25.01.2022 Will be dropping this print for anyone to find tomorrow night for the Maitland Art Drop, if you are in Maitland tomorrow then check my Instagram page at 6pm for the location. First one to find it keeps it. In the meantime check out the Maitland Art Drop, Newcastle Art Drop and Central Coast Art drop pages to see all the artists and works that will be up for grabs! Happy hunting!

25.01.2022 Sorry for the lack of posts, will begin updating this page with all the new work I’ve been creating. These were created by request, though I haven’t had the facilities to print the last few. So much more to say about them and the amazing team I worked with to produce them but I will leave that till the last few have been printed

16.01.2022 My contribution to Art on Decks- Skateistan Fundraiser. My subject is the recently deceased former frontman of Faith No More, Chuck Mosley. This board and over 30 others completed by local artists, will be up for auction at Tiny Boat at Softys at 5pm on Saturday the 2nd of December. 100% of funds raised will be donated to Skateistan, a non-profit organisation that aims to educate and empower youths through skateboarding in Afghanistan, South Africa and Cambodia.

15.01.2022 Metamorphosis... Like numerous post industrial cities, Newcastle is in a period of transition. Culture is thriving and breathing new life into the city, giving hope of a diverse economy.

08.01.2022 Hey guys, tonight I will be exhibiting my honours work at Watt Space from 5:30-6:30, all are most welcome to attend. Festival x will kick off immediately afterwards, always lots of beautiful work to see!

08.01.2022 One of 3 completed mixed media works available soon on shirts and limited edition prints. From a collaborative series with the lovely Brooke Edwards, more details coming soon!

08.01.2022 Another year of study complete, this time exploring a topic that is personal to everyone, Identity. My recent series titled, ‘Learning to Speak,’ refers to the work of Gayatri Spivak, ‘Can the Subaltern Speak?’ The series is an exploration of displacement and disconnection caused by migration, including a lack of cultural knowledge that can lead to a diasporic, or transnational sense of belonging. This break from tradition does not reduce the authenticity of their cultural identity, it simply becomes part of their own unique path and story. My intention is to not only share, but encourage others to reflect and reconsider how they perceive their own identity.

02.01.2022 'Goliath,' this represents mining companies and their power and presence in this country. Nothing is sacred or protected from their influence, including the Native Title Act.
