In this project, I worked with the Brisbane Sustainability Agency to produce 30 gouache colour illustrations which became part of interpretive signage for the newly opened Archerfield Wetlands. This wetlands is part of the larger The Oxley Creek Transformation project. It is a lovely walk around the wetlands with so many birds to see. In a few hours walking the trail we saw nearly every bird that I had illustrated and a few extra.

| My latest bronze sculpture has been installed at Shaftesbury Park, Tarragindi. The brief was to make a discovery element for a newly constructed scooter park for Brisbane City Council by Naturform Landscape designers. I thought it would be fun if a bike helmet had been left at the park and had been taken over by a cheeky young native water dragon. Thanks yet again to Chalkoz Art Foundry for their expertise in casting my final sculpture in bronze. |
More signage has been installed by the Fraser Coast Council in the Takura Reserve, Hervey Bay. I was commissioned by the council to make over 100 illustrations of flora and fauna and social history to be used in signage around this and other reserves. Such a joy to be involved in this worthwhile project that seeks to inform and educate about our unique environments.
a lovely evening at the Sunset Session – in conversation with Sarah Wallace, curator of my exhibition as we discussed this body of work while folk browsed through my sketchbooks and asked questions.
The Common Park scooter track is located at 88a Cambridge Drive, Coorparoo. The park includes a playground, skate park, and the Norman Creek Bikeway, as well as additional recreational features that provide a hub of active opportunities for park users.
I’m grateful to the Brisbane City Council for including bronze sculptures as part of the creative enhancement of these shared spaces
The 32 illustrations I did for the Fraser Coast Council for the Arkarra Wetlands have been installed. This is an ongoing project with other reserves being upgraded by council to engage communities in an informed and coherant visual language. I’m very excited to be a small part of that.

Brisbane City Council commissioned me to make ‘discovery’ elements for an interactive playground at Gus Davies Park, Bald Hills. Built by the Landscape Construction Company, this park upgrade has created a wonderful imaginative playground with bikeways and different zones to explore. Turtle, frog and gecko were sculpted in the studio and cast by Chalkos Art Foundry. We hope to engage children on the micro level and alert them to the creatures that share our natural environments.
