I’m a high-energy person, at my best when busy and productive. Highly imaginative and a strong visualiser. After years of hearing on-set stories from friends and family, I am looking for a move into the industry.

I have 40 years experience as a graphic designer, illustrator, painter, exhibitor and 15 years facilitating art workshops for adults, children, teenagers.

Open to roles that I can bring my visual arts skills,  art assist, props assist, standby painter, scenic artist, set painter …

also having been an art teacher with my blue card and some experience with neuro divergent, would welcome any chaperone / child wrangling opportunities.

Can work locally on the Gold Coast, for long stints, or dailies, depending on what I can assist you with.

I’m practical, task-oriented and like to problem-solve and work well in a team – happy to follow orders –  or independently, depending on what the job requires. Known for being warm and friendly, I enjoy the company of all types of people and am particularly good with children and teenagers.

I fell for film at a random opportunity, a few weeks working as a brush hand for a friend plastering cell walls and prison corridors, balancing on tip toes on 8-ft ladders, rinsing out putrid buckets of stale paint, meeting the most off-kilter and amazing minds and being given the space and trust to just LEARN. I was hooked. I still am.

I’ve explored the Greens Department which fit like a glove and worked my way up to HOD, delved into Swing Gang, Lead Person, Buyer/Dresser my favourite role as On Set Dresser in Set Dec. I’m in love.

In the sage words of Talking Heads… This Must Be The Place.

Location wise, I am currently in Adelaide and in process of moving up to Qld. I am absolutely willing to work as a local until everything is finalised.
