SKATEBOARDS

My first passion was drawing and creating art - and then came the skateboarding! For me the physical part of skateboarding is an art form - using movement and expression of self to bring the feeling of freedom.

I was influenced by the graphics on the boards. To me skateboards with graphics reflected the professional. As a teenager I idolised these professionals and I always loved the idea of combining my own graphic art with skateboarding. I knew I could personalise skateboards by applying my own designs.

In the early 2000’s I made a collection for an art exhibition. It was the first skateboard exhibition (2004-2008) in the Southern Hemisphere. It went on tour around Queensland to over 50 galleries. This showcased that any media can be used to share artwork (and skateboarding) with the world!
