Painting a wedding gift mural for my beautiful friends with my beautiful friends. This was the first time I’d painted a mural with a group of people and it was such a fun day with my loved ones. When I tell you we smashed this out…. 3.5 hours flat (if anyone knows of any speed mural competitions let us know haha) For my Brisbane friends - let me know if you spot this one 👀 Special thank you to everyone who painted and for helping with the special details ❣️

Aura - My latest collection all together for Big Smart, curated by cuz showing at until the 8th of June.

A new little series of my work that I painted over the last few months - I’ve been really struggling with my mental health this year and painting and engaging back in creative practice through my art and work that I do has definitely helped to soften the sharp edges of what I’ve been going through. These pieces feel like a reminder that place and spirit and connection will always exist even when I’m feeling disembodied and untethered. And that this is just a moment in time❣️

The starts of a new series of mine. Pulling from a therapeutic arts practice I developed that plays with body scan and visualisation practices that are expressed in art form. I’ve committed to doing 1 a day and hope to exhibit these later in the year. ❣️

INVASION DAY RALLY MELBOURNE/NAARM

Date: Sunday 26 January 2025
When: 10 am sharp
Where: Parliament House, Melbourne/Naarm on Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung Lands

Grab your mob, clapsticks, water, snacks and sunscreen and meet us on the steps of Parliament for a 10am sharp Invasion Day rally - WARs 10th year of organising Invasion Day rallies here in Naarm.

Join us to walk from the steps of Parliament House down Bourke along Swanston St to Fed Square.

The January 26, 1938, Day of Mourning silent protest, held 87 years ago, stands as one of the earliest organised acts of Indigenous resistance. This has never been a date to celebrate. The fight against settler colonialism, escalating race/ class divisions, climate injustice, and inaction are being felt here and across the globe and demand our collective efforts.

Allies, now is the time to show up, if you haven’t already.

Be sunsmart, it’s going to be warm, and COVID-safe by wearing a mask and staying home if you’re unwell. Auslan interpreter available for accessibility.

Calling for expressions of interest for community consultation for a new and exciting development. 🖤

Arkie the Label started out as a fashion brand off the back of my graduate degree and some of you may know that outside of my arts practice I have studied and then worked as a designer and creative director in commercial fashion for over 10 years. Fashion has always been something that lights me up, but at the end of last year I made my exit after insane burnout and feeling like my values and the absolute beast of the industry was not matching up. I’ve taken this year out to pivot to working in heath promotion with community (🥲🥹♥️) and really think about what I want to do and whether I want to reenter into fashion and if the world needs another fashion brand.

Whilst I don’t think we need another fast fashion brand or a start up masquerading as ethical and inclusive I do feel there’s a gap for considered clothing that is for every body. I really want to make sure that this brand encompasses everything that the community wants and needs, and is important to you. I don’t believe that there isn’t a better way to produce and access clothing and if that means starting small, offering preorder so there are no size limitations or exploring new ways of working then I’m fu***ng downn with it.

I’m looking to consult 10 people - there’ll be food provided for us to share while we yap. The brand direction is aligned with my personal style (Think sexy, special, club, festival, event, femme) and creative style (artistic prints, embellishment, an extension of my creative practice) and will encompass apparel and swimwear. If you’re available on the 12th of December 6-9pm and interested please fill out the form in the bio. Melbourne based and kindly hosted by the one and only 🫰🏽🖤 Big things coming lol

Something recent 🩵🌀 Been picking up my digital paint brush a little more lately and focusing on creating art for the joy of it all rather than the outcome.

Have honestly painted so much that will never see the light of day but did make me feel good while creating it haha. I’ve got some new pieces I’ve been working on and I’m thinking it might be time for a new print drop before the Christmas season 👀 lmk if I should… hehe✨
