Wynnum SHS

Wynnum High has benefited from recent re-vamping and many of the original buildings have taken on modern appearences. It was great to return to apply some colour to one of the few sites where the old red brick remained. The text “We’re Wynnum We’re Proud” and colour scheme of the mural derives from the schools expectations Positive, Respectful, On task, Unified and Determined. Stretching fifty five metres of the 1st level made it diffucult to get good photos so the mural is best viewed from a Citytrain.

 

Frog Garden

Cerebral Palsy League have been busy creating a fantastic new garden area at the Capalaba Day Service. The Frog Garden mural was painted to compliment all of their great work entailing new paving, garden beds, a veggie patch and frog pond. It was great to catch up with clients and staff at the celebratory luncheon and enjoy the food and entertainment. I appreciate the ongoing support towards visual art projects and feel honoured to have the opportunity to contribute to another fantastic project with CPL. See more

Withcott and Murphy's Creek

Murals at Withcott and Murphy’s Creek have completed the Urban Art Project over the weekend. Eight skateparks across the Lockyer Valley have been brightened up with artworks designed and painted by local young people and Aerograffix. Many positive outcomes have been achieved including a young person who initiated the project receiving a Young Citizens Cultural Award. Community feedback has been great and I commend Lockyer Valley Regional Council for supporting youth arts in the face of adversity with disaster relief and recovery still continuing in the region. The RADF funded Urban Art Project has created ownership and provided culturally relevant arts activities for young people. I look forward to contributing to future initiatives now the seed has been sown. Read more:
