On Country in Gembrook for two weeks! Teaching culture and art for year 7 camp! 🖤💛❤️

Beautiful day on Friday out in Kalkallo! Last year I had the opportunity to create two logos for two brand new schools opening this year - Ngayuk (White Cockatoo) College and Marra (Community) School! Along with the logos, I created way finding and artworks related to our seven seasons. Here’s some photos from the day!

🎉🎉 IT'S OFFICIAL 🎉🎉

As of today, Connecting Two Worlds has officially rebranded to Muyan Story! This change has been a long time in the making, and I’m beyond excited to finally share it. I’ve been quietly building something special behind the scenes throughout 2025, and in 2026 I’ll be expanding the business—same vibes, same values, just more room to grow.

✨✨ Follow along as I step into this next chapter and share the 2026 journey. Happy New Year! ✨✨

Just launched my first exhibition today! So grateful for the opportunity to showcase my art and try bew styles and mediums! If you’re interested in coming to have a look, please see the details in the link:

Thank you to Goodstart Early Learning Noble Park for the opportunity to create their piece for them!

Since the beginning of 2024, I have had the honour of working with the amazing staff and students at Pakenham Secondary Collage, teaching them about Indigenous culture and sharing how we can integrate culture into art and education. Through weaving, clap stick making, Dreamtime stories and sculpture making, drawing and painting, the students have had the opportunity to learn about the people that lived on this land in the past, and about the people that still live here today and the traditions that we continue to practice. I look forward to continuing to work with everyone for the second half of the year and seeing what the students create next!

Pakenham Secondary College embraces the culture, history and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, celebrating important events such as Reconciliation Week, NAIDOC Week and our own Indigenous Cultural Day. We are also thrilled to have an Indigenous Artist in Residence, Samantha Richards, mentoring our students each week. Our Indigenous Artist in Residence, Samantha Richards, has been with Pakenham Secondary College since the beginning of 2024. Samantha is a descendent of the Wurundjeri and Dja Dja Wurrung Tribes of the Melbourne and Bendigo regions. She has been educating our students on the traditional Wurundjeri symbols, telling Creation and Dreamtime stories, providing insightful information on Indigenous culture, including sharing her extensive knowledge of Indigenous flora. Samantha has also been teaching weaving and woodwork practices, as well as producing Indigenous digital art using Procreate. We look forward to Samantha’s program expanding in the second half of the year, where she will further convey her immense knowledge of Indigenous culture by instructing our students on sustainability in food, the continuation of the Indigenous art program, as well as leading our students on Pakenham Secondary College’s Indigenous Cultural Day.
