It was great to return to scenic Iningai country and complete the artwork for the Jericho Street Library. I cant believe it was way back in 2012, I completed murals at the local school…time flies! Thanks to The Jericho Community Tourism Association for making this project possible.

Bundamba

/ Bundamba State School/

After completing the Library mural at Bundamba State School last year it was great to return. This time I applied murals at the basketball court and brightened up the tuckshop which was in dire need of a fresh coat of paint.

Daisy Hill

/ Daisy Hill State School/

It was great to contribute to the upcoming 150 year celebrations at Daisy Hill State School. Formally known as Slacks Creek State School, the design reflects the schools mascot “Daisy” the koala and some of the uniforms over the schools history. The design also references the eucalypt tree planting program which is unique to Daisy Hill State School a story which can also be used as a learning tool. Keep an eye out for the celebrations later this month.

Regents Park

/ Regents Park State School/

After completing a staircase, uniform shop & tuckshop in recent years I returned to Regents Park State School. This time I painted a couple of undercover play area walls. The design features Wajin who is the schools Platypus mascot and the STAR values.

Murwillumbah

/ Heritage Lodge/

It was nice to complete a local commission over the Easter Break. The courtyard mural at Heritage Lodge Murwillumbah compliments the recent upgrades in the outdoor space. A big thanks to the staff who made this project come to fruition and it was great to see the residents utilising the new look area.

Ormeau

/ Livingstone Christian College/

It was a pleasure to return to Livingstone Christian College at Ormeau prior to the the Easter break. I facilitated several workshops with a variety of students as part of the annual arts showcase & battle of the band celebrations. Thanks goes out to the Arts Department for putting on an organised and enjoyable program.

The Bundamba State School Library suffered some storm damage and as I understand had been closed for some time. It has since been repaired and remodelled with all new carpet, furnishings, air con etc. My expertise was called upon to create a mural on the main feature wall. The principal had been following my work for many years and was thrilled to finally have the opportunity to engage my services. I am honoured to be a part of the libraries transformation and contribute to comfortable learning space for the students.

I wasn’t keen on relying heavily on other peoples artwork for reference but found it to be an impossible challenge to reflect popular children books without having too much likeness to the originals. I hope I have done the various illustrators, artists and authors of these classic stories justice.
