Harmony Day 2023 😁

Had a relaxing time in the shade, creating this one for school today. I was accompanied by the warbling of a kulbardi (magpie) and a wardong (crow) that came and had a look at what I was up to.

A special thanks to the Art students who helped and assisted other fellow students leave their mark and to the staff for being accommodating.

It was nice to return to a school I attended many years ago, when I was growing up in the Walyalup area, to do this for them ❤️

Big job with as many challenges but got through it, with a lot of help. A huge thank you to my helpers ❤️

Stayed off the circle today and created on the sloped lawn behind it. Local primary students created some little clay pots (about 120 in total), that was incorporated into the design. They will help light up Walyalup Koort for the event tonight 😁

Attended the resource launch for Donatelife WA, that I did the artwork for. I was happy to see my work on the promotional material for this meaningful cause 😁

I also met a n***y one who benefited from a kidney transplant ❤️

Slowly but surely back in mural action today, with this small piece approx. 4m diameter 😊

Took it very easy completing this one for PCYC's NAIDOC event this afternoon. It starts at 3pm, if you mob are interested in coming down to enjoy the festivities.

A big thank you to my daughter, who I wouldn't have been able to do it without ❤️

Kaya you mob

I've been quiet lately due to personal and stressful reasons. Just over a month ago my back went and have since been recovering from bulging discs in my lumber region. It's been a slow process but am getting there.

This has had a massive impact on my work and practice. I've recently gone back to my role at the Cultural Centre and have recommenced working on art jobs.

During my recovery period (moreso recently), requests have been coming through. I've had to either cancel, postpone or call upon my Artist contacts to take on jobs I couldn't carry out.

A big thank you to the creative people in my life that I've called upon, to be available and take on Art projects I'm not available for.

In support of local Aboriginal Artists and their art, I've been connecting people in the community to give them the opportunity to showcase their moorditj work.

Shout out to my clients for their support and patience throughout my absence, to take a time out for myself. I really appreciate it guys, you know who you are.

There are a few things on the horizon, so hopefully you'll see me and my work out and about soon.

Kaya you mob

The feedback from the piece I created for Port to Pub 2022 has been amazing. I'm so humbled by the beautiful comments I've received for it. Thanks guys, much appreciated ❤️

I have also started to get queries asking if I'm selling prints of the artwork. The answer is yes and if you are interested please message me for details.

Thanks again peeps.
