. Here are some questions from the students about the process of installing this mural for their courtyard.
I’ve just completed a mural for the Nutrition Department at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Adelaide. I focused on pastel colours and organic shapes. Many of their patience would find strong, bright colours a sensory overload and it was important to create a welcoming space while patience wait for their appointments.
During my artist-in-residence at Cardijn College, the students covered their courtyard in colour. This project has been unique because, not only did I have time to brainstorm with students, run aerosol workshops, and install the mural with them, but the students also took the lead in requesting funding and permission from the school leadership.
I’m moving to Geelong, Victoria! Adelaide has been home for 10 years and it’s time to take a huge, scary leap and pack the boxes. I can’t write this without tears, because I love Adelaide, I love my community and I love what I’ve been able to build here as an artist. South Australia, you are home. I am going to miss living here, the people, lifestyle and weather are really hard to leave.
Small Victories contacted me with the idea to collaborate on their next wine release, their first ever sparkling! They told me it would have a zesty, vibrant flavour with a creamy texture. Could I create a design to match? I was up for the challenge! One year later, the wine has finally been bottled, labeled, and released! Here’s three reasons why this collaboration was so much fun to work on.
Recently I was invited by Streetlight to run an aerosol workshop for teens at Elizabeth Skatepark. If you've never heard of Streetlight, these volunteers are having an amazing impact on teens in Adelaide’s North. I was able to see first hand how kind and generous they are. They give of their time to build relationships with teenagers in the area, offering food, conversation and help when needed.
