Bree is a seasoned designer and brand developer with over two decades of industry experience operating her own studio, Secret Weapon Creative. After loving the experience of painting her first traffic signal box last year, she was keen to return to the Artforce program. For Bree, the project is a vital way to connect with the local art community and contribute a personal creative touch to Brisbane’s vibrant cultural landscape.
Her artwork, ‘Side Street Stories’, weaves together recognisable snippets of daily life near the Shaw Road shops. The scene features a teenage boy riding home from the sports fields with a bandaged knee and a backpack full of local bakery treats, alongside a girl walking her dog after a coffee stop at Barrow & Bear. Playful paper planes drift through the composition as a nod to the nearby travel agency, acting as a clever device to create movement and lead the eye. A celebration of neighbourhood connection, the artwork wraps everyday details into a single moment full of character, story, and unfolding drama.
