In association with Artforce, a local council initiative I designed and painted a traffic signal box (TSB) on the corner of Vulture Street and Edmondstone Road in West End, Brisbane. Carmel Court, the building adjacent to my TSB was built in 1937 as rental accommodation for a booming workforce that wanted to live close to the tram lines which once ran along Vulture Street. My TSB design pays homage to the Art Deco architectural style that was so popular at the time provides a snapshot into the local history of the area.
In 2024 I was invited back by Artforce to complete an extension to the TSB design complementing the current artwork.
Hi, my name is Siobhan and I am a Brisbane based artist, illustrator and designer. I work under the nickname Shaveen Kateleen as my Irish Gaelic birth name is frequently misspelt and mispronounced (if you haven’t come across it before, it’s is pronounced “sha-vawn”).
I am a professionally trained creative with a Bachelor of Creative Industries and Diploma of Graphic Design. Whilst I love designing, at times I often consider myself a bit more of an artist than a designer as I love to do things a bit differently and to think outside the box.
I am a lover of animals, nature, bright colours and loud patterns and like to combine elements of realism and pop art to create fun and attention-grabbing artworks. I have always loved painting and creating from a young age, on the weekends I host paint and sip classes and within the last couple of years I have developed a particular interest in painting larger scale outdoor murals.
