“Journey of time” SOLD (Commission piece)

Hey heyy!! 🌻🐾🌱

So recently I got to do this for an amazing consultancy firm based in the Barossa valley. I was really excited to do this piece. Because it talks about community and the tradition lands. Read below about piece.

About piece: “Journey of time”

This piece is a concept that talks about the ancestral inter-connectedness of the traditional lands. But how timeless the feeling of community and coming together. This is expressed through the lands and also the deep feeling of care we have towards eachother. Through the middle is the representation of Gawler river. Which captures the details. The details express the sense of care traditional owners have to the land. But also the land holds the memories all people existing on it. The detail work on the edge of the piece captures the diversity of the people. But speaks on how through the history of Australia. There are all shades of blak and that we exist everywhere. This is my piece about the story and journey of time. Is the story the land speaks to us about. They are the caretakers of memory and hold the memory of all people living on traditional land and the changes of life passing by.

Hope you love it! Enjoying the vibrant colours but the greens that honestly hypnotise me. But understand the importance of the piece and the deep meanings it has.

“Fluidity” (FOR SALE)

Hey!!! 🌸🌻

Soo first painting of the year! Just getting back to reality from the holiday season. Happy to be back painting and in my flow. Commissions are back open so if you’d love a piece feel free to contact me. This piece is just a concept of mine and how I visually depict fluidity.

About piece: “Fluidity”

The concept of this piece is the continuity of flow between all things. But also in a spiritual matter that life moves on and life flows and is ever changing. Which we experience as people that sometimes we just flow through the changes of life but also the changes in us. I guess as a mid 20’s person. I have experienced the tumultuous changes of being in my 20’s and that it’s okay. I try to conceptualise change and put it into a fixated perspective. But each time I come to realise that it continues to change and that my perspective shifts. That I continue to experience going back to square one and re-experience myself in a different way. Which is why the term “Fluidity” resonates with me as I grow, change and evolve through life.

Hope you enjoy the flow! 🌚🌝✨
Ben.

“Home” 🏡🐍
(FOR SALE) On my website

Hey hey everyone! 🐍🧡✨

So I’ve been back to creating! I created this special piece that connects me back to my family and traditions country back in the NT. From being back up there I learnt soo much and finally got to be back where I belong. Read below about the story.

About piece: “Home”

This piece talks about my journey home and how connecting back to my traditional country meant for me. Growing up I had spent about 17 years away from my traditional country and the NT due to personal reasons. But being back up there I got to feel my mothers land and how important connection to culture, land and family means. This also talks about connecting back to my families and how we shape our Kinship, language, story telling, cultural obligations, family meaning and the importance of culture. I painted the snake because that’s my totem a Milwayi snake (Black headed python) which means a lot to me and the cultural representation it has to me. Whilst the detail work represents family, my traditional country, kinship and learning from families.

Hope you love this piece and understand the cultural importance of connection to family and your home.

Much love,
Ben. 🌸✨🫶🏾🐍🧡

“Magnetic Force”
(Commission piece)

Hey heyyy!! 🫶🏾🌸🦋

Been a hot minute since I last did a commission piece!!! As the book took over my whole world for the past year. But I’m excited to finally be back in my full creative space. Creating something new and exciting each time. But diving deeper into the philosophies of life and my connection to self and culture. With that being said read below for the full story of this piece “Magnetic”

About piece: “Magnetic Force”

“Magnetic force” talks about how we are drawn to places and people. This talks about how in life we are gravitated to these experiences for growth and change. But to live life and experience it. It’s the inevitable force that pulls us to learn and understand life and evolve as our own individual experience and person. Sometimes just surrender to it and allow yourself to live in the present moments. Those are the moments that are the most enriching chapters of our lives.

Soo excited to finally be in my space and state of flow within my creative endeavours. Hope you enjoy this piece!

