Photography is another way I tell stories. Through the lens, I focus on capturing the essence of a moment — and quite often, that essence is found in something simple and authentic, like a genuine smile. For me, photography is not about staging perfection, but about conveying mood, feeling, and the small details that make each moment distinct.
My approach is grounded in clarity and intention:
I enjoy creating portraits that feel natural, balanced, and well composed, as well as documenting events in a way that is honest, engaging, and true to the atmosphere of the moment. Whether photographing a performance, an event, or an individual, my focus remains consistent — imagery that communicates clearly and carries emotional weight.
Photography sits naturally alongside my work as an artist and designer, sharing the same principles of observation, composition, and storytelling.
Spring Gives Us Hope was a fundraising exhibition by True Blue & a Little Bit of Yellow, held at Mona Vale Pop-Up Gallery on Sydney’s Northern Beaches from 17–28 October 2022. Unstoppable in our commitment, we continued to paint, exhibit, and raise funds to support those in need, using art as a way to respond, connect, and help. The exhibition was filled with colour and optimism — flowers, birds, and vibrant palettes came together to reflect renewal, resilience, and the emotional lift that spring brings. It was an uplifting visual response during a difficult time, offering light and hope through art. We are deeply grateful to everyone who visited, supported the exhibition, and purchased artworks. Your generosity made a real difference. Knowing that, once again, art could help support the people of Ukraine is something that continues to warm our hearts.
Colours of Freedom was a group exhibition by True Blue & a Little Bit of Yellow, created to honour Ukrainian Independence Day on 24 August. The exhibition brought together Ukrainian artists living in Australia around a simple but powerful challenge: to create works using only two colours — blue and yellow. Within this limitation, each artist found their own voice. The palette became a shared language, symbolising freedom, hope, and the ongoing journey of Ukraine’s independence. Despite the restraint, the exhibition was rich in emotion, interpretation, and strength, reflecting resilience through colour alone. The exhibition was generously supported by the Balmain Association and the Ukrainian Council of NSW, and was presented across two locations: Balmain Watch House Gallery from 11–13 August 2023, and Woollahra Redleaf Gallery from 23–25 August 2023. Colours of Freedom stood as a reminder that even with the simplest means, art can speak clearly, carry meaning, and bring people together in solidarity.
