In this artist talk I will give an insight into my creative practice and how I went from being a quiet country boy drawing in my notebook to being a full-time self employed artist, designer & maker.

I will touch on embracing my queer identity and incorporated sustainable practices into my personal and client projects. Giving tips and insight into how I have navigated working in both regional and metro areas and connecting with various communities.

Key points discussed will include:

• Inspirations and how it has shaped my work

• Career progression from hobbyist to working part-time and going full-time freelance

• Projects I’ve worked on and how they have led to more opportunities

• Embracing sustainability and how it has impacted my work
