Ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics, I was commissioned by Haben to paint a 14m portrait of Matildas and Arsenal star, Caitlin Foord, celebrating her Wollongong roots and worldclass achievements.

The mural captures Caitlin’s energy and style of movement on the field via layered silhouettes.

Featured alongside her is ‘Peach’, Caitlin’s beloved dog whom she is separated from for much of the year – an acknowledgement of the duality of achievement and sacrifice.
