Every year, I’ve been part of the ACE! exhibition, which is an Australian Comics Exhibition held in partnership with the Australian Consulate-General. It’s organised by Illustrate Your Life, and in previous years, it’s been held in Thailand, Germany and Poland. This year, it’s held in Chengdu in China, at the Fang Suo Commune @ 27th Jan ~ 29th Feb 2024 with free entry.
Here are some photos of my artwork, and of the exhibition hall for 2024. Thanks to Jakub from Illustrate Your Life for organising this, and for the fantastic photos!
Thanks to Illustrate Your Life and Jakub Mazerant for organising this exhibition I was part of in Thailand, with special thanks to the Australian Embassy! Over 30 Aussie comic artists were exhibited at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, and got a mention at the Bangkok Post and Coconuts Bangkok too. I was also part of the previous exhibitions in Poland and Germany too!
Here’s someone checking out my entry, with a stack of postcards featuring my crayon art of our lovely native birds.
I’m an Australia Reads Ambassador for the 14th September 2021! Unfortunately, the COVID19 lockdown means that not a whole lot will be happening this front this year…
Manga caricatures for an illustration job I did. It’s always fun to do something like this.

On International Women’s Day on the 8th March 2021, my graphic novel series “Women Who Were Kings“ was celebrated by women’s empowerment organisation SheSaw and the shopping centre World Square in the Sydney CBD. I was one of twelve women hand-picked to have a commemorative portrait done of me, and I also gave a talk/interview about my biographical series.
Many thanks to the organisers at SheSaw, the wonderful artists who created my portrait (one of a series), the people who attended my talk, and to those who bought my books! I also want to thank World Square and the City of Sydney for hosting my talk.
The portrait series is at World Square, at the corner of George and Goulburn St. It’s smack bang in the middle of the CBD so you can’t miss it, and it will be there for the rest of March 2021!
Here’s me next to my portrait with my books#NowYouSeeHer at WorldSquare, corner of George and Goulburn StThanks to Donna form SheSaw for coordinating the interview/talk itself and organising itMany thanks to Annie who attended here, and to everyone else who came and bought a book!
There is also a SheSaw app that you can download from the app store, that creates a virtual statue (augmented reality) of me in the middle of World Square.
To use it, download it and locate my statue using the app, and then stand at the designated spot (which happens to be in front of the SuperDry store at World Square), then use the camera. You’ll see a virtual “pin” of a statue pop up that describes some of my achievements.
Download the SheSaw app and use it at the right spot with location detection……and Viola! Here’s a pin that represents me (in front of the SuperDry store in World Square)
The exhibition will continue through Women’s History Month in March 2021! Visit World Square at the corner of George and Goulburn St in the city of Sydney to check out the portraits!
