Armadale Viaduct Artwork Completed — A Landmark Public Art Project for METRONET

A new 1.5 km public artwork has been completed for the METRONET Byford Rail Extension, co-led by Haylee Fieldes and Mel McVee. Spanning viaduct piers, retaining walls and an illuminated station soffit, the project—titled Peregrination—celebrates WA’s landscape, native wildlife and Noongar cultural knowledge.

Haylee has recently completed one of Western Australia’s largest public art commissions: a 1.5-kilometre immersive artwork for the METRONET Byford Rail Extension. Co-led with collaborator Mel McVee, the project transforms the Armadale Viaduct and new station entry into a striking visual journey through Country.

Working as co–project managers, Haylee and Mel assembled and guided a talented team including Amok Island, Seantelle Walsh and light designers, Light Application. Haylee developed a unified artistic narrative that unfolds across 60 viaduct piers, two expansive retaining walls and a 300m² illuminated soffit ceiling at the station.

Titled Peregrination: a journey, the artwork traces the natural transitions between Scarp, Bush, Wetlands and River. Each zone incorporates its own palette, patterning and references to native flora, fauna and Noongar cultural knowledge. Haylee’s signature black-and-white wildlife works appear throughout, including a five-metre western grey kangaroo and other species that anchor the piece in local ecology.

The station soffit artwork—created in collaboration with Light Application—features a flowing composition of oblong turtles gliding through a tannin-stained stream, illuminated with integrated LED lighting designed to subtly animate the space after dark.

Spanning painted Dulux Weathershield surfaces and custom aluminium panels, the project represents a monumental creative effort involving extensive design development, coordination and onsite execution. The final result is a cohesive, site-responsive installation that welcomes commuters and celebrates the landscape and stories of Armadale.

This project marks a significant milestone for both the METRONET program and for Haylee’s practice, showcasing large-scale collaboration, technical expertise and a deep commitment to beautifully crafted public art in Western Australia.

Flow and Flight - A New Coastal Mural for Mandurah

Discover Flow and Flight, Fieldey’s new coastal mural for the Mandurah Arts Festival—celebrating dolphins, seabirds, marine life and a community painting day that brought the artwork to life.

Mural titled “Flow and Flight” on a Mandurah beachside ablution block, featuring black-and-white dolphins and seabirds over a pastel coastal abstract background; photographed at golden hour with a person walking a dog in the foreground.

This little Mandurah ablution block got a whole lot of love! 💙

Created as part of the Mandurah Arts Festival, Flow and Flight celebrates the city’s vibrant coastal identity, rich estuarine ecosystem, and the community spirit that makes Mandurah such a special place to paint.

The mural brings together some of Mandurah’s most iconic natural residents: dolphins drawn from the local FinBook, seabirds in full motion, and marine species such as blue swimmer crabs, rock lobsters and whiting. These elements weave through dynamic flowing lines that echo both the movement of water and the rhythm of wings.

The design blends my signature black-and-white realism with a retro-inspired coastal palette, creating a fresh, light, holiday-at-the-coast feeling—one that reflects my own personal connection to Mandurah’s coast. The intention was to honour the deep relationship the community has with this place: the memories made here, the cycles of tide and migration, and the sense of peace this location exudes.

Retro Roots & Suburban Boots

Fieldey’s newest mural, Retro Roots & Suburban Boots, is a love letter to the working-class charm of Perth’s northern suburbs from the 1970s through to the 1990s. With Retro Roots & Suburban Boots, Fieldey offers a vibrant, layered response to place—celebrating the working-class identity and rich suburban culture of Perth’s northern suburbs from the 1970s through to the 1990s. Situated in Craigie, where the artist first settled after moving to Perth, the mural interweaves personal narrative with community-sourced memories to tell a collective story of time and belonging.

The design centres on a retro-themed drive-in movie scene, where a couple (complete with resplendent mullet and Farrah Fawcett waves) enjoy a date night with their beloved Kelpie and choc-milk in tow. It’s a loving nod to classic car culture, iconic hairstyles, and the all-terrain status of Ugg boots—details drawn directly from Fieldey's own experience of life in Craigie.

