Mundubbera

It was great to take the role of lead artist in the Stories of Mundubbera community mural. Returning the Wakka Wakka traditional lands for this project which saw new artwork applied to the Newsagency wall situated at the library and art gallery entrance. There were about a dozen artists and community members who contributed during design workshops and participated throughout the painting process.

Working with a number of experienced fine artists and enthusiastic locals ensured a great team effort. A real highlight for me was to work alongside Malcolm Brown Snr.  not only due his passion to paint but also the fact he was involved with the original mural back in 92 ! Furthermore the respect for Mr Brown and his work in the community was nothing short of inspiring.

The positivity amongst locals and visitors alike in the busy main street was infectious so I put all of that energy into the artwork over super productive weeks painting. Thanks for making me feel welcome again, Mundubbera’s hospitality is second to none… the cakes, snacks and coffee was very much appreciated and working alongside the Jaycettes and art gallery representatives made for a well organised project.

Stories of Mundubbera was funded by Mundubbera Jaycettes, supported by North Burnett Regional Council, North Burnett Art Gallery and Mundubbera Enterprise Association.

Emerald

Over the past couple of weeks I had a productive artist in residence with headspace, Emerald. The headspace team and Central Highlands Regional Council libraries program supported stencil art workshops in Emerald, Springsure and Blackwater which saw canvasses created by around 50 participants.

I also applied a mural in the activities room and participated in NAIDOC event in Emerald. It’s fabulous to continue the good work with Anglicares sister agency and work alongside familiar faces and some new team members. Emerald has always had great engagement with community activities and it’s a credit to the staff driving such initiatives.

Tingalpa

It was epic to recently take on a large commission in Tingalpa, Brisbane. I cut my teeth on walls in the area so it was fitting the client wanted a graffiti inspired modern design. There was also added nostalgia talking motorcycles as my first piece was my motorcross racing number and as a youngster I’d completed my motor mechanics apprenticeship literally next door

The 125 SQM mural is a backdrop for the family business office and workshop celebrating their love for art and cherished motor sports collection.

Chinchilla

No AI, projectors or doodle grids. Just like the craft beer @Charleys Creek Brewery there’s an authenticity to the sign painting. From concept to completion the best things are created by human hands and small family business.

Barcaldine

It was a pleasure to work with Barcaldine Regional Council and Barcaldine State School again. Escaping consistent precipitation on the coast, the weather was fantastic for painting in Outback Queensland. I enjoyed catching up with a bunch of great folk whilst in town and keeping productive on the brushes. The Sand Goanna was definitely a winner being the local champion Rugby League team.

Underwood

I was contacted by the owner of Contrology Pilates to apply some artwork at their new premises in Underwood. The client had a design in mind and was ready to roll so we turned the job around at short notice during the fit out before any equipment was installed.

Oxenford

Earlier this year I applied another mural at Oxenford State School. This artwork continues the theme from the adjacent oval and celebrates regrowth amongst the school grounds seeing the flora & fauna return. Thanks to school staff and the fabulous P&C for being a pleasure to work alongside.

Amby

The fabulous team at the Amby QCWA Branch wanted to give the Boringa Shire Hall a facelift. The hall is home to the Spein-a-yarn display of spinning wheels and items handmade from locally sourced animal yarn.

I channelled the enthusiasm of group members into the artwork and very much appreciate their hospitality and generosity throughout the process. Painters were busy, the gardens were tended and the area is looking great for upcoming Anzac Day services.

The project was made possible with the support of Maranoa Regional Council and local sponsors Tyrepower Mitchell, Samios Trading, Lawsons Butchery, Springhill Retreat, Mucka Pub, Western Qld Spirit, Morelands Nursery, Mt Abundance Homestead and Surat Hotel.

Oxenford

This was a fun commission I completed last year at Oxenford State School. Painting floors is the best way to remind me of my dinosaur bones however aches and pains aside it is totally satisfying to create large scale interactive art. Another good example of transforming a space with some imagination and a splash of paint.

Kingston

I was recently contacted by staff at Kingston State College and took on a small project at short notice. The school is planning an event to celebrate Harmony day and the mural will create a backdrop for the site of night markets. It’s always a pleasure to work with a new school and the positive feedback from staff and students during the painting process. We were lucky to squeeze this one in with recent weather not being favourable but i’m glad we could make it happen and share a the message Together We Belong.
