Hello!

Welcome to my listing. Make yourself at home. Can I get you a drink?

My name’s Adele. I’m a graphic designer with a strong interest in branding and design for the arts and culture sector, who is passionate about promoting community, not commodity.

I’ve collaborated with clients ranging from small businesses to fashion brands to major arts organisations.

My design embraces bright colours and eccentric type to create bold and edgy, yet accessible and fun outcomes.

Alice’s art practice is predominantly oil & permanent marker on canvas. She practices in Albury, the town of her childhood, situated in the southeastern corner of country New South Wales, Australia. Alice’s studio is tucked away in an old art deco building behind the town’s main street. Here, she considers the ‘push and pull’ of vivid imagery, expressive mark making, & subtle textures. Alice’s inimitable combinations of bright colour, tone, and light offer her and her audience a moments’ reprieve from the everyday. For Alice, painting is uplifting and therapeutic; a purposeful and overt rejection of doubts & worries.

I am a freelance musician and composer with over 20 years’ experience working professionally in the arts both nationally and across the globe. I have performed my original work across five continents, and been the Musical Director for Circus Oz, Yothu Yindi And The Treaty Project and the Flying Fruit Fly Circus, in addition to numerous collaborations with companies including Extraordinary Bodies (UK), Cirkus Cirkor (Sweden) Polyglot, Arena Theatre, NICA and Force Majeure (Australia). I am passionate about writing original music, and creating art and performances that are free and accessible to everyone. I perform as electronic artist Synthotronica (all original upbeat electronic music with live baritone saxophone and triangle), with recent local performances including Riverside Vibes Albury 2023, Two Fingers Bar Albury and Boogie At The Brewery at Tumut River Brewing Co. With Synthotronica I perform as a street performer at many community events and festivals, including international events The Buskers’ World Games (Gwangju, South Korea 2022), Honk! Festival Rio de Janeiro (2019) and Tollwood Winter Festival Germany (2018). I also perform as a solo pianist, including with projection concert My Shadow Is My Only Follower (CoCreate Wodonga 2022), and my Allegro Non Oppo project, which is a series of solo piano concerts taking places in local op shops. My audiovisual practice involves gathering field recordings and video footage from specific locations, which I then warp and manipulate to create kaleidoscopic psychedelic audiovisual portraits of place that are made up entirely of sounds and sights gathered on location.
I have scored over fifty Australian circus, theatre, dance and moving image works.

Centre Stage Scripts is an arts and health production company specializing in mental health plays and films.

I explore notions of hybridity through sculpture, ceramics, painting, installation and moving image. I am interested in the abject, hybrid and monstrous body. My work delves into the body as material, polyphonic voice and relational multiplicities embedded in cultural and environmental ecosystems. In these times of ecological crisis, I seek to rupture perceptions of a distinct individual self, and question notions of the defined. Unearthing obscured stories, my practice provokes conversation about cultural, political, and societal transformation.
Through materials and process, I reach into the mythologies and symbolic languages of my mixed eastern and western cultural heritage to explore transformation. Drawing on science, ecology and imagination, I incorporate personal biographies and cross-cultural mythologies of decay, ritual and regeneration into chimeric conglomerations and hybrid beings. With my mixed Anglo-Indian-Australian and culturally Deaf heritages, as a hearing, bilingual (Auslan-English) artist, I consider how hyphenated ways of being may queer dominant paradigms and give rise to potential new narratives.

I create commissioned private and public artwork, produce exhibitions and offer writing services.
