Vexta’s work is mostly human portraiture. Some of her work has been purchased by the National Gallery of Australia. She was born in 1980 and has a background in print-making. You can see examples of her work on her website.

According to a page on Wikipedia: Vexta’s motivation for stencil art is both artistic and sociopolitical. She has been documented as saying:

“I don’t want to live in a city that’s really bland and covered in grey and brown and advertising. I never said it was OK to put a billboard on the top of Brunswick Street, so who’s to say that I can’t put up a small A4 size image in a back laneway?”.

Her main aim in her work is to connect with the public on an emotional level:

“I want to find and capture what it is that makes us human, the soul of the individual that is at once personal but at the same time deeply universal“.
