Inspired by Elvis, the 80’s and Leonardo Dicaprio’s wardrobe in Romeo and Juliet.

This Hawaiian style shirt is named after one of the 1980’s greatest open collar shirt wearers, Magnum P.I himself Tom Selleck. It features a camp-collar, short sleeves and a relaxed fit.

Biography:

Maisie began painting in 2008 while working part-time with the Ikuntji Aged Care program at Haasts Bluff. Maisie is the older sister of Evelyn Jugadai who used to paint at Ikuntji Artists until she became sick with kidney disease needing dialysis, and Walter Jugadai, director at Ikuntji Artists and emerging artist at Ikuntjj Artists.

Maisie participated with her husband and fellow artist Jeffrey Jackson in the Batchelor Institute for Indigenous Tertiary Education Program for a Certificate in Visual Arts I in screen-printing and textile design in 2017-2018. During these workshops she created designs of the sweeping sandhills (Tali Tali) in her country. These were turned into fabric-by-the-metre designs in 2021.
