Placemaking Artist & Public Art
One of my main focuses as a public artist with street art and murals is to create public artwork that makes a place more visually interesting and enjoyable to experience. By using public art it can help communities connect through colours and underlying themes which resonate with the people and cultures of the area.
With public art and placemaking, the work can range from temporary or permanent work, small or large scale and use any aspect of the styles of art both in the modern-day and that of the past.
Placemaking art can also not just be on walls as a single artwork but extend beyond those boundaries into the street, objects and internals of buildings. An example is the urban mural street art that I painted that flowed through Bendigo Park.
With a passion for connecting communities through the use of art in the public & digital space. A master of imaginative art and digital content creation using traditional and current techniques.
If I can create a community space through art that makes the place more enjoyable and positive for people then my imagination and creativity has served me well.

Public Artist
As a part of my public artist practice, I have focused on understanding ‘place’ and how people interact with it. This can be done through workshopping with communities to gather input on how a space is used or would like to be seen for public use.
Art can help create an enhanced environment for the community to experience and engage with.
