"The Fly By" was commissioned for an apartment in Brunswick, Melbourne. The requirements were that it needed to be colourful include patterns and birds. It is roughly 2 metres wide and 3 metres high and located in the internal stairwell. I used spraypaint and hand cut stencils for the birds but the circles were all hand painted in acrylics.
I'm Carley, an artist from Brisbane. I graduated from RMIT Melbourne in 2006 and since then have had work exhibited in Australia, the UK, Hong Kong and Europe. I have been selected as a finalist in competitions such as the Sunshine Coast Art Prize and the Gold Coast Art Award. Over the last few years my main interest has been in large scale artworks and murals. I have completed private pieces as well public ones, recently I have been commissioned by the Brisbane city council, Brookfield shopping centre and Morton Bay council to create both indoor and outdoor large scale artworks. My works are a reflection of my daydreams of idyllic paradises where birds and animals live together with no fear of threat from humans. Their habitats are untouched, colourful and bright. They are safe. I create these environments with mixed media processes such as image transfers, hand cut stencils, spray paint and even glitter. Experimentation, colour and pattern are what inspire me to create on a daily basis.
