The design includes the stepping stones of Newport Lakes, a New Holland Honeyeater, Sacred Kingfisher, female Superb Fairy-Wren, Lewin’s Rail, Spotted Pardalote, Eurasian Coot and finally, the (male) Pink Robin, which has been sighted at Newport Lakes in 2024.

Bird Count mural, 2021
During 2021, I partnered with Deer Park North primary school via the Creative Workers in Schools Program. I was based in the science room with Ms Lodkowski, where the students were doing the Birdlife Australia Birds in Schools program. Students learnt about birds in the local area, conducted a “bird count” on the school grounds, and then created collage birds with me in small workshops. To conclude the project we created a mural featuring the top bird species counted by students. The student’s collage artworks were used as the basis for this design.

Hello Hakea mural, 2019
City of Maribyrnong commissioned me as part of the Street Works program. REX Hairdressing business owner, Andy Browse, was keen to have a botanical-themed mural extend from the shop front to the large 6 m x 3 m side wall on Elphinstone Street. The central motif in the design is a stylised hakea ulicina, a plant local to the western volcanic plains.

The mural has brightened up a very dull corner of the village neighbourhood. It has also been good for business. REX Hairdressing uses the mural as a backdrop for its social media posts.
