🔘 NEW OPTIONS
Choose how your artwork arrives!
I've just added some new options to my online shop to make things easier for you! I know not everyone has the time to take their new artwork to the framers, so we can do it for you!
You can now choose from 3 different options when buying an original painting from my website:
• Unstretched - artwork arrives rolled in a postage tube, ready to be stretched or framed locally when you're ready.
• Stretched - canvas is professionally stretched onto a wooden backing, complete with hooks and ready to hang.
• Framed - includes a full custom frame in your choice of finish, delivered ready to go straight on the wall.
Whether you're moving house, buying a gift, or just want it ready for the wall as soon as it arrives. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Check out the new options! 👇🏿

🌈 Blak, gay and proud.
It took me a long time to say those words out loud!
Being a gay Aboriginal man in this country hasn’t always been easy but it’s made me strong, it’s made me creative and it’s made me care deeply about representation, truth and love.
June is a special month for me because it commemorates the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots which were protests led by LGBT people, particularly trans women of colour, who stood up against police violence and discrimination in 1969. It sparked a global movement for gay rights and change, even inspiring Sydney's first Mardi Gras despite intense police brutality against our own community here in Australia.
I am so grateful to all those brave people who fought for us to have the freedom to be who we are today.
Happy Pride Month to all my LGBT family, especially the ones still figuring it all out.
You are not alone.

🟠 Feeling full circle today.
Ku Arts featured me in their artist spotlight for Reconciliation Week and it means so much because they were the very first mob to take a chance on me when I was just starting out.
Back in the 2023 when I had just opened my art business, I was accepted into their professional development program designed for committed artists to support career development and extend their practice. I got to travel to Darwin with 8 other incredibly talented artists to explore the art industry during the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair.
That experience opened doors for all of us, gave us confidence and helped kickstart this wild journey I’m now on. Each artist I shared this experience with have grown exponentially and worked on amazing opportunities in different industries all over the world from international fashion runways to breathtaking outdoor installations.
This is a really special moment for me and big thanks to the team at Ku Arts for always supporting culture, community and emerging artists.

✊🏿 STILL HERE.
National Sorry Day is a time to remember the Stolen Generations, the thousands of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were taken from their families, their culture and their Country. Those forced removals have caused unimaginable intergenerational trauma that still impacts us today.
Babies were still being taken until the late 1970's which means a lot of my Elders are part the Stolen Generations. Their strength and stories are something I carry with me every single day and it’s a big part of why I will never stop painting Aboriginal art.
Sorry means nothing without truth, accountability and real change. To learn more the Stolen Generations please go to: aiatsis.gov.au/explore/stolen-generations

⭕️ Digital love!
I'm working on this new digital artwork for TAFE SA to be printed and installed as a massive 12 metre mural!
Even though it’s digital, the process is just as personal as painting. I still spend hours carefully hand-drawing every dot, every layer and every symbol, the only difference is I get to sit down 😅
It also makes it easier for organisations to fit and print the designs BIG to share culture in public spaces in a powerful way.
Stay tuned to see how it all comes together.

TRAMS ☑️
Too deadly, so proud.
My art's gone from cars and trucks to a full tram carriage! What's next? 😉
This bold wrap started as an original painting for the SA Infrastructure and Transport offices. Now it’s a rolling story of connection and movement, thousands of dots and journey lines weaving from the city to the beach every day.
Who's seen this bright orange and blue beauty? I need to go for a ride!

SURPRISE! 🚊✨
My art has jumped off the canvas and onto a tram in Adelaide for National Reconciliation Week!
In 2024, SA Infrastructure and Transport's Aboriginal Strategy team searched for three South Australian Aboriginal artists to design new artwork for their Reconciliation Action Plans.
Jaylene Ware, Violet Buckskin and I were selected from a pool of more than 50 incredible Aboriginal Artists and we brought their ‘Build. Move. Connect.’ tagline to life through each of our unique skills and rich storytelling styles.
These yadu stories are now cruising through the city everyday and I couldn't be more proud!

😍 LOOK OUT!
I always get told about kids doing school projects on my art, but this is the first time I’ve actually seen one and it almost made me cry! Deadly work to the student & teachers who put this together, you’ve made my week!

"This is amazing!! You have done an incredible job, we all love it!! 😃"
Red Country | 65cm x 40cm | Acrylic on unstretched canvas
Commissioned to honour Geoff Whitbread and his commitment to Roxby Downs through nine years of service, this artwork celebrates Geoff’s incredible dedication to keeping Roxby Downs strong and sustainable, helping it grow into one of Australia's most highly regarded mining towns.
Earthy tones and bright reds reflect the distinctive colours of Kokatha Country while Sturt Desert Peas and Guldas (Sleepy Lizards) thrive amongst the landscape - some of Geoff's favourite local icons.
