I had known about Jugglers for years. I had seen some of my favorite local artists reside in the space and go on to do amazing things. I knew, that the first place I wanted to exhibit my work in Australia was at Jugglers Art Space. When I gave myself a year to make it as a full time artist, I approached Jugglers to hire the venue for a solo exhibition at the end of that year. To my surprise, they said yes.

I planned the exhibition to within an inch of it's life. I spent all of 2015 creating works, curating, playing. On install day, Peter took the time to give me a few tips on how to professionally hang my works - d-rings one third of the way down the canvas. The show almost sold out and I've been a full time practising artist since. Jugglers has given me opportunities to run workshops with schools. Jugglers has given me a space to host international female street artists and to paint together. Jugglers has given me so many friends and connections in the Brisbane street art scene. Jugglers has given me a mentor in Peter. Opportunities to paint for the Queensland Government, to collaborate with artists such as Lucks and Clay Smith. Jugglers has given me space to have a second solo show and many group shows. Even after the closure of the Jugglers Art Space, the people I have met and the collaborations I have been part of have still thrived. I now paint murals in collaboration with other Jugglers artists, I exhibit work in Brisbane most recently in Sydney with artists I met through Jugglers. I have gone on to teach everything Peter has taught me to school students and emerging street artists. I have bought art from and sold art to Jugglers artists. 

Jugglers Art Space was the heart of Street Art in Brisbane. Although the building doesn't exist anymore, the friendship and collaborations and education and support continues within that generation of artists that were lucky enough to work in the space.
