What influences your work and what sparks your creativity?

Traveling and exploring influences my work. I love traveling to new locations, looking at maps, and then getting distracted and lost by wandering off track. I have always had a fascination with maps and architecture and love learning about the architecture of cities I visit. I’m an early bird (pun intended) and love getting up to watch the sunrise wherever I am and observe the colours change around me. I also find the transit time of traveling doing nothing sparks my creativity as it gives me time to daydream. 

How do you select art for your home? What qualities do you look out for? 

As art is a form of expression I think it’s important to listen to your gut when choosing art and if unsure sleep on it.

Compared to styling a house ready for a market where you need to simplify spaces and consider other people’s opinions, styling your home should be individual and a chance to create spaces you want to live in. You may want to consider the moods of certain rooms such as creating a space of relaxation in bedrooms with softer arrangements and energising spaces in the living areas with bolder arrangements. As art is a form of expression I think it’s important to listen to your gut when choosing art and if unsure sleep on it. Creating gallery walls can be a great way to fill larger walls and mix together bolder and simpler designs together.

Introducing Paper Hands

What influences your work and what sparks your creativity? 

I’m very inspired by the natural world and the power of regeneration – So exploring new ways to communicate this hope and inspiration for people in colourful visual stories always ignites a new spark of love for what I do.  

How do you select art for your home? What qualities do you look out for?

I always like to start with the mood I want my space to have – often that is an inspiring and happy feeling. So colours like pastels and lighter tones are always a vibe for me and usually the first thing I look for in an artwork. Otherwise, I like to stay pretty untamed with ‘Art Styles’ and keep my mind open to new stories and themes. It often can be easier to look for art too.

.. So colours like pastels and lighter tones are always a vibe for me and usually the first thing I look for in an artwork.

In the end, the process of choosing art will always be a bit different for every individual but just remember it’s a fun way of popping your personality and cool vibes on a wall, so keep this at the forefront and you’ll have a lot of fun with it.

Introducing Numbulwar Numburindi Arts

Built on Self-determination, Numbulwar Numburindi Arts is a collective of artists whose mission is to keep culture strong. The beautiful Wulbung (Basket) feature was made by Artist, Florence Murrungun.

Established in 2019, Numbulwar’s first art centre is 100 per cent owned and controlled by the community. Born from the community’s desire to practice and engage with traditional culture, NNA is a space for artistic and cultural expression. Champions of fibre art, NNA artists marry naturally-dyed and locally-harvested pandanus with bright and bold ghost nets, abandoned fishing line retrieved from Numbulwar’s shoreline. Their Wulbung (baskets) and Yir (dillybags) fit as naturally in traditional applications as they do in contemporary, urban environments. Numbulwar sits on the Rose River and belongs to the Nunggayinbala clan, one of the Wubuy or Nunggubuyu speaking clans from the region. Ceremonial activities are still very important within the region and occur regularly.