The creative process behind the mural was equally rooted in community connection. Fieldey reached out to residents via local Facebook groups, inviting them to share their memories of growing up in the area. The nostalgic and often hilarious responses inspired many of the mural’s key features: home milk deliveries, horse-shoe rolls, the Binishell dome, black cockatoos and banksias, and even the infamous creepy clown swing. These stories were lovingly woven into the composition, ensuring the final piece feels both personal and collective.

A team of three artists joined Fieldey to bring the mural to life over six days of painting. Together, they transformed the site into a flowing visual narrative that embraces the curve of the wall and is visible from both the freeway and nearby carpark. A dynamic green line snakes through the composition, connecting each element and referencing both physical travel and the deeper idea of intergenerational connection. The artwork’s bright, retro-inspired palette was developed from the Main Roads colour schemes for Hepburn to Whitfords and Whitfords to Ocean Reef, with a splash of bold pink added to modernise and unify the work.

True to its name, Retro Roots & Suburban Boots is more than a nostalgic throwback—it’s a reflection on how much has changed, and how much remains. Classic cars still cruise the streets, mullets have made their comeback, and Ugg boots are as essential as ever. The mural captures that sense of enduring identity, playfulness and local pride with boldness, humour and heart.

Retro Roots & Suburban Boots is Fieldey’s newest mural, a nostalgic love letter to the working-class charm of Perth’s northern suburbs from the 1970s through the 1990s. Painted in Craigie, where Fieldey first landed after moving to Perth, the artwork blends personal memories with stories gathered from the local community to create a lively portrait of suburban life.

At the centre of the design is a retro drive-in movie scene: a couple on date night, complete with a glorious mullet, Farrah Fawcett waves, a loyal Kelpie and a choc-milk on hand. It is a playful nod to classic car culture, iconic hairstyles and the everyday comforts like trusty Ugg boots that defined life in Craigie during that era.

The mural’s details were shaped by the community itself. Fieldey reached out to residents through local Facebook groups, inviting them to share their favourite stories from growing up in the area. Their memories, funny, heartfelt and wonderfully specific, inspired many of the mural’s elements, including home milk deliveries, horse-shoe rolls, the Binishell dome, black cockatoos and banksias, and even the infamous creepy clown swing. These slices of local history were woven throughout the composition so the artwork feels both deeply personal and unmistakably Craigie.

The mural was brought to life by a team of three artists over six days of painting. Together, they transformed the curved wall into a flowing visual narrative visible from both the freeway and the nearby carpark. A sweeping green line travels through the artwork, linking each vignette and symbolising both physical movement and intergenerational connection. The retro-inspired palette draws from Main Roads colour schemes for Hepburn to Whitfords and Whitfords to Ocean Reef, with an added hit of bold pink to freshen and unify the design.

True to its name, Retro Roots & Suburban Boots is not just a nostalgic throwback. It is a celebration of what gives the northern suburbs their character. Some things have changed, but many have not. Classic cars still roam, mullets are back and Ugg boots remain essential. The mural captures that enduring sense of place with humour, colour and heart.

Illustration Project Grows at Rehoboth Christian CollegeChristian College

What began as a small commission for a few website illustrations quickly evolved into one of my most rewarding and expansive illustration projects to date – a full suite of 45 illustrations for Rehoboth Christian College, now featured across their website, publications, strategic plan, email footers, signage, and even school buses.

The original brief called for a modern, sketch-style set of characters to reflect the College’s vibrant and diverse community. I was asked to create 8–10 student illustrations and 4–5 adult staff figures, with the possibility of reimagining some of the school’s existing graphics in the new style for continuity. The creative direction focused on subtle movement, muted tones, and a blend of realism with hand-drawn charm. As one email described it:

“I like the relatively abstract style – it’s not aiming for 100% realism, but it’s also not too cartoony… the sketched look and muted colours are great.”

The team’s favourite reference was an image of a girl in a hat, which blended photography, illustration, and collage – an aesthetic that became the visual touchstone for the entire project. The goal was to capture the College’s spirit through warm, expressive illustrations that showcased real diversity – in age, ethnicity, style, and personality – while remaining clean and professional for use across media.

The overwhelmingly positive feedback led to a significant scale-up. It’s been incredibly rewarding to see the illustrations come to life across so many touchpoints, from digital to print and even in animated elements on the web.

