I’m excited to share my new collection, Beyond the mind, on display at Arlington Five for the next month!

This collection to me is about what can happen when we let ourselves express oddness and unfamiliar things that we feel a connection with, but that don’t necessarily make sense to our logical minds.

In painting this collection I kept coming back to these funny creatures and letting myself paint them as a natural expression of my creativity. I feel somehow that they come from a different dimension that in some way I know very well.

I also loved the freedom and playfulness of experimenting with unexpected colour combinations.

I hope you’ll take a moment to stop in to Arlington Five, enjoy a hot beverage, and check out these curious paintings. They will be showing and available for purchase until November 5.

Thank you so much @arlingtonfive. It’s an honour to have art up in your space. taken in Arlington Five by @arlingtonfive

HI LOSERS!!!!1

Another successful edition of LOSERS CLUB at @arlingtonfive !

Our second edition was such a special night, and a HUGE thank you to my incredible LOSER cast:

✨ @mx.tique
✨ @mx.caligula
✨ @babe.blade_

Losers Club was created to intentionally make space for BIPOC and trans performers, because our visibility matters. TOO often BIPOCs and or Trans performers are literally the tokens of a cast (even in 2026🤪)

Supporting shows that actively centre BIPOC and trans artists means supporting spaces where we can take up space, tell our stories, be weird, be loud, experiment with our art and simply EXIST UNAPOLOGETICALLY onstage.

And there’s something extra magical about performing in a smaller, intimate venue like @arlingtonfive . The bright lights, the audience right in front of you, the conversations on the mic, the laughter and reactions, there’s nowhere to hide, and that’s what makes it so FUN. We get to actually connect with you, and you get to know the artists beyond the few minutes we’re performing onstage.

So THANK YOU to everyone who bought a ticket, tipped a performer, grabbed a drink from the coffee bar and showed up for queer, BIPOC and trans art. Shows like this only continue when our communities show up and support them.

LOSERS……….!!!1

The next Losers Club is dropping SOON with another cast of incredible BIPOC and or trans performers. Keep those loser eyes OPEN.

See you at the club, LOSERS! 😈

Meet the Crew!

Today we have the honour of showcasing (y)our favourite familiar Fran! (Nosfranitu, The Fran, Frangelica, Frangel, Lord Fran, and most recently, Franchew).

When she’s not demonstrating her avant- garde latte art, or plotting with Queen Genny, you can find her at museams, reading medieval Irish history, or figuring out new ways to have better sweaters than everyone.

(Y)our cafe is filled with amazing people. Fran is one of the many incredible characters we all have the luxury to interact with 🥰🌈 by @arlingtonfive

Hello! 👀☺️

Here you’ll see Matt preparing a classic sandwich!

What’s interesting is that this sandwich is only possible because of (y)our incredible, local suppliers. Several groups of people all play a role in this one little sandwich we make everyday.

The eggs are locally sourced from 🥚@ferme_reveuse

The jalapeño jelly is crafted by (y)our friends 🌶️ @topshelfpreserves

The Berkshire ham comes from 🐖 @perthpork

The buns are provided by 🍞 @portobakery

And of course, the arugula from 🥬 @ethansthreebirds

We are extraordinarily grateful to (y)our suppliers! They’re lovely, local, and help form (y)our community 🌈🥰
