Throughout my creative career, I’ve worked across a wide range of projects, from large-scale murals and brand collaborations to hundreds of original paintings, custom commissions, and corporate work. But I’m not just an artist. I’m also an advocate and arts worker, supporting other First Nations creatives across the country. This includes working closely with local Indigenous community art centres and collaborating with grassroots collectives & spaces where my heart truly lies and the kind of work I’m most passionate about continuing.
I’ll be honest: not every collaboration has been smooth. Some have placed me in culturally unsafe environments, others have left my process misunderstood or my work mishandled. These experiences have taught me a lot, especially the importance of values-led practice, clear communication, and deep cultural respect in any creative exchange.
Below are some images of work I’ve previously done. Some good, some not so good. I’ll leave you to decide. :)