Rehoboth Christian College describes itself as “a Christian college, but very forward-thinking” – and this project reflects that perfectly. It was a joy to work with a team that embraced creativity, valued visual storytelling, and gave me the freedom to bring their community to life in a fresh and modern way.

Morley Station Carpark

I was thrilled to win the tender to create a major public artwork for the Morley Station carpark as part of the METRONET project. My concept was selected because of its strong connection to Morley – it referenced iconic institutions and shared experiences from the past 40 years. I wanted the work to create a sense of continuity between the well-established, historical side of Morley and the new, modern space of the train station and its surrounds.

The final artwork was made up of three main areas: a blade wall, a series of perforated screens, and the level 1 balustrade wall. Together, they formed a bold, modern statement that helped shape the arrival and departure experience in a meaningful way.

The blade wall featured the word "Morley" in large, colourful, overlapping letters – a visual reference to the classic Morley Markets font. I included abstract patterns inspired by local history, with nods to the old Boans department store and architectural designs from the area. I also created detailed black-and-white illustrations of curry leaves, olives, dragon fruit and bananas, which tied into the perforated screens nearby.

The perforated screen artwork wrapped around the carpark and offered a modern-retro take on Morley’s past and present. I focused on edible plants as a visual motif, to reflect the influence of Morley’s multicultural communities and how they’ve shaped the local environment and culture.

The level 1 balustrade wall was where I really got to lean into the nostalgia. I combined archival images with playful, colourful references to local culture – starting with the old Boans department store and moving through scenes featuring the Morley Seal sculptures, the Wirrina Drive-In Theatre, and the much-loved Morley Rollerdrome. It was also important for me to acknowledge the area’s Italian and Asian communities, so I included details and colour palettes that spoke to those cultural influences.

This project was a joy to work on – not only because it allowed me to explore Morley’s rich history, but because it reminded me of the power public art has to connect people to place. I hope the finished work brings a sense of pride and recognition to the local community, while welcoming new visitors with a bold and colourful snapshot of what makes Morley unique.

Whiteman Park Underpass Murals

As part of the METRONET Morley–Ellenbrook Line project, I had the honour of collaborating with artist Rohin Kickett to create Seen/Unseen, a large-scale mural for the pedestrian underpass at Whiteman Park Station. Together, we set out to create a visually striking and conceptually layered artwork that would reflect the unique relationship between water, land and people in the Bennett Brook catchment.

The mural is spread across both sides of the underpass, with each wall exploring different aspects of this vital landscape. The north wall focused on the Seen and the Unseen: the surface waters of Bennett Brook and the underground Gnangara Mound aquifer. By layering aerial views with hydro-geographical mapping, we aimed to invite viewers to reflect on how we visualise place, and how so much of what shapes it lies beneath the surface.

Rohin’s style brought a deeply cultural dimension to the work, combining Western mapping techniques with Noongar storytelling. His influence allowed us to present Country as a deeply interconnected space, where every element – from the visible creeks to the underground flows – plays a role in sustaining life.

On the south wall, we mirrored the format of the north but shifted the perspective. The Gnangara Mound was shown as a hidden void – a quiet, powerful force. We introduced ghostly images of animals that rely on this water source, such as fish and waterbirds, highlighting the fragile balance of the ecosystem. Overlays of modern infrastructure, like roads and rail lines, were interwoven with the ancient Biddi (Indigenous pathways), drawing connections between past and present, built and natural, seen and unseen.

My contribution came through the addition of detailed, realistic paintings of native flora and fauna found in Whiteman Park. These were carefully integrated into the layers of mapping and storytelling, representing the quiet but constant presence of wildlife in the area. These details offered a further way for viewers to see the land not just as space, but as a living, breathing entity.

Seen/Unseen was more than just a mural – it was a visual and cultural journey. It was about acknowledging the ongoing story of this landscape and inviting people to see beyond what’s immediately visible. By combining art, history, and ecology, Rohin and I hoped to offer something that would resonate with commuters, residents, and visitors alike – a reminder of the rich, layered connections that bind people to place.

