Say hello to ‘Oh, Bendigo!’ my newest mural which graces the walls of the Bendigo Bank on Mitchell Street.

Bursting with colour, Oh, Bendigo! brings together some of the places, stories and symbols that make Bendigo what it is. Familiar landmarks sit alongside the iconic tram, Chinese lion, Bendigo Blooms and layers of playful colour, pattern and mark-making.

Like much of my work, it’s about layering together the things that give it character — its history, community, creativity and a little bit of joyful chaos.

I had so much fun creating this one and seeing it come to life at such a huge scale. A big thank you to Bendigo Bank for inviting me to create something so bright and joyful for their Mitchell Street branch.

Oh, Bendigo! 💛

✨ It’s time for a beautiful new chapter!

One of our Artists within the collective has shared:

With so much gratitude, I’m sharing that June will be my last month at 18 View Street. Since 2020, it has been an absolute joy being a part of the View Street Artist Collective at . This space has helped me step fully into my ‘artist’ shoes, grow my practice, and connect with so many of you. I am so humbled by the stories and memories you’ve shared with me in my sunny studio over the years. 🎨

For the rest of the year, I’ll be stepping back to focus on my family. Thankfully, art is a lifelong journey, and this little break from the day-to-day will be a wonderful time to reflect and refill the tank of inspiration. 💛

📦 STUDIO CLEARANCE SALE 📦
To clear out the space and say a huge thank you, I’m running a farewell sale from now until June 28th:

A special thanks to Peter Valentine for creating such a wonderful artist space, his amazing staff and the crazy wonderful artists that make up the View Street Artist Collective.
