Adelaide has been home for 10 years and it’s time to take a huge, scary leap and pack the boxes. I can’t write this without tears, because I love Adelaide, I love my community and I love what I’ve been able to build here as an artist.
I honestly can’t believe the generosity and support I've received from everyone here in Adelaide over the years. I've been able to build my dream job with so much variety and creativity. Thank you for your support, you've made this possible!
Here are some of the incredible projects I've been able to be part of:
Aerosol workshops.
Ceramic workshops.
Exhibitions, solo and group shows.
Running teacher professional development days.
Painting walls, so many walls!
Mentorship opportunities.
Mentoring other artists.
Working as a gallery installer at Newmarch Gallery.
Brand collaborations.
Artist in residence programs in schools.
Loads of events with councils.
Thank you for hiring me and recommending me over the years. Adelaide, you have been so kind to me. This city has inspired me and transformed me into an artist. Before moving here, I'd never called myself an artist. I'd never exhibited my work. I'd never even thought it was possible to make a living from my creativity. And I definitely never thought I could be a street artist.
For the last 3 years, I’ve been blessed with constant full-time work in Adelaide and the magic of word-of-mouth recommendations. And I’m going to be going back to square one.
I need your help.
I’m going to Geelong with a portfolio of experience I am so very proud of. However, I’m also giving up a lot and taking a huge business risk.
If you know someone in Victoria who’s looking for an artist to paint a wall, run a ceramic or aerosol workshop, install exhibitions, or an ideal school to work with, please send them my way.
South Australia, you are home. I am going to miss living here, the people, lifestyle and weather are really hard to leave. I will continue to return for projects and events as much as possible.
This is not goodbye, but see you soon Adelaide. My husband, Aiden Grant, has been offered a job at 96three radio station. I'm so proud of the career journey he's taken. This is a great opportunity for him and what I believe is best for our family.
We are moving in July 2024.
