Title: CEO Spotlight Stamps

This artwork features stamps depicting former CEOs Ahmed Fahour of Australia Post and Alan Joyce of Qantas. These high-profile leaders were frequently in the media, seemingly focused on promoting themselves and their public profiles.

Title : Rosie the Riveter's Retail Revolution

This artwork was inspired by my reaction to Australia Post, a government-owned entity, venturing into the retail market by selling consumable goods such as flowers, cameras, record players, and kitchen appliances. I was appalled by this shift, especially as stamp prices continued to rise, seemingly to support the government’s competition with other retailers.
In this piece, I depict various retail goods alongside price tags, featuring Rosie the Riveter on the stamps. The juxtaposition serves as a commentary on the role of the government, questioning whether it should focus on governance rather than competing in the retail sector.

Turning Passion into Profit: My Journey as an Artist and Entrepreneur

As an artist, my passion for creating beautiful pieces knows no bounds. However, the reality is that passion alone doesn't always pay the bills. Lately, I've found myself needing to focus more on generating income from my art to support myself.
In my quest to turn my passion into a sustainable source of income, I've explored various online platforms that claim to sell art. Unfortunately, many of these platforms have fallen short of expectations, and some have even done more harm than good. But that's a topic for another day.
Instead, I've been channeling my efforts into building a presence on social media and slowly developing my own website. It's been a journey of trial and error, but I'm determined to find a solution that works for me.
Recently, I've joined Ignite, a small business startup program. Through this program, I've had the pleasure of working with a talented young woman named Hawanatu. She's been instrumental in helping me navigate the business side of being an artist, from marketing strategies to financial planning.
I'm incredibly excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and grateful for the support I've received along the way. With dedication and perseverance, I believe I can turn my passion into a thriving business.
Stay tuned for updates on my journey as an artist and entrepreneur!

Today, we honor the courage and sacrifice of those who served and continue to serve our nation. Lest we forget.