Cowden Park Mural, West Leederville

I recently completed another beautiful piece - an EOI tender to revamp the Cowden Park toilet block, working alongside students from West Leederville Primary School.

For this project, I kicked things off with a concept-building workshop with the students. We explored the theme "Celebrating the beauty of our area," and they came up with incredible ideas that I could incorporate into the mural.

The final design is a fun and vibrant piece that wraps around the building, cleverly integrating areas of the original color to tie it back to its surroundings. A blue horizon line symbolizes Lake Monger, with silhouettes of people enjoying the walking and cycling paths. Native flora and fauna add a local touch, celebrating the area's natural beauty.

To make this project truly community-driven, my team and I created "paint-by-numbers" outlines on the wall. The students then had a painting day, filling in all the flat color areas. They absolutely loved it, and it was amazing to see them proudly point out "their bit" of the mural to friends and family.

I completed the final details, painting realistic birds and animals, and we finished it off with an anti-graffiti coating to ensure longevity.

This project was such a rewarding experience, blending community involvement with creativity.

Tom Carroll Portrait

Back in 2016, I had the incredible opportunity to meet former world champion big-wave surfer Tom Carroll at his home in Sydney’s Northern Beaches. The visit wasn’t just to talk surfing – I was there to photograph and sketch Tom in his home environment, alongside his much-loved cat, Chino, as preparation for a portrait painting.

The final artwork captured a quiet, introspective moment between man and animal – a side of Tom not often seen in the public eye. While he’s well known for his fearless approach to surfing, what struck me most was his warmth, humility, and humour. He had the energy of someone who’d lived deeply, but had arrived at a place of peace and self-acceptance. I wanted to translate that into the painting – to reflect not only his achievements but his essence.

My portrait style uses layers of acrylic paint to build depth and texture. The early layers are loose and expressive, creating an emotional base. With each additional layer, I refine the details, gradually guiding the viewer’s attention. In this piece, the more realistic elements were deliberately placed to anchor the composition, allowing the freer, painterly parts to breathe. It’s a balance I love exploring – between structure and spontaneity, realism and emotion.

This portrait of Tom and Chino remains one of my favourites – not just for the final result, but for the experience of meeting someone so iconic and finding, in that moment, something truly human to share.

Manners Hill Park Mural - Peppermint Grove

Securing the tender for Manner’s Hill Park was a testament to the strength of my concept—an elegant and contemporary design that incorporated local flora and fauna in a refined, understated manner.

With this being the Shire of Peppermint Grove’s first mural, my goal was to create an artwork that seamlessly embraced the building while respecting its natural environment. I opted for a modern Australian bush palette, introducing a bold feature colour to provide contrast and visual impact without overwhelming the setting.

To further integrate the mural with its surroundings, I worked with the existing colour of the wall, allowing the artwork to blend harmoniously with the architecture. The design itself is fluid, avoiding hard edges and instead flowing around the building’s sides and the toilet entry walls. This approach not only maximised the space but also ensured the piece felt organic and in tune with its environment.

Bringing this vision to life was a rewarding process, achieved with the support of two assistants over six days of painting. The result is a striking yet sympathetic addition to Peppermint Grove—a mural that enhances rather than imposes, offering a lasting connection between art and nature.

250m-Long Mural for Spearwood Ave, Yangebup

I was awarded a commission through an Expression of Interest (EOI) process to transform a 250-meter-long noise wall on Spearwood Avenue. The wall, which had originally been painted in a drab green colour, had long been an eyesore for the local residents. Positioned along a busy road where cars travel at speeds of up to 70 km/h, the wall had limited visibility to pedestrians, and the challenge was to create an engaging design that would be seen predominantly from passing vehicles.

The brief called for a simple, bright, and fun design that would uplift the area while also reflecting the unique characteristics of the suburb. To guide the design process, I held a community consultation workshop, where local residents shared their thoughts on what made Spearwood special. The feedback was invaluable, with many participants pointing out that the wall’s primary audience would be drivers rather than pedestrians, which meant that intricate details would not be visible. As a result, the design needed to focus on large, semi-abstract shapes that would be effective from a distance.

