Garma Festival 2023

Mural for Darrandirra
Child & Family Centre 2022

I think this mural in Malak is my personal favourite. I had a month to complete it. It was in an air conditioned room which I had mostly to myself. Huge windows that looked out over a park. It was the middle of the wet season so there were huge thunderous storm clouds rolling by....I love clouds. Murals are often hot and physically hard work, so this was a real treat to work in comfort and at my own pace. Headphones on....I went into the zone.

A tricky little manoeuvre was bringing in a sign writer to print and instal the crocodile and turtle. The blue section was where kids play equipment was going. It was vinyl and not suitable for painting on. This was my solution to filling this section a bit.

Mural: "I'm a Dingo, not a Dog" 2021 Shadforth Lane, Darwin city
I accidentally became a dingo lover when I adopted a dingo cross shepherd from the 'pound'. I noticed different traits about her compared to normal dogs. It wasn't until years later that I learnt incredible facts from The Australian Dingo Sanctuary. This mural is dedicated to the much maligned dingo and all those who fight to save them from extinction. Fact: They are not 'wild dogs'. They are scientifically proven to be an independent species called canis dingo. Ban 1080 (that also kills other native wildlife) + shooting for bounty under the guise of 'wild dog'.

Howard Springs Primary Mural

The aim of this mural was to reflect the natural environment at Howard Springs in the Northern Territory.....predominantly made up of open woodland & wetlands. By highlighting the delicate flora and fauna in the area my aim was for students and visitors to gain and appreciation and respect of where we live. 

Slideshow ....mural in the Making....

As well as working on the mural I hosted a series of workshops with this class of 10 from Howard Springs Primary. Here we are on the bus at at The Wildlife Park about to go research and sketch.
