I'll stick this here, as I'm guessing Wilkinson is still living in Melbourne.
It has a pretty vibrant street artist mural scene. They love a nice mural in those laneways.

Anyway nice little yarn about her doing the artwork for kid's football comic book in Fiji.

Aimed at four to six-year-olds, Tabu Soro Futupolo follows the journeys of a young Roy Krishna and Adi, a little girl who dreams of becoming a Kula. The pair rescue a trapped shark and kula bird, and are rewarded with the power to shapeshift into the animals – with the shark, named Qio, and the kula representing the boys and girls of Fiji respectively.

Adi then meets former New Zealand international Hannah Wilkinson, who encourages Adi to dream big as she gets ready for Duavata Tournament, a major local competition.

To create the comic’s artwork, Jankowski and Simmons enlisted the help of former Football Fern Hannah Wilkinson, whose goal against Norway in the opening game of FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 secured Oceania’s first-ever senior FIFA World Cup win in 2023 and is building an impressive artistic resumé.

Fiji FA will target one early childhood education centre every week in the Western, Northern and Southern divisions to reach as many aspiring Kulas and Bula Boys as possible and inspire their next generation of footballers. They hope to host Wilkinson and Krishna at some point later in the year to launch Tabu Soro Futupolo in other communities in Fiji.
