Street Art

Their personal collection comprises of some of the most recognised international and Australian street artists alongside those emerging. The couple are fervent champions of what they describe as “the sleeping giant of undoubtedly the most visible and popular art movement ever.” In response to the Summer 2019/20 bushfires they are generously donating their time to pull together almost 100 works to form an exciting stand-alone section of the auction dedicated to Street Art. I have donated two of my artworks, "Humpback Whale Tale" and "Bottlenosed Dolphin Dive" to be auctioned as a pair. They will go up for auction alongside works donated by artists including Shepard Fairey, Rone, Swoon, Anthony Lister, D*Face, Adnate, Ron English, Dabs Myla and Hush.