The mural itself is divided into three sections, each representing a different aspect of the suburb’s ecosystems. The leftmost section depicts the inland market gardens, which are a prominent feature of the area. This part of the mural features stylised representations of flowers and onions, reflecting the agricultural history of Spearwood. The middle section transitions into the wetlands, with abstract shapes representing plants such as banksia, bulrushes, gum trees, and tuart flowers. Finally, the mural moves into the coastal zone, showcasing flora such as pigface, Geraldton wax flowers, dune mosses, cushion bush, and seaweed—plants that are native to the region and reflect the suburb’s connection to the sea.

This thoughtful progression from inland market gardens to wetlands and then to the coast creates a visual narrative that mirrors the natural environment surrounding Spearwood. The design's bold and vibrant colours, combined with its large-scale semi-abstract shapes, ensure that the mural stands out from the passing traffic and provides a visual experience for drivers.

The project was completed over the course of nine days, with myself and a team of skilled assistants working to bring the design to life. The outcome is a mural that not only brightens the once-drab wall but also celebrates the local flora and fauna, giving the residents of Spearwood a meaningful and colourful representation of their community's unique ecosystems.

This project highlights the power of public art in transforming urban spaces and fostering a sense of pride and connection within the community. It was a rewarding experience to work closely with the residents and contribute to the aesthetic improvement of Spearwood Avenue.

I was awarded a commission through an Expression of Interest (EOI) process to transform a 250-meter-long noise wall on Spearwood Avenue. The wall, which had originally been painted in a drab green colour, had long been an eyesore for the local residents. Positioned along a busy road where cars travel at speeds of up to 70 km/h, the wall had limited visibility to pedestrians, and the challenge was to create an engaging design that would be seen predominantly from passing vehicles.

The brief called for a simple, bright, and fun design that would uplift the area while also reflecting the unique characteristics of the suburb. To guide the design process, I held a community consultation workshop, where local residents shared their thoughts on what made Spearwood special.

Mural for South Coast Baptist College

I was commissioned by South Coast Baptist College to create a student-assisted mural that would serve as both a visual representation of the school’s identity and a celebration of its sporting culture. The brief required the incorporation of the school’s colours, the animals representing the four sports houses, and a verse that aligned with the school’s values.

To initiate the project, I conducted a concept-building workshop with Year 10 art students. This session allowed the students to actively engage in the creative process, sharing their ideas and perspectives on what the mural should represent. Their input was instrumental in shaping the direction of the design, ensuring that the final artwork would be a true reflection of the school community.

The design I developed incorporated the school colours and featured the four sporting house animals, each carefully integrated into the composition to reflect the unique characteristics of the houses and their respective students. The use of bold, vibrant colours helped to create a dynamic and engaging visual, while the animals were positioned in a way that symbolised both the individuality of each house and their collective unity.

The chosen verse was seamlessly woven into the design, reinforcing the values of the school and adding a layer of meaning to the artwork. This thoughtful inclusion ensured that the mural was not only visually striking but also resonated with the students and staff on a deeper level.

A key aspect of this project was the active involvement of the students in the mural’s execution. Throughout the painting process, the Year 10 students had the opportunity to contribute directly to the artwork, allowing them to take ownership of the mural and deepen their connection to the finished piece. This collaboration resulted in a mural that is not only a testament to the school’s spirit but also a reflection of the students’ creativity and commitment.

The completed mural now stands as a vibrant and meaningful addition to South Coast Baptist College, embodying the school’s values, celebrating its sporting achievements, and showcasing the collaborative effort that went into its creation. It was a privilege to work alongside the students and staff, and the mural will undoubtedly continue to inspire pride and community for years to come.

"Homecoming" - a 40m Long Mural for High Wycombe Train Station

I had the privilege of collaborating with the Public Transport Authority, Right Track, and the City of Kalamunda to create a lasting piece of public art. The location was unique: a 38-meter-long, 2.6-meter-high curved wall on Ibis Place in High Wycombe, near the newly established High Wycombe train station. The wall surrounds an electrical substation and is a prominent feature for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers accessing the station precinct. The goal was to design an artwork that would not only blend with its surroundings but also resonate with the community that interacts with it daily.

