Creating Art From Conversation

Aboriginal Artwork

Corporate & Reconciliation Action Plan Commissions

Jeremy creates artwork for organisations to support their company journey, Reconciliation Action Plans (RAP), and help to continue conversions about our rich cultural history. Jeremy’s process is highly collaborative, taking inspiration from conversations with team members, understanding the company’s history, future plans and vision. He blends this insight with his own personal experiences and heritage to breathe life into the artwork. Each piece is infused with a unique blend of Aboriginal artistic expression and corporate identity.

Whether creating large-scale installations for office spaces, designing custom artwork for company events, or crafting pieces that reflect the essence of a brand, Jeremy is passionate about using his artwork to continue engagement about reconciliation, respect and acknowledgement of our Indigenous cultures and history.
