...has been slack posting. It's been a while between posts. But I've been working on new things, making lots of paint mess and planning for the rest of the year (cos my brain struggles with anything further than that πŸ˜€). In truth, I haven't painted in the studio anything new (other than murals) in quite a long time, maybe over 6 months. It's part of the creative process to have these lulls, and so I've been actively working on it... and now the flood gates are open and the canvases are flying out of me (in a non weird way). So this is your reminder that it's okay to rest, it's necessary. Full steam ahead, 24/7, isn't sustainable in life or in creativity. Be kind to yourself 😊.

P.S. there will be a change to the shop hours in July - closed Tuesdays as well - OPEN Wed-Sat πŸ‘ŒπŸ˜€

...is sending out love and gratitude to all our mother figures, whether by birth, love, circumstance, friendship or just generally caring for other humans - past, present and in the future. This human hiding by this gargantuan bunch of flowers (of which she's probably delivering as I type) is all of the above and more... mum, friend and caring human to me and a host of others.

Can we take a moment for Zoe? πŸ’›πŸŽ¨

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to share this mural journey with. Zoe jumped into this project with both feet β€” paint-covered, sun-soaked and all β€” and brought so much talent, energy, and joy to every wall we worked on.

From her attention to detail (yes, that duck!) to her calm presence and willingness to give anything a go, she’s been an absolute gem. Watching her creativity flourish, her confidence grow, and her steady hand bring these birds and plants to life has been one of the biggest highlights of this whole experience.

Zoe, thank you for the laughs, the chats, the precision painting and the endless good vibes. You’ve left your mark on these walls in more ways than one, and I can’t wait to see where your creative journey takes you next. Gundy is lucky to have you.

The future is big for this one β€” and we’ll all be watching as she conquers the world one brushstroke at a time. Go get β€˜em, Zoe πŸ’«

The Albert Street side β€” where the sun was hot, the days were long, and the real MVP was… the umbrella β˜‚οΈπŸ˜‰

This stretch of the mural was a big one β€” painted under bright blue skies with plenty of sunburn πŸ₯΅ but filled with so many beautiful moments. From the friendly beeps and waves from passing cars to the chats with walkers, runners, and everyone in between β€” it felt like the whole town was cheering us on.

Zoe absolutely brought the magic to this wall, especially bringing that duck to life on the brick wall. Watching her grow in confidence and creativity through this project has been such a joy.

We’re now officially in the wrap-up phase β€” adding final touches, tidying edges, and soaking up the full picture of what we’ve created together. I can’t wait to show you the final result. πŸ’›

You know those full circle moments, that come round to remind you where you’ve been, where you’re going, and that we’re all connected? Well this project has given me a few of those, the highest on the list is getting to work with Lesley Hawker. Mrs Hawker was my senior highschool art teacher. I created my first official public art piece with her in Year 12. She taught me to think differently, to trust my vision, to explore and be curious and, best of all, she challenged me. And now she’s here bringing her current students to work with me on a project! Seriously, full circle moment. πŸ™Œ

As an academic student, art was my release. Turns out, I worked way harder in that class than any chemistry or high level maths... and it fed my soul. And it continues to - a reminder that following that tug on your heart leads places bigger than you can imagine. I’m so glad I followed that path instead. So, in Lesley Hawker’s retiring year of an epic 45 years of teaching, it’s not lost on me the profound effect both art and great teachers can have on lives. Thank you, Lesley. 🫢

The Pool Pump House is coming to life β€” and she’s looking spectacular! 🎨🌿

Over the past few days, the vision has truly started to take shape, with colour, movement and texture now dancing across the walls. This mural is fast becoming a vibrant tribute to our local waterways and birdlife β€” and judging by all the beeps, waves and hellos from the community, it seems you’re loving watching it unfold just as much as I am!

It’s been such a joy to bring this space to life β€” and even more special to be doing it right here in the town I grew up in.

Next up, I’ll be joined by the Goondiwindi State High School students to help finish things off β€” and I can’t wait to see them add their mark to this community project. πŸ’›

...wishes you a happy Easter long weekend, one filled with family, friends, rest and chocolate. I'll be back at it painting the mural at the Goondiwindi Town Pool from tomorrow after spending today among the above 4 things πŸ™Œ.

A few big days, a few painted ducklings, and a whole lotta heart… πŸ¦†πŸŽ¨πŸ’›

The Toddler Pool wall is almost finished – and she’s looking quackin’ good! This stage of the mural is all about the little ones β€” the ducklings, the water lilies, the gentle ripples and colour that bring this space to life.

Swipe through for a look at what’s been created over the past few days. Next up: the Pool Pump House gets her moment in the sun over Easter so be sure to keep an eye out as you drive past and feel free to give a little beep!