The design process began with a workshop involving a group of young people from the Right Track program. The participants identified key themes that would guide the artwork, including connection, the natural beauty of Kalamunda, and local flora and fauna. The animals that were particularly meaningful to the group—such as Black Cockatoos, Jacarandas, and Kangaroos—became central to the mural’s narrative.

Taking these themes to heart, I developed a design that transitions from the geometric shapes of the city to the organic, natural forms found in the surrounding hills. The left side of the wall features sharp, angular shapes that represent the city, while the right side showcases more realistic depictions of the animals—Black Cockatoos, Kangaroos, and Jacarandas—symbolizing the journey home from work through the familiar landscapes of the hills. The transformation of these geometric city animals into more lifelike forms of wildlife reflects the commuters’ own transition from the urban environment to the serene, natural beauty of their hometowns.

The mural’s unique, curved structure means that it must be walked around to fully experience the artwork, mimicking the unfolding landscape as viewed from a moving train. This design invites viewers to engage with the mural as they move through the space, creating a dynamic experience that is always in motion.

Sam Kerr Mural for Optus Sport

I was given the opportunity to paint a 7-metre-high mural of Matildas superstar Sam Kerr for the Optus Sport documentary Football Belongs. This project was an incredible experience—not only in its scale but also in its message. The mural was completed in just three days, with every step of the process filmed and documented for the feature.

From the outset, my goal was to portray Sam Kerr as more than just an athlete; I wanted to celebrate her strength, power, and determination. Women in street art are so often depicted as passive or ornamental, but with this mural, I aimed to challenge that narrative. I wanted young women and girls to see Sam as an inspiration—someone who has carved out a career at the highest level of football through skill and perseverance.

So much of street art is pretty girls or pretty girls crying. I wanted to create something that was a bit of an antidote to that,” I explained during the filming of the documentary. Instead of focusing on beauty, this piece captures athleticism and ambition—qualities that define Sam Kerr and set her apart as a role model.

The mural now stands in Fremantle, a striking tribute to one of Australia’s most celebrated athletes. Seeing the response from the community has been incredibly rewarding. Public art has the power to elevate voices, tell stories, and redefine perceptions, and I am honoured to have contributed to this project in a way that highlights the significance of women in sport.

This experience reinforced my belief in the role of street art in shaping conversations and inspiring change. Whether through community projects like the Weeip Park Mural or high-profile commissions like this one, my goal remains the same: to create art that resonates, empowers, and leaves a lasting impact.

Community Mural for Weeip Park Development

As an artist, I believe in the power of art to foster community identity and engagement. The Weeip Park Community Art Mural was a project designed to do just that—creating a vibrant landmark for the Weeip Park Youth Space while involving the young people of Midland to take part as active stakeholders in their own community.

To ensure the mural reflected the voices and experiences of the local youth, I conducted five youth engagement brainstorming sessions and a dedicated workshop. These sessions were designed to gather a diverse range of ideas and stories, ensuring the final artwork was both meaningful and representative of the community. Additionally, drawing on my experience as a YouTube creator, I developed a custom video to promote the project—meeting young people on a platform they use and identify with.

A major theme of the mural is connection—both in the literal sense of Midland’s role as a transport hub and in the way young people come together in shared spaces. The design features colourful squares and shapes that form a semi-realistic map of Midland, highlighting key locations such as schools and Midland Gate. These elements were designed to be accessible for all skill levels, allowing participants to contribute during six community painting days that I facilitated.

Complementing this dynamic map are personal stories and memories, expressed through realistic black-and-white imagery and accompanying text. These contributions, provided by individual young people, create a story trail that visitors can follow throughout the park. The result is a mural that not only enhances the space visually but also serves as a testament to the significance of creative arts in building community and offering young people a sense of belonging and purpose.

This project exemplifies the role of art in shaping public spaces, fostering engagement, and demonstrating to the youth of Midland that creativity is a powerful tool for storytelling, connection, and professional opportunity. I am honoured to have been part of this initiative, and I look forward to seeing the impact it will continue to have on the community.

Food Truck Revamp

Kate, the owner of Grilled to the Mac, one of Perth's best-loved food trucks, invited me to collaborate on the redesign of her iconic van. After 10 years in business, Kate knew it was time for a refresh – something bold and eye-catching that would capture the essence of the business and get people talking.

