This artwork celebrates the beautiful land of Awabakal on the beaches of Newcastle.
A backdrop of songlines on country acknowledges traditional custodians, the Awabakal people, as the people of the hills and plains, while interwoven waterways and middens imagery (mounds of shell discarded over thousands of years, when feasting) across the top of the artwork are reflective of our waterways inclusive of the coast, Conquun (Hunter River), Awaba (Lake Macquarie) and wetlands found across country.
People symbols interwoven throughout the central imagery are reflective of family and gathering together, with THE Elder symbols and small gathering circles highlighting the value of family, passing on knowledge to future generations and the journey of life from past, present and into the future.
Earthy tones alongside message stick imagery, flowing across the bottom of the artwork, brings a welcoming message to all to share in the culture and beauty of this land.

As an artist, I enjoy the creative journey of collaboration experienced when connecting directly with people, to create personalised artwork. I welcome opportunity to create commissioned artworks for individuals, groups or professional organisations. My goal in accepting commission is for the process to be both gratifying for me, as an artist and pleasurable for those who have decided to integrate my art into their living or working environment.
I invite you to view my past works, current collections and view testimonials to gain an insight into who I am as a person and an artist. Let’s see how we might work together to create a uniquely individual artwork for your home or office.
COMMISSIONED ARTWORK
I am happy to discuss your requirements and answer question relating to your project as you consider commissioning me to bring your artwork vision to reality.
Should you wish to provide me with an image of your space(s) and some ideas and concepts you are working with, it would be my pleasure to provide you with an initial design concept and quotation.
I have had the pleasure of working with various organisations and individuals to create uniquely linked personal artwork, meeting specific requirements and telling stories through contemporary art and design.
TERMS
Commissioning an artwork is an exciting and collaborative process with time invested in obtaining a thorough brief to ensure your vision is realised. I have wide-ranging experience in creating site-specific artwork for both residential and commercial spaces.
When pricing my artwork I factor in the dimensions of the work, the costs of the material to be used and the labour intercity of the techniques and processes that will be employed in creating your work.
Once a decision is made to move forward with a design a 25% deposit is required to enable us to proceed.
