STREETS OF YOUR TOWN - Street Library for Lane Cove Council 2022

Artwork created for the Street Library community initiative, commissioned by Lane Cove Council. Streets of Your Town celebrates the joy of neighbourhood connection, encouraging community sharing of resources to educate, inspire and invite creativity. Vibrant colours and motifs represent the adventures taken on the journey of a new book.

My intention was to create happy spaces and evoke joy - one house at a time, one street at a time.  The houses, gardens and flowers in Streets of Your Town artwork offer a sense of whimsy and childlike wonder, inviting you to join in the fun.

SUNSET IN THE VILLAGE FESTIVAL : Jan- Feb 2022:

Artwork commissioned by Lane Cove Council for their Sunset in the Village summer festival. Palettes of pink, red and orange represent sunset, with the blues, indigos and purples - onset of twilight and community events. The movement  / harmony and flow of the artwork suggests relaxation and activity - music, dancing and people. Nature and the environment form the perfect background to a wonderful, vibrant event.

LUNAR GARDEN: TRAFFIC LIGHT SIGNAL BOX, 2017

Artwork commissioned for a traffic light signal box in Garfield Street, Five Dock NSW, May 2017. 'Lunar Garden' represents the vitality and creative imagination of children, celebrating the joy they contribute to our community. Children delight in the bright, the bold and the magical. They thrive outdoors, enjoying the chance to explore and discover their local area. When the city sleeps and plants dance radiantly in the moonlight our children dream in vibrant wonderment. The artwork encourages curiosity, embraces creativity and offers a sense of whimsical adventure. Textured layers bring energy and emotion.  Mystical line work creates ethereal shapes and luminous palettes celebrating community spirit, playfulness and laughter.To view the world through the eyes of a child is a wonderful thing!
