ZEPO

In Pursuit of my core being, to become a great Australian artist and follow in my Nans footsteps; Tina Winters, a dutch migrant landscape artist who taught and inspired me to paint from a very young age, sold and exhibited her work throughout Melbourne many years ago and I will continue to reprise the days of old.
Growing up in Canowindra, a remote town in N.S.W notorious for its bushranger history has influenced much of my subject matter such as Ned Kelly and the infamous Hall gang.
Moving to Melbourne as a teenager and being involved in the street art scene is what birthed ZEPO and my appreciation for bold colours on rough and smooth surfaces.

2024-2026 Bought a home and had my first son HUGO WINTERS.

2026 back to it.

Bullet head is the first work in a series based on my childhood pet and experiences growing up as a kid on the farm in Canowindra, located in remote N.S.W.

Buster aka Bullet-head was a red heeler cattle dog, also known as a Smithfield which is a rare breed with a stumpy tail that originated from the Australian dingo. So you can guarantee a tough true blue working-dog however these breeds can also be disobedient and troublesome. 

My dog was shot in the head by the local farmer as he was on the run, escaping from his property after killing his sheep. He hit him with a 22 bullet right through the side of his check and lodged into his snout just missing his brain, which would have surely been the end for him, however, he managed to escape through the barbed wire fence also adding to the injuries cutting his neck open. 

When Buster got back home the farmer came flying down our driveway which was around half a km long to shoot him again. He pulled up to our house and there was a big cloud of dust surrounding him with his gun pointing at my bleeding dog. He said to my mum I'm here to finish him off and get out of the way. My mum frantic and crying was going to, luckily for Buster my uncle was visiting and came outside, grabbed my dog, and said; 

"You're not killing this dog mate" and drove him to the vet. 

In the end, the vet said there was nothing they could do for him and he just had to tough it out as the bullet lodged in his face would eventually pop out! He survived and eventually the bullet did pop out after a few months. We also had to compensate the farmer for his sheep.
