MOTY via my point and shoot.
Thank you so much Jake and for awarding me 2025 Artist of the year! Huge honour!
I still remember it was only a few short years ago when I struggled to say I was an ‘artist’…

I wrote a speech and everything but don’t end up reading it on the night so I’ll say some thank you’s here…
Firstly congrats to all the other winners on the night! I really got to share the stage with some incredible humans. Massive congrats to and Proud of you mob! Big love to the cuzzo for getting all dressed up and presenting me with the award too! Love ya bra. Means so much. And for my cuz for coming along, and always being so supportive 🤍
Biggggg thank you Ed and Nina at for believing in me, and making me believe in myself.
There’s too many people, but love you all.

Art never felt like it was a thing for me growing up, but I found it when I really needed it, at a time I wasn’t really looking for it. It’s changed my life, and I feel so fortunate to be able to make things and share with everyone… but more importantly I feel so lucky to have people share with me. To connect with mob and feel embraced because I embraced this practice….I could talk for hours about it all. Just know I pinch myself every day thinking this is the life I’m getting to live. Lucky I took the leap and got off the worksite.
I know I didn’t get here by myself, and I’m very aware of all the mob before me who have knocked down doors to get us all in these spaces. It’s something I think about quite a lot.
I just hope I can make you all proud, and that I can work harder, and encourage the younger mob to do the same.

For my Mum, and all my family. Especially you Poppa. I know you’re here with me.

Thank you endlessly. Big love.

And and and!
