Client: Grilled to the Mac When: Feb 2020 Brief: Grilled to the Mac is a fixture on the Perth food-truck scene, however after 10 years of business the van was in need of a fresh paint job to draw attention to the business as it was getting lost amongst all the other food trucks at events. Kate, the owner of the truck, asked Fieldey to create something based on a dream she had: the logo (a sandwich with wheels) driving down a cheese road in a landscape that featured American icons that represented the types of food they have on offer. Outcome: Fieldey was immediately drawn to the idea of a hot-rod sandwich which took the original logo and made it stand out and better reflect the American fast food scene whilst also representing the "to the mac (max)" ethos of the business. The design for the truck incorporated Kate's idea of the cheese road and icons, but then pushed it a step further by combining American hot-rod custom culture and the iconic art of Ed Roth. Fieldey chose the high-impact complimentary colours of sky blue and orange to make the artwork pop, and created new dynamic and bold hot-rod sandwiches and icons. Kate then asked Fieldey to create a new logo for the business based on the new sandwich icon that better reflected the new look. Feedback from events has been fantastic, with the truck being busier than ever and receiving a lot of great feedback about the new look. 
 Client: Mellen Events When: November 2018 Brief: Fieldey was commissioned by Drew from Mellen Events to create a large scale 'pop-up' mural celebrating The Beatles to be used in the Kaleidoscope Festival KBAR. Outcome: Fieldey painted The Fab Four over two days and the final mural was used as a backdrop for the pop-up 'KBAR' during the incredible Kaleidoscope Festival. The mural was a huge hit for fans of The Beatles.  Client: Winebox Hotel, Valparaíso, Chile When: April 2018 Brief: Winebox is Chile's first hotel and winery made entirely from shipping containers. Fieldey was asked to create three custom murals in three different rooms that would combine a wine theme, with cult movies.  Outcome: Fieldey and her partner Mitch Low, created three bespoke murals that combined the cult movies of Pulp Fiction, Barbarella and Foxy Brown with cheeky wine references. All the murals were painted in black and white with two bright accent colours that were colour matched with the dominant colour schemes in each room. Bright retro pop patterns also helped to bring together the retro theme and make the murals a part of the interior design of the spaces. The murals have been great for social media promotion, as delighted customers regularly post photos on instagram of them. Client: Stockland Bull Creek Shopping Centre When: November 2016 Brief: Fieldey was commissioned to be the chief facilitator and muralist for a collaborative project between Stockland Bull Creek Shopping Centre and Melville Senior High. The project was to produce a high-quality mural on a large 30m exterior wall of the shopping centre incorporating the skills of a Melville Senior High Year 11 design class. The mural theme needed to respond to the natural surrounds of the area and involve bright colouring and an eye-catching narrative. Outcome: The students, along with two art teachers, Ali Blackwell and Jenna Antoniolli, contributed to the patterning while Fieldey painted the realistic bird life and oversaw the entire project. Painting of the mural took three days in addition to an in-school ideas-building workshop with the year 11 students at Melville Senior High. The length of the wall is 30 by 2.5 metres and the theme explored the Nyoongar seasonal calendar and features local bird species such as the crow, galah and ibis. This project was a great example of how a shopping centre can integrate and involve the community while still receiving a professional-level finished mural.
Outcome: Over the course of two weeks, Fieldey hand painted four massive interior walls during the re-fit construction phase. Large scaffolds were used and a tricky 7m x 5m staircase wall was fully painted with dancing skeletons. Colours and themes were inspired by, and responded to, the interior design. The final result was a suite of colourful and fun murals that worked in conjunction with the furnishings and interior design. Fieldey also created a fun "making of" video for Señor Peppers to use across their social media channels.
Outcome: Fieldey decided to fill the large three-section wall with a story about Frida Kahlo. Basing it on Frida's famous piece "Las Dos Fridas", she painted a large portrait of Frida in the main room. Frida is holding a heart that has a blood vessel that winds along the wall into the next room which features Diego Rivera, in toad form, holding an identical linked heart. The third wall features a mariachi skeleton holding a bottle of El Jimador Tequila. All the colours are based on traditional Mexican painting styles and the finished murals became iconic in Perth.
Outcome: Fieldey and Rob Jenkins were commissioned to bring the venue to life. Fieldey provided the human element and painted a large jazz-themed portrait on the rear wall, and Rob added his well-known leaf patterning to flow around the surfaces of the bar and interact with the mural. Both of the artworks used the Best Brew corporate colour palette of grey with touches of red and green. 
Fieldey created two custom videos of the project for YouTube which can be viewed below.