Much love! Ben ✨🫶🏾

Caution! This book contains deadly reptiles

It’s soo surreal to finally have the fully printed copy of my book! Just beyond the moon to now share this with everyone on what Corey and I have produced with the support of the Allen & Unwin team. A year ago we just started off with discussions on what we’d like and now we sit here with our book. Just insane to see that I’ve now illustrated my very first book! Over the moon with this book and what it can do to educate everyone about our Australian reptiles and teaching people about mob.

“Identity” 👣
FOR SALE (Available on my website)

Hey hey!!
It’s been a while since I’ve been posting some of my art. But talking about art I’ve got two exciting pieces to share, these are some pieces I have done to experiment with detail work. This piece is about identity and explores the meaning of identity and it’s power it has. Read below for the full story!

About piece: “Identity”

These pieces are a contemporary piece that tells the story and journey of find and developing your “Identity”. Through the piece I made sure to tell the journey of finding who you really are. It dives into the aspects of finding your “identity” through the deep dark parts of you and the brighter aspects of you. Being as transparent and open to diving into all the versions of you. For me these pieces dive into my queer identity as well. Without diving into your “identity” you don’t allow yourself to be open and allow all the rush of emotions from your life experience to teach you lessons. Enduring and understanding that you are re experiencing everything over and over until you find parts of you that teach you the bigger picture. Whether that be learning or unlearning feelings of pain, happiness, sense of self determination, inter generational lessons and questions to ask “who are you?”.

I hope you enjoy this piece and dive into your “Identity”

Much love,
Ben.

Hey hey!!! 🌸🐙

It’s been a hot minute! Anyways NAIDOC exhibition are over with that I have pieces left over from my recent exhibition. So here’s one of my pieces which will be available via my website. This piece talks about our creative aura and our own way of expressing our creativity identities. Read below for the full story:

About piece:

This is a contemporary piece that reflects what I call a “Creative aura”. Everyone has a creative aura but what I feel is mainly creatives tap into this space. An aura that holds different stories, memories, journeys and styles. We all have our own unique creative aura that tells our story. It should be a reminder to never question nor compare to other creatives. Because each persons “Creative aura” tells a different story and journey.

This is a piece that I found that has really held a mirror or who I am and my creative endeavours. So I hope you truely love this piece just as much as I do.

Much love,
Ben.

“Community” 🫶🏾🌅

FOR SALE (Available via website)
Open for commissions

Hey hey everyone!

Happy June!

Well it’s been a great start to the month, with that let’s release our first piece for the month. With that being said this piece is yet a vibrant piece. I’ve been trying to tap into colour that contrast each other. Lately I’ve been inspired by fashion and the layering of fashion in clothes. So I wanted to try that by in painting style. Read more about the piece below.

About “Community”:

This is a contemporary piece I have created about community. It has been on the forefront of my mind lately. So I wanted to discuss more about it. With that I have also been inspired by fashion so I wanted to somehow bring the texture and styling of fashion in a way I can do through my techniques of painting. With the topic of this piece. I wanted to talk about the importance of community. Community is such a big topic of Indigenous peoples. Community is a key foundation to culture. Community is a way we connect, share and learn. But it also is important to creating change and movements. Change is vital we continue to adapt to the changes as a nation. But also an extension of this is the changes that can be seen with youth, climate change, culture, language and the connections we create with non-Indigenous peoples. So I wanted to reflect that community is important. How we need to work together because we all come in different colours, textures, patterns and shades. Let’s all participate within the community and drive to connect with one and another. This is perception of mine has been interpreted by my detail work, but also the jelly fish reflects the foundation of community. But that is also shows that we come in different shades. We illuminate our individuality to bring us all together.

Hope you love this piece. This one has been sentimental to myself lately. I’ve seen so many thought and feelings from creating this piece. Remember to show up and make that change within your community.

Much love,
Ben.

“Tunnel”
FOR SALE (Available on my website)
Open for commissions

Hey hey everyone!

Hope everyone is splendid and happy Friday! Finally the weekend is approaching for much needed rest. As always I release pieces on Fridays. So here is yet another piece. This piece is a personal interpretation of going through hard times and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Read below about the piece.

