"Hi, I’m Geoff Cunningham — a Melbourne stencil artist creating original artworks inspired by Australian nostalgia, suburban life and the small moments that shape who we are.

My work combines hand-cut stencils, layered spray techniques and bold colour to create images that feel both familiar and contemporary. Collectors are often drawn to the sense of place, memory and cultural connection that runs through each piece. Whether it’s a 1970s suburban streetscape, a native bird, a well-worn suitcase or something more surreal, every artwork begins with a moment that feels worth holding onto.

I grew up surrounded by the everyday details of Australian suburbia — the sun-bleached nature strips, the long summer evenings, the family holidays, the birds in the backyard. These scenes have a way of sticking with you. My art is a way of preserving them, re-imagining them and giving them a new life on the wall.

Each stencil is cut by hand and developed in layers, allowing precise edges, texture, shadow and depth. No two pieces are ever the same. This process gives the work its distinctive graphic feel while keeping a strong emotional warmth at the core.

Over the years my paintings have found homes with collectors across Australia and overseas, along with interior designers, corporate clients and people who simply see a part of their own story in the work. I believe art should feel personal — something you keep noticing, keep thinking about, and keep connecting with.

If my pieces remind you of where you grew up, the summers you spent, or even the person you used to be — then that’s exactly what they’re meant to do.

Thanks for being here, and I hope you find something that feels like your story too."
