Visual artist & muralist based in Naarm/Melbourne.

I make colourful paintings and large-scale works exploring place, memory and nostalgia, and the strange way ordinary places become part of who we are.

STUDIO WORK

Painting places as I remember them.

My paintings begin with places that stick.

Beaches, backyards, weatherboard houses, swimming holes, roadside stops and landscapes passed a hundred times without much thought, until suddenly they mean everything.

Working with bold colour, simplified forms and a little bit of exaggeration, I paint less from how a place looks and more from how it feels to remember it.

MURALS

Same stories. Much bigger walls.

My mural practice takes the ideas I explore in the studio and blows them up, sometimes very, very big.

From public spaces and community projects to hospitality, workplaces and unexpected walls, I create site-specific work that responds to the people, stories and landscape surrounding it.

I work collaboratively from concept through to installation, creating murals that feel like they belong exactly where they land.

SIDE QUEST STORIES

What happens when you paint an entire house?

In 2026, I set myself the slightly ridiculous task of transforming an entire house into one immersive artwork.

Side Quest Stories grew into something much bigger.

Part art project, part documentary and part experiment in what creativity can do when life doesn't go to plan, the project explores the unexpected things we reach for to rebuild, reconnect and find ourselves again.

Every wall, ceiling, floor and forgotten corner became part of the story.

COMMISSIONS

Your place, painted.

The house you grew up in.
The beach you return to every summer.
The river where your family camps.
The holiday spot you still talk about.
The place that somehow became your place.

I create original commissioned paintings celebrating the places that hold our stories.

You don't need the perfect photograph or even know exactly what you want. Sometimes all I need is a blurry photo and a story about why it matters.

We'll figure out the rest together.

DINGOS IN THE HEAT
A$990.00

DINGOS IN THE HEAT | Please email for shipping costs.

Acrylic on canvas | 92cm x 112cm

A few bright orange dingos moving through the bush, sniffing around, half playing, half watching. Big blue sky, scrubby greens, that dusty orange ground that feels so alive it almost hums. Overhead a cockatoo lurks.

This piece is a bit messy & heavy-handed. But it was fun to paint!

Carry On, It’s Fine Tote
from A$50.00

Carry On, It’s Fine Tote

Your everyday bag for when life is a lot… but you’re handling it.

Made from durable 12oz canvas, this tote is built to carry the chaos, the groceries, the sketchbooks, the “just in case” layers, and everything in between. Generously sized at 47 x 36 x 14cm, it’s roomy without losing its shape — soft structure, easy energy.

The “Carry On It’s Fine” attitude is printed as a colour logo on one side using silk screen printing, giving it a bold, lasting finish that holds up through daily wear (and existential spirals).

Designed with practicality in mind, it features a secure button closure, strong 3.8cm webbing handles, and an adjustable shoulder strap so you can swing it over your shoulder or crossbody depending on how hands-free you need to be.
