Super excited to announce that I have just been accepted for a one month artist residency at the prestigious KALA Art Institute, USA. For the whole month of February 2020, I’ll be printing up a storm from their Berkeley studios.

Artist Garry Trinh and I were commissioned to develop new work at The Poster Centre. Trinh is an established Australian artist who makes art about the uncanny, unexpected and spontaneous moments in daily life.
We created a series of posters in response to our experiences negotiating the complex, (& often super confusing), world of social media.
These works are now in the permeant collection at the Leo Kelly Blacktown Arts Centre - a Western Sydney museum, on Darug Country.
