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.

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.

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.

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.

The theme explored the Nyoongar seasonal calendar, bringing the area’s connection to nature front and centre. The mural features local bird species like the crow, galah, and ibis, painted in vibrant detail. My role was to bring these birds to life, working alongside the students who contributed their skills in patterning and design.

The whole process was a blast. We kicked off with an ideas-building workshop at the school, where I shared techniques and creative concepts with the Year 11 students. Then, over three days, we worked together to transform the blank wall into a work of art. Watching the students take ownership of the project while learning along the way was incredibly rewarding.

This project really showcased how shopping centres like Stockland Bull Creek can not only enrich their environment and connect with the local community through collaborative art.
