Aesthetically their work deals with the idea of lines and connection. Their cartographic background of creating maps for the environmental industry, piqued their fascination in the way the world can be shaped in absolutes. They use solid colours and shapes to creatively define an area, an idea or a relationship. Their work reflects the stylisation seen in linocut prints or stain glass windows, while the colour they use invokes a sense of nostalgia within the surrounding environment.
Their work is simultaneously whimsical and personal and reflect cultural and historic elements of the locations in which they are painted. A celebration of what is locally beautiful and quintessentially Australian
Their clients have included various local schools and community town teams and various local governments located all over the state of Western Australia and Tasmania. Private organisations include the Woodside, Rio Tinto, Sheraton Hotel, Buchan Architects, RAC, Watercorp, Knight Frank, Stockland, WA Police, National Gallery of Australia, Perth Convention Centre, MRA, Vicinity Centres, Perron Group, Artsource and FORM.
