An Adelaide family contacted me to install 3 murals in their home that is being completed renovated. This family loves colour and was a dream to work with.
Let me take you on a street art tour of Prospect and the Adelaide CBD. Discover what defines street art, how the art form has changed and evolved, the difference between graffiti and work in a gallery and how large-scale murals can delight and surprise the audience.
Bright and colourful mural for Tyndale Christian School in Adelaide. Here are some questions from the students about the process of installing this mural for their courtyard.
I’ve just completed a mural for the Nutrition Department at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Adelaide. I focused on pastel colours and organic shapes. Many of their patience would find strong, bright colours a sensory overload and it was important to create a welcoming space while patience wait for their appointments.
During my artist-in-residence at Cardijn College, the students covered their courtyard in colour. This project has been unique because, not only did I have time to brainstorm with students, run aerosol workshops, and install the mural with them, but the students also took the lead in requesting funding and permission from the school leadership.
I grew up in a safe home. A loving family. I had security and support. My heart is heavy for the women and children in SA who don’t have that and I know paint alone, can’t change that. But it is my hope that talking about this issue and raising awareness of violence against women and where we can access help can bring hope.
