Hazel grew up in the South East Australia. Studied Building Design & Architecture at RMIT: Melbourne. Leaving after the 3rd year of study to work with STUDIOBIRD, before travelling overseas to learn the art of Natural building.
During this time (2015-17) he began a relationship with medicinal plants , which opened the inspiration. As creativity grew, he started designing mandala gateways based on the psychedelic experiences.
It became a passion to anchor in and share these experiences through mediums which where known to him through his studies in architecture. Such as wooden CNC routing, and symmetrical precision granted through tools like AutoCad.
Aiming to fuse art and architecture, with the earth once again. These initial projects would be the first of many as a solo visionary.

In 2020, Hazels medium shifted the focus to Leadlight windows. Reviving an old craft, and collaborating further with light. Knowing this path, will eventually find its confluence with the other mediums. He looks forward to the day they all meld into one.
Now based in Country Victoria, Hazel and his wife Veronqiue are together planting seeds and cultivating rare plants / cacti & establishing a vision of food security on the land for generations to come. This simple but revolutionary act, they see as art in itself. Broadening the perspective of the living canvas and creative collaboration with life itself.
What a gift we have received to be here.
How may we give back to this sacred place.
May you be inspired to pursue your own creative path.
Thank you for stopping by.
