'The Fairy Bread painting was just a nod to the classic Australian party food from many of our childhoods'.
With a career that spans almost 30 years beginning with figurative painting, this Melbourne-based artist's work now explores the visual potential of words with a cheeky take on Australian popular culture and a healthy dose of humour.
'There's something particular about the way Australians' pronounce words. We have a habit of draaaging the word out. My 'Maaate' design accentuates this idea by adding the extra A's'.
Discover the range of artists, their designs and find out why they've chosen their particular piece to feature as part of our Qantas Curates collection.