The design was inspired by a dream Kate had. Picture this: a sandwich with wheels, driving down a cheese road through a landscape filled with American icons that reflected the delicious fast food Grilled to the Mac serves.

I immediately gravitated towards the idea of a hot-rod sandwich – something that would make the original logo stand out and align more with the high-energy, fun vibe of the American fast food culture, while still echoing Grilled to the Mac’s ethos: “to the mac (max).” I set to work, pushing the concept further by blending in elements of classic American hot-rod culture and drawing inspiration from the legendary Ed Roth’s artwork.

For the truck’s new design, I chose a striking colour scheme of sky blue and orange to make the artwork bold and dynamic. New, high-impact hot-rod sandwiches and playful icons emerged, making the truck unmistakable on the road.

This total transformation that reflects not just the food but the energy and spirit of the business. Kate was so pleased with the design that she asked me to create a new logo based on the hot-rod sandwich. The new logo better represented the truck’s fresh look and has been a hit with customers.

Since the makeover, Grilled to the Mac has been busier than ever. The positive feedback at events has been overwhelming, and it’s clear that the new look has sparked something special. It’s been a joy to see the truck stand out, drawing in crowds and bringing a little extra flavour to Perth’s already vibrant food scene.

Beachside Painting Workshops for Fringe Festival

The City of Stirling approached me to run custom 'drop-in' trucker painting workshops at the stunning Sunset Veranda during the Fringe World Festival. This free activity aimed to kids, parents, and other festival goers.

Over the course of the festival, we facilitated multiple three-hour drop-in workshops. People of all ages showed up eager to customise their very own trucker caps. Each participant could choose from four different coloured caps, and we supplied all the paint pens and pencils needed to turn a blank canvas into something truly special.

The concept was designed to be laid-back and accessible. With the drop-in style, we could accommodate up to 50 people in just two hours, which meant we could include as many participants as possible throughout the day. It also meant that we could cater to different age groups and attention spans.

What I loved the most was seeing the creativity flow, especially when the kids realised they could create their very own piece of wearable art. It was amazing to watch them get absorbed in the painting process, knowing that they would walk away with something they could wear with pride. The joy on their faces when they finished their caps—some even proudly rocking them to school after—was priceless.

For those who wanted to get even more creative, we allowed participants to bring along their surfboards or skateboards, providing an opportunity for them to paint on their own gear.

All in all, the workshops were a huge success. They offered a free, engaging activity for festival-goers that brought the community together in a way that felt relaxed and creative. Seeing people of all ages come together to express their own style through art—whether on a cap, board, or just on paper—displayed the spirit of Perth Fridge - creativity without borders.

New Shop Fit-Out for Bang Digital

To enhance their presence and create an engaging streetscape, they commissioned me to design and paint a 13-metre-long mural on their front fence. The objective was to not only complement the new space but also to capture attention and spark curiosity among passersby.

Renae, the Managing Director, originally suggested a botanical theme, but I wanted to add an extra dimension—something that would make people stop and take a closer look, especially those waiting at the traffic lights right next to the wall. So, I wove in a playful twist: hidden within the lush botanical elements were “things that go bang!”—unexpected explosive motifs that added a layer of intrigue and fun to the piece.

The mural was a hit. So much so that Bang Digital invited me back to bring the magic indoors with three additional murals to inject even more energy into their workspace. For the final internal mural, I took inspiration from their name and designed a bold, typographic piece spelling out 'BANG'. Each letter was brought to life with elements reflecting the company’s ethos and culture.

'N' incorporated a classic 80s Viewmaster, a reminder to always keep the bigger picture in sight. And 'G' displayed a set of tin cans connected by string—a simple yet powerful representation of communication.

Bringing these murals to life was an absolute joy, and it was fantastic to see Bang Digital embrace creativity as a key part of their brand identity. Their space isn’t just an office—it’s a vibrant, inspiring hub that reflects their dynamic spirit.

