Final pieces. 🥹

I’ve been feeling a little under the weather lately, but looking at these pieces spark joy 🥹 Creating has a way of bringing light and life back!

These are some of the final pieces before something new begins. 🤍

Final pieces. 🤍

Making room for something new. Once these beauties are gone, they won’t be coming back… and I can’t wait to show you what’s next

🥹🥹 It’s a little bittersweet watching my earrings find their forever homes because each design started as an idea, a blank canvas, and a moment of creative inspiration. Every piece has been made by hand, carrying its own unique patterns, colours, and character.

As these last pieces make their way out into the world, it also means something exciting is just around the corner. A brand-new collection is on its way, with fresh designs, new creative energy, and plenty of surprises that I can’t wait to share with you.

If you’ve had your eye on something from my current collection, now’s the time. Once these pieces are gone, they’re gone for good.

I’m honestly obsessed with these trinket trays. 🤍

I really enjoy seeing the final result—because I never go in with a rigid plan. I simply choose a small palette of colours, let go of expectations, and just let the creative energy flow.

Every tray ends up with its own personality, and that’s what I love most. No two pieces are ever the same, and I think there’s something really special about creating from intuition instead of perfection.

It’s a little reminder that sometimes the best things happen when you trust the process… and trust yourself 🫶🏾🤎

I was incredibly fortunate to attend the NAIDOC celebration at Meridan State College, where we came together to celebrate our young people, our Country, our culture, and 50 years of NAIDOC.

Days like this remind me how lucky I am to belong to such a strong and supportive community. Watching our young people embrace their culture, connect with one another, and celebrate who they are fills me with so much hope for the future.

Being able to give back to my community is something I never take for granted. If I can encourage even one young person to keep going, believe in themselves, and continue working towards their dreams and goals, then I know I’m making a difference.

Our young people are our future. They carry the strength, resilience, and stories of those who came before them, and I can’t wait to see all they will achieve. Today was a beautiful reminder of the importance of celebrating our culture, lifting each other up, and creating spaces where our next generation can thrive.

What a privilege it is to celebrate 50 years of NAIDOC alongside such an incredible community. 🤍 Thank you Leesa for the invitation. Thank you Darren Smith BridgetteChilli Hazelle Mace

Finding Beauty in the Everyday

Lately, I’ve found myself slowing down.

Not because life has become less busy—it hasn’t—but because creating has reminded me that beauty lives in the little moments. These new trinket trays have become more than just another product in my collection. They’ve become a gentle reminder that even the smallest corners of our homes deserve a little joy.

I love imagining where they’ll end up. Resting on a bedside table, holding the earrings someone wears every day. Sitting by the front door with a set of keys after a long day. On a desk, collecting tiny treasures while adding a pop of colour to a workspace. They’re simple pieces, but they’re made to be part of everyday life.

As an artist, that’s something really important to me.

Art doesn’t always have to hang on a wall. Sometimes it can be something you reach for every morning, something that quietly brightens your routine, or something that makes you smile as you walk past.

Each tray is painted by hand, one dot at a time. There’s something incredibly calming about that process. It asks me to slow down, to be present, and to trust that every tiny detail contributes to something bigger. In many ways, it reflects life itself.

When I create, the outside world becomes quieter. My mind settles, my heart feels lighter, and I get to pour a little piece of myself into every design. Knowing these pieces will become part of someone else’s home makes that process even more meaningful.

I hope when someone takes one of these trays home, they don’t just see a functional piece. I hope they see the care, the storytelling, and the intention behind every dot. I hope it encourages them to pause, appreciate the little things, and find beauty in the everyday—because sometimes, that’s where the most meaningful moments are found.

There’s something so special about creating pieces that become part of your everyday.

Lately, I’ve found so much joy in making these little trinket trays. They’re a reminder that beauty doesn’t have to be saved for special occasions—it can live in the small moments too. Holding your favourite jewellery, your keys after a long day, or the little treasures that make a house feel like home.

Finding joy in the everyday, one handcrafted piece at a time 💙✨

There are moments in life that remind you success isn’t always measured by a trophy.

Being nominated for a Blak Excellence Award in the Creative Artist category is something I’ll carry with me for a long time. While I didn’t take home the award, being recognised alongside so many talented and inspiring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander creatives is something I’ll treasure for a long time. To simply be considered was a reminder that every late night, every market, every painted piece, and every story shared through my art is making an impact.

Tonight, I had the privilege of celebrating alongside my mum and my partner, Keni. Success is never achieved alone, and I’m so grateful to have people beside me who believe in me, even when I doubt myself. Behind every small business, every creative idea, and every dream is a village of people who believe in you, and I’m so thankful for mine.

This year’s celebration also marked 50 years of NAIDOC nationally and 25 years of NAIDOC on the Sunshine Coast. To stand in a room filled with so many inspiring First Nations people—artists, leaders, Elders, businesses, and community members—was incredibly humbling. Our culture has endured, adapted, and continued to thrive through generations. Nights like tonight are a beautiful reminder of the strength, resilience, and brilliance of our mob.

I left the evening feeling incredibly proud of my mob. Proud of our resilience, our creativity, our strength, and the way our culture continues to thrive despite everything we’ve overcome. Our stories are still being told, our languages are still being spoken, and our art continues to connect people in ways words sometimes can’t.

Congratulations to all of the finalists and winners—you are so deserving, and your work continues to inspire our community.

Tonight reminded me that I’m exactly where I’m meant to be, and I’m so proud to be walking this journey while celebrating the oldest living culture in the world.

What a privilege it is to be part of something so much bigger than myself. 🤍

Markets are my favourite place to be. 🤍
Creating, connecting, sharing stories, and watching each piece find the person it was made for. 🤎
