ABOUT
Hi everyone, I’m Matrisse. I am a maker of things!
​
On my Dad’s side we are South Sea Islander and Aboriginal. I am the youngest of three girls growing up mostly in Brisbane with a few years in Far North Queensland. As a kid I hated moving, but now I like the feeling of a new adventure. Although, with two school aged kids and a husband who is not so keen we have settled in Brisbane, for now!
​
Much of my work reflects issues that are close to my heart, such as the environment, culture and the love of beautiful illustration and design. I create works mostly on paper, fabric and ceramics. Making has always been an integral part of my life, I love creating things that are one of a kind, whether that is a brooch or print even the slightest difference I cherish. In a world where the need for perfection in our everyday life is paramount, from our bodies, our jobs or even our homes, I strive for the imperfection, individualism and love the uniqueness of each piece I create.
With my new studio almost up and running I am looking forward to bringing you more works.
Much love
Mat
Projects
I love taking on small scale creative projects. Over the last few years, I worked on projects doing things like social media, graphic design, event management, and market curation. As the Creative Producer of three Meeanjin Markets I co-ordinated musicians, markets, and workshops, even moving the event online in 2020. I love working as part of a creative team so if you need an extra person for your project please feel free to get in touch!