"Bang Digital engaged Fieldey to work on our corporate street frontage mural in 2019.
From the moment we first engaged with Fieldey, she really listened to the brief, took the time to ask questions, and got  to know our business and the look and feel that we wanted. The street mural is so striking, and its generated a large amount of interest for us and the business, by drawing attention to our building and brand signage.
We then decided to engage Fieldey to complete a body of work inside our office. Again she took on board the challenge of communicating our brand in a highly creative way, as well as working with us, taking feedback on board and refining to get it right.
​Fieldey is an absolute delight to work with, and just amazing to watch her in her craft.  She is a true talent. I wish I could find some more white space for her to cover."

Collaborative Student-Led Murals at Safety Bay Senior High

I was invited to facilitate two student-assisted murals in collaboration with Safety Bay Senior High School. The aim was to beautify the school and engage students in a creative process. The first mural, created for the school’s 40th Anniversary, and the second, promoting ‘The Arts,’ were painted with the help of selected Year 8 to 10 students and art teacher Tracey Sharpe.

The process started with a brainstorming workshop where I guided the students in developing ideas for the mural. Using their input, I created a professional concept that was approved by the school. A second workshop focused on skills development, where I taught painting techniques to help the students gain confidence before the final full-day painting session. The students brought the walls to life, and Tracey and I finished the murals to a professional standard the following day.

Every project I take on is an opportunity to push creative boundaries and bring a little more art into the world. Whether it's a community focused mural or a large scale corporate piece, my goal is always to create something that tells a story and makes an impact.

Pop-up Beatles Mural for Kaleidoscope Festival

I recently created a stunning pop-up mural paying tribute to The Beatles, as part of Joondalup’s Kaleidoscope Festival.

Taking inspiration from The Beatles' timeless legacy, I infused the piece with meticulous detail and lifelike representation, capturing the essence of each band member. The artwork served as both a nostalgic homage and a modern interpretation, seamlessly blending street art aesthetics with classic rock iconography.

Taking inspiration from The Beatles' timeless legacy, I infused the piece with meticulous detail and lifelike representation, capturing the essence of each band member. The artwork served as both a nostalgic homage and a modern interpretation, seamlessly blending street art aesthetics with classic rock iconography.

I wanted to create something that captures the spirit of The Beatles and the energy of the Kaleidoscope Festival—bold, immersive, and full of life.

The pop-up nature of the mural made it a unique attraction, reinforcing the festival’s ethos of ephemeral, ever-changing artistic expression. As the festival wrapped up, the mural disappeared, leaving behind only memories and photographs—a fitting tribute to both the fleeting magic of live art and the timeless legacy of The Beatles.

The Kaleidoscope Festival once again proved itself as a premier event for immersive art experiences, and I was honored that my Beatles mural stood out as a festival highlight.

Custom Window Graphics for Coca-Cola

I had the privilege of again working with Coca-Cola, this time on a unique digital window artwork for Polly Coffee Bar, an iconic venue in the heart of Perth’s main cultural precinct. This was an exciting challenge—creating a design that reflected the cafe owner’s vision while subtly incorporating Coca-Cola branding.

Since the final piece was to be printed onto vinyl and applied to the cafe’s windows, I proposed a photographic-based montage. Inspired by the Colombian coffee region, the artwork was shaped by the owner's desire to emphasise coffee, jungles, and the hardworking growers of Latin America.

To make this vision a reality, I teamed up with professional photographer Matt Fieldes and traveled to Colombia’s Zona Cafetera. There, I personally directed the photography process, capturing the lush landscapes and vibrant coffee culture firsthand.

Using these stunning images, I created a rich jungle and coffee montage—bold, immersive, and alive with color. The Coca-Cola branding was woven in subtly, enhancing rather than overpowering the beauty of the scene. The final window is visually striking tribute to coffee culture that perfectly complements Polly Coffee Bar’s atmosphere.

This project was an incredible journey from concept to completion, and I’m thrilled to see it become part of Perth’s creative landscape.

“We tasked Fieldey with a rather tricky brief. To pay homage to a unique venue, Pollys Coffee Bar, in one of the most iconic part in Perth.

Not only did Fieldey decipher our complex brief, she kept numerous stakeholders happy and engaged while providing a fantastic end solution that complimented the outlet and surrounds.

Fieldey was a delight to work with and I look forward to collaborating with her on many projects to come.”

Kristy Aylmore, Customer Activation Manager, Coca-Cola.
