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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jazz Themed Mural for Four Points by Sheraton

Back in November 2015, Best Brew Bar at Four Points by Sheraton in Perth decided it was time to spice up its vibe. The once-plain walls were in desperate need of some personality, and the team behind the bar wanted to create a space that felt both fresh and professional.

Their idea was simple: combine cool portrait art with intricate patterns to give the bar a lively atmosphere. But there was one catch—the artwork needed to incorporate the bar’s corporate color scheme of grey, red, and green.

Enter artists Fieldey and Rob Jenkins, who totally nailed the brief. Fieldey brought a bold, jazz-inspired portrait to life on the back wall, adding a unique human touch to the bar. Meanwhile, Rob Jenkins worked his magic with stunning leaf patterns that swirled around the space, connecting beautifully with the mural and giving the bar an extra pop.

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.