About piece: “Tunnel”

As previously said this piece is my interpretation of going through hard times and seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. A piece that is a personal reflection of how I see it. I believe the sunset is always tied to this. Because when I see the sunset, I see it as warm, inviting and loving. That’s the feeling I get when you see the light at the end of the tunnel. Whilst the ocean represents the motion, change, ups and downs and hard times. But also the ocean is a reflection of emotion, it holds the feelings we feel. In the details work you see all the memories of that deep emotional experience. Whilst the reflection of the sun and the sun shows the people surrounding you, almost like they are giving you a warm hug. But also all the experiences of you that supports you, as one of my friends said “Without your past obstacles you wouldn’t be the person you are today”. This message strongly resonates with me and is something I am grateful of. It reminds me of every lesson. I know many people are going through the motion, so I wanted yo reflect the collective experience.

Hope you love this piece as I hold soo much compassion for the meanings of life. It truely brings me joy and something I thrive of.

Much love,
Ben.

“Freedom of expression” ✨

Hi everyone,

Hope you are well! Happy may! What a crazy few weeks it has been. I’m excited to share a new piece “Freedom of expression” this is a colour piece talking about environments and changes. Read below for the full piece.

About piece: “Freedom of expression”

This piece is about the change I went through. Moving from Adelaide which is a conservative city. Although I love the place it is a place of black and white. To now where I have relocated north coast of NSW. A place where expression and difference is accepted. A place where there is freedom to be whatever you want it show up as. The black and grey represents Adelaide and the stagnancy of the city. With the colour representing Newcastle and a place where I can have the freedom to express myself. This is to encourage people to express yourself in a way you want to show up as. In this world we need difference it shows that we are just humans being ourselves. Granting yourself to express through different ways. So I hope this can encourage you to take that journey or be that journey to have the freedom to express yourself and enjoy the uniqueness you bring to this world.

Hope you love this piece and thank you!

Much love,
Ben. 🫶🏾✨💓

“Inner Power”
FOR SALE (Available via website)
Open for commissions

Hey hey everyone,

Happy April! Wow I’m not sure about you but man the energy of this full moon is crazy!! I’m back and excited to share a new piece I have created. This one took some time to create. Because this piece is really personal to me and about our inner power. I feel like I was embodying and learning internally about this piece. With that read below for the full story.

About piece: “Inner power”

Well this is a recent piece I created to speak about inner power and our own internal space. The piece is my physical creation of what I physically feel that inner power is and looks like. It shows strength, colour, fierceness and a path. Inner power is self determined and a path that takes a journey of finding yourself, doing inner healing, working on self care and loving all parts of your life unconditional because that is to love yourself and not the experiences. By that you find your power, your worthiness and what your deserve. Through the journey it’s believing in your layers of inner power and standing up for you. By setting the intentions of gratitude. So believe in yourself and give yourself gratitude for every experience. This doesn’t invalidate your experience and pain but proves that no matter the experience you deserve all the best. Trust your gut and the strength of your inner power.

Through this piece I have created an abstract design of a star fish to show its strategy but also vulnerability. With the blues to shows the calming feelings, and the layers of different colours to represent the depth of our inner power and journeys of it. With the stream/path through the middle and the details of life through the stream. I wanted to use both fierce and calming colours whilst complimenting it with vibrant colours through the middle. But I believe it shows inner power through my colour lenses.

Much love and I hope you can find this inspiring and motivating.

Love,
Ben.

“Dividing 20’s” (Prints)
Now available via website link is in bio!

Hey hey everyone!

Wow mad March is over with soo much happening this month it was sure an eventful month. Before we unfortunately head into winter. With that being said I created a piece a few weeks ago. This piece I loved soo much as well as you all. So I decided I really wanted a print of. So here is the official release of the print!!!

Prints will be available via website, if you have enquires dm me!

