Adelaide School Mural Artist
I am on a mission to shift people's energy by painting really colourful works of art.
I know what it's like to be in a space and think, blergh.
I know you do too. How about, in those spaces, you felt inspired? Courageous? Bold? Engaged? Creative?
Yeah. That's more like it.
I am not here to paint like everyone else. I am not here to follow a trend. I am here to be unapologetically me, and feel the best I possibly can. And I want that for you too.
I want human beings to feel like their most authentic selves, to spark some joy in their lives, and perhaps inspire a little version of me to go after her dreams. I create works of art on walls, floors, doors and canvas. I have transformed over 20 schools across Australia, I've injected energy into yoga studios, I've created that special piece of art for above countless beds, couches, and dining tables. I say yes to private clients, public opportunities, and have a dream to expand what I do worldwide. Because as cliched as it sounds, the world really could just use a bit more TLC and some energy shifting colour explosions. Oh, and I want to be an example of what is possible, when you lean in and do the brave thing- and do what lights you on fire, no matter what anyone else thinks about it.
If you want a beige living room, I am not for you.
If you want your paintings to be realistic and nature toned, there's probably someone else out there dying to meet you.
If you want your school to feel professional and corporate, definitely feel free to shuffle along.
If you want to enter a space and stop in your tracks - I got you.
If you want to feel safe, seen, inspired and excited in your home? Please tell me. I can work magic.
If you want to create a school environment where wellbeing is embedded in the core; where students feel excited, encouraged, adventurous and creative- I want to speak to you.
Favourite Mural Projects
Gen + Tonic is a business that was born from me realising it was my job to make myself feel better. And in the process, I realised I can do that for others too, when they need that extra boost. What started as a punny name, turned out to hit the nail on the head. Gen is the human, Tonic is the art.
Gen and Tonic doesn't focus on creating just one thing - but at the moment, painting murals is giving me absolute life. Witnessing the energetic shift that my hands, some paint, and some brushes can make to a once lifeless space blows my mind. I see the impact being a living artist, earning her own money, painting what makes her feel good has on little (and not so little) students in schools. Not only am I here to inject colour, inspiration, hope, courage and delight into humans big and small, but I am here to be an example of what is possible.
