Artist Statement

I am a professional mural artist with a practice grounded in meaningful community engagement, strong visual storytelling, and site-responsive

design. My work is known for its emotional impact, thoughtful use of symbolism, and bold, handcrafted style — painted entirely with

brushes, rollers, and tools that allow for expressive mark-making at scale.

Each project I undertake is developed in response to place — visually honouring local stories, landscapes, and cultural identities. My murals

often explore themes of resilience, belonging, and renewal, incorporating native flora, fauna, and landforms to reflect the character

of the region.

Collaboration is central to my process. I work closely with councils, community groups, and project stakeholders to ensure the final work is

not only visually striking but also inclusive, relevant, and embraced by the people who live with it every day.

My aim is to create large-scale public artworks that become lasting visual landmarks — accessible, uplifting, and deeply connected to

community. I bring a high level of professionalism to every project and am experienced in delivering complex public art within agreed time

frames and budgets.
