Poise by name, poise by nature. With gumball lips and a 50s up-do modeling the latest op-shop wares, Poise’s femme fatales tell their stories with a hint of fun and sass. Poise has a penchant for creating high-impact artworks infused with bold character and lettering designs formed from a self-taught background of graffiti in the 80’s; an instantly recognisable staple in her work on brick walls and gallery walls alike. With a variety of themes and ideas, her style remains inimitable.
Whether exploring the strong characters of her female figures or being free and jubilant with cartoon creatures, Poise’s artwork always makes a statement. Sometimes this statement is anti-establishment with a ferocity of design or a recognition of beauty expressed with a whimsical flourish. Some artworks represent the turmoil of an artist engaging within an art form that is often questioned as legitimate. Decades of multi-disciplinary expertise allow Poise to adeptly create intricate fine artworks on jewellery as well as large-scale murals on buildings. Poise has exhibited across Australia as well as featuring in international showcases, such as Art Basel in Miami. She has featured as an artist for events such as the Formula One Grand Prix, White Night and Can’t Do Tomorrow.