About piece: “Dividing 20s”

This is a vibrant piece that I have created to encapsulate the experiences of being in your 20s. Being in your 20s is one of the most tumultuous years of your life. A time where life has its curveballs and hurdles to get us to grow. A period that is both isolating and freeing! In this you’ll see both two turtles and a whale. These show the change and growth from starting the journey as a turtle changing and learning as you progress to a whale and to end the 20s being you in your most authentic form. I also wanted to portray the divisiveness with one side being blue and the other pink and the path through the middle. You’ll see both symbol work and detail work to showcase the changes, the detail of every moment. Then through the path you’ll see different details of circles these reflect the journey, the memory and the core of every changing period of your 20s. This period is where life makes you be you and prepares you for the future. I know the 20s can be soo hard and thrilling it changes you soo many times and shows you how to be shameless in your body and self worth. But to have this optimism for the future.

This piece was once again an inspiring piece of mine and I hope that some of you can have the prints of it!!!

Much love,
Ben.

“Dividing 20’s” (Prints)
Now available via website link is in bio!

Hey hey everyone!

Wow mad March is over with soo much happening this month it was sure an eventful month. Before we unfortunately head into winter. With that being said I created a piece a few weeks ago. This piece I loved soo much as well as you all. So I decided I really wanted a print of. So here is the official release of the print!!!

Prints will be available via website, if you have enquires dm me!

About piece: “Dividing 20s”

This is a vibrant piece that I have created to encapsulate the experiences of being in your 20s. Being in your 20s is one of the most tumultuous years of your life. A time where life has its curveballs and hurdles to get us to grow. A period that is both isolating and freeing! In this you’ll see both two turtles and a whale. These show the change and growth from starting the journey as a turtle changing and learning as you progress to a whale and to end the 20s being you in your most authentic form. I also wanted to portray the divisiveness with one side being blue and the other pink and the path through the middle. You’ll see both symbol work and detail work to showcase the changes, the detail of every moment. Then through the path you’ll see different details of circles these reflect the journey, the memory and the core of every changing period of your 20s. This period is where life makes you be you and prepares you for the future. I know the 20s can be soo hard and thrilling it changes you soo many times and shows you how to be shameless in your body and self worth. But to have this optimism for the future.

This piece was once again an inspiring piece of mine and I hope that some of you can have the prints of it!!!

Much love,
Ben.

FOR SALE (Available via website)

Hey heyyy everyone!!

It’s a Friday!!! You know what happens on Friday’s is I like to release a new piece. As previously said this piece encapsulates and reflections on the rainbow community. It is a vibrant contemporary piece that talks about how we are everywhere and will never go away, we will always be here in all spaces. Read below for the full story.

“Rainbow everywhere”

This is a vibrant contemporary piece using every colour of the rainbow. I wanted to create something that’s vibrant and contemporary but continuing using symbol work. This is a reflection of what’s happened over the last month being pride month and world pride in Sydney. But also the years of hardship and standing up for the community. With that is caused change and many tumultuous times. I wanted to talk about how we the rainbow community or known as the LGBTQIA+ community. We are everywhere, there has been many times we’re we are erased in spaces but times are changing. We are being our true authentic self and colours. It shows our strength and determination through all times and through history. So remember the rainbow people we are everywhere, we are painting colour in all spaces and loving unconditional.

Hope you love this piece and the story. It is soo sentimental to me as I resonate to the experience of being in the LGBTQIA+ community as a blak queer folk.

Much love,
Ben.

Hey everyone!!

It is Pisces season! My favourite season of the year, because it’s my birthday season!! It is crazy we are in mad March and it really has been crazy! With that being said here’s a latest piece I have done.

This piece is my interpretation of the recent last few weeks we have had. Being both pride month and world pride in Sydney. I never got to go however, just seeing how colourful and welcoming the spaces were it was great to see. This piece allowed me to reflect on the community but also showcase the community more. It encapsulates how we are never going anywhere nor do we intend to shy away. We are the rainbow and we are everywhere. You’ll see parts of us reflected in the community and spaces wherever you are. Full story coming soon.

I’ll include a full story tomorrow so stick around. Hope you love this vibrant piece and a piece of myself reflected in this art.

Much love,
Ben.
