Welcome to the Big Top by Shaveen Kateleen in Brisbane
Welcome to the Big Top
In association with Artforce Brisbane, a local council initiative I designed and painted an Energex Padmount Transformer (EPT) on Logan Road, Mount Gravatt. The Homemaker Centre my EPT is situated in front of is affectionately known by locals as ‘Big Top’. The name ‘Big Top’ with its flag logo, evokes the bright and colourful circus themed imagery which has inspired my design. My design features the red and white striped pattern of a big top circus tent, intertwined with colourful imagery of circus performers and animals. The final design represents a colourful, eye-catching and fun visual illustration of the name of the local area/Homemaker Centre.
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.
