Original stencil paintings inspired by Australian life - stories of suburbia, surf culture, and shared memories.

Summer Lovin' - the art of retro Aussie summers!

In the last days before my Mum passed, we revisited memories from family slides, sparking the creation of Summer Lovin'. This collection is a nod to shared memories - the music, fashion, and freedom of Australian life when summers were endless and life was simpler.

For Melbourne collectors I offer complimentary local delivery and professional hanging for original works. In some cases, I’m also happy to bring a piece to your space to see how it feels before committing.

Each work is built by hand, layer by layer - a slow process that allows small imperfections and character to remain. Watch the video to see the process in action.

Testimonials

  • “Geoff’s attention to detail is amazing—his paintings are full of iconic scenes and hidden gems that make you stop and look closer. Seeing the work in person, I knew instantly I loved it. Geoff is passionate about what he creates, and you can feel that in every piece. Buying from him was easy and personal—he even delivered and hung the paintings himself. Now, both of his works take pride of place in my home, and visitors always comment on the unique details. I’m a very happy and satisfied client.”

  • "Dying To Feel Alive" first caught our eye during Melbourne's Covid lockdown whilst browsing for art online. The iconic location of Melbourne's Luna Park in St Kilda, the bright colours, modern art stenciling technique and non standard canvas shape meant this was the piece for us. Geoff personally delivered and hung the art, told us the story behind it and even provided a timelapse video capturing its creation. We love supporting local artists and will continue to keep an eye on Geoff's work as he creates new pieces.

    We first came across Geoff’s art at the Canterbury art show. His style, subject matter and use of colour appealed to our quirky nature and reflected how we feel about Melbourne. We have watched his style evolve over the years and admire his stencil art so much that we now have three new paintings to add to our collection.
