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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Cult Movie Themed Murals for Winebox Hotel
Another standout project was at Winebox, Chile’s first hotel and winery made entirely from shipping containers. I was invited to create three custom murals in different rooms, blending a wine theme with cult movie references.
Working with my partner Mitch Low, we designed three bespoke murals inspired by Pulp Fiction, Barbarella, and Foxy Brown, each incorporating cheeky wine references. The murals are a blend of black and white realism, with two bright accent colors, carefully matched to each room’s dominant color scheme. Bright retro pop patterns tied everything together, reinforcing the vintage aesthetic while making the murals a seamless part of the interior design.
This visually striking collection of murals enhance the guest experience and serve as a fantastic social media magnet. Visitors frequently share photos of the artwork, turning them into an ongoing promotional tool for the hotel.
Tiki Bar Wall Mural for Streets of Perth
Nikki and Duncan, from Streets of Perth, bought their amazing new home in November last year and asked me to come paint a custom mural to brighten up their outdoor tiki bar. We started stage one last year and on the weekend I came in and finished off stage two by adding Indi the cat and some wood paneling.
The wall originally had a large mosaic on it, but when the house changed hands the old owners took it with them and left a large yellow space to be filled. Nikki and Duncan wanted a trompe l’oeil beach scene with tropical elements to brighten up the space. Inspiration for the beach scene comes from my all time favourite beach, Emily Bay, from Norfolk Island, where I grew up and spent many happy days swimming as a kid.
Our model is the stunning Marina Martini and the cat is the princess of the house, Indi, the rag doll. If they had a pet Macaw it probably wouldn’t last long in a house with cats! Big thank you to Nikki and Duncan for being awesome hosts, Marina for being an awesome model and also to Mitch Low for being no. 1 best minion.
Huge (30M) Mural for Stockland Bull Creek Shopping Centre
I recently had the opportunity to be the chief facilitator and muralist for a project that brought together creativity, community, and local culture. Stockland Bull Creek Shopping Centre commissioned me to create a mural on a massive 30-meter exterior wall, and what made it even more exciting was the involvement of a talented group of Year 11 students from Melville Senior High.
The mural needed to reflect the natural surroundings of the area while using bright colors and an eye-catching narrative. After brainstorming with the students, two inspiring art teachers—Ali Blackwell and Jenna Antoniolli—joined the team, and together we developed a design that reflected the local environment in a meaningful way.
Mexican-Themed Nightclub Fit-Out
Entertainment Enterprises commissioned me to transform Paramount nightclub in Northbridge, Perth, into a vibrant Mexican-themed party venue: Señor Peppers. The brief was clear—bring the energy of a Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) fiesta to life, with playful and eye-catching artwork that would complement the venue’s new identity.
I spent two weeks painting four massive interior walls during the re-fit construction phase. This was no small feat—large scaffolds became my new best friends as I tackled a particularly tricky 7m x 5m staircase wall, which was transformed into a lively scene of dancing skeletons.
Every brushstroke was carefully considered to align with the interior design and furnishings, ensuring that the murals blended seamlessly into the final aesthetic of the venue. Bold, dynamic colours set the stage for a space that radiated fun, energy, and a true Mexican party vibe.
To capture the spirit of the project, I created a fun ‘making of’ video for Señor Peppers, giving people a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process. This became a fantastic way for the venue to engage with their audience on social media, building excitement before the grand opening.
The end result was a visually striking venue filled with colour, character, and an unmistakable fiesta atmosphere. Seeing my work become an integral part of Señor Peppers was incredibly rewarding, and I couldn’t have been happier to bring this vision to life.
¡Viva la fiesta!
Coca-Cola Space Activation Murals
In November 2015, Coca-Cola tapped renowned Perth street artist Fieldey to bring a touch of retro flair to the legendary Ocean Beach Hotel (OBH) in Cottesloe, Western Australia. The project aimed to bring the vibrant spirit of the beach to life while subtly incorporating Coca-Cola branding.
Fieldey’s first masterpiece adorns the downstairs bar, where she transformed a wall into a stunning depiction of Cottesloe Beach. A custom-painted ‘Gidget’ surfboard was mounted on top, seamlessly tying in with the area’s surf culture. Coca-Cola branding was cleverly integrated, with two retro Coke bottles nestled in the sand and a logo etched onto the surfboard, maintaining a playful yet subtle nod to the brand.
LIQUITEX Skate Art for OZ Comic-Con
In April 2015, Jasco commissioned artist Fieldey to create three unique skate decks for display at Oz Comic-Con in Melbourne, showcasing the versatility of Liquitex products. Fieldey used her signature graffiti-inspired techniques, including basic fades, a liquid soap effect, and chains as stencils, to bring her designs to life.
The three decks featured distinct themes: a Little Red Riding Hood-inspired design, a wild blue and green bulldog, and a tattoo-style board with skulls and chains. Each piece demonstrated how Liquitex aerosol and acrylic paints could work together to create vibrant, textured artworks.
Seven Skates - Skateboard Range
Perth Street artist, Fieldey, tasked with designing four unique graphics. Fieldey drew inspiration from diverse music genres, including tie-dye, hip-hop, Rasta, and punk culture, to craft an eye-catching collection aimed at a younger audience. The creative process led to the development of striking skull designs, each serving as a bold emblem for its respective genre. Staying true to her signature style, Fieldey meticulously hand-painted each piece before digitizing them for final production. The completed designs were delivered to the client in EPS format, ensuring high-quality, scalable artwork suitable for various applications. This latest project showcases Fieldey’s ability to merge artistic expression with cultural themes, reinforcing her reputation as a leading force in contemporary skateboard art. With its fusion of music, youth culture, and street-style aesthetics, the collection is set to make waves in the skateboard community.
Don't Drink and Drown Campaign
In a creative bid to raise awareness about water safety, a striking custom-painted surfboard became the centerpiece of the "Don't Drink and Drown" campaign, aimed at preventing drownings among 15- to 24-year-olds.
Perth street artist Fieldey was commissioned to design a one-of-a-kind surfboard that would resonate with the campaign’s young audience. The result? A bold, retro-inspired skull submerged in a sea of beer—an eye-catching yet sobering reminder of the dangers of mixing alcohol with water activities.
The visually striking board wasn’t just for display; it was put to action by surfer Moses Le Grice, who rode it at various events throughout 2014. The campaign successfully leveraged surf culture to drive home its serious message in a way that felt fresh, relevant, and engaging for its target demographic
Custom surfboard project for Anytime fitness
When Anytime Fitness needed five custom surfboards as prizes for their 2013 annual conference in Minnesota, they turned to renowned artist Fieldey to bring the vision to life. Fieldey was excited to take on the project but quickly realised that sourcing surfboards in an inland state would be far more difficult than in Australia.
To keep things cost-effective, Fieldey arranged for the boards to be shaped in the U.S., tracking down the only shaper in a neighbouring landlocked state. With the surfboards in production, Fieldey collaborated with Anytime Fitness’ in-house design team to adapt their graphics onto digital surfboard templates.
To ensure a flawless finish, the artwork was printed onto specialised surfboard mesh inlays by an Australian company before being shipped to the U.S. for application during manufacturing. The final result? Five stunning, high-quality surfboards delivered to Minnesota just in time for the conference.
Through creative problem-solving and international collaboration, Fieldey helped Anytime Fitness make waves—without a coastline in sight.
