Textile & Clothing Decoration — Wearable Statements. Working with textiles and clothing gives me a sense of freedom that few other mediums offer. It opens up the possibility to create one-of-a-kind pieces — garments that carry individuality, intention, and personality. Through colour, pattern, and detail, clothing becomes a way to shape an individual style, highlight accents, and, just as importantly, draw attention away from areas you’d rather keep understated.
Individually decorated clothes are statements. They speak about who you are — your boldness or softness, your playfulness or restraint, and what truly matters to you. A painted jacket, dress, or pair of jeans can express confidence, curiosity, or a quiet sense of joy without saying a word.
I create textile and clothing designs using high-quality acrylic paints that are washable, durable, and resistant to sunlight, allowing the artwork to be worn and enjoyed over time. Decoration can also be practical: a favourite jacket with an unremovable stain can be transformed into something even more loved.
Bring me your old dress, jacket, or jeans, and we can make it new again. One of my clients spent his entire working life in neutral, formal suits. After retiring, he discovered the pleasure of colour — and his decorated jeans became a joyful declaration: I am ready for all the colours of the world.
If you’re looking for a statement piece in your wardrobe — or a creative way to reimagine something you already own — I’d love to help you create it.
Art & Style magazine has featured a page about my exhibition, Echoes of the Bush. I can’t express how grateful I am to everyone who has supported my journey. Thank you, Wayne. Thank you, Northern Beaches Gallery. Thank you to the Art & Style magazine team. Thank you, Danielle and Doug. The magazine is filled with incredible artists and inspiring stories, so it’s a true honour to be included among them. Thank you all for believing in my art.
Over the past months, I’ve been honoured to be selected as a finalist in several exhibitions across Australia. Being part of the evolving art mosaic in Sydney and beyond is something I truly value. In October, my work was shown at Gallery 11:11, followed by Bridges to Belonging in Adelaide in November — an exhibition that explored connection, identity, and shared stories. December brought another exciting milestone: I was delighted to be a finalist in the 40 by 40 Exhibition at Newcastle Art Space 🎉 This exhibition celebrates over forty years of a vibrant creative community and showcases artworks measuring 40 × 40 cm — a reminder that great art can come in small packages. The exhibition ran in early December 2025. Also in December, I was selected to participate in The Summer Prize Exhibition at Northern Beaches Gallery, an exhibition absolutely worth visiting with many outstanding works on display. Among them was my painting Jingymia mallee — Eucalyptus synandra, shown in late December. Another memorable moment from this period was seeing one of my artworks sold at auction directly from the concert stage — a powerful reminder of how art can live and breathe beyond gallery walls. Currently, my work Nocturne for Large-Fruited Mallee is on display at:
