25.01.2022 So excited to have a blog post written about the murals here in Mission Beach. Big thank you to Splatrs , so lovely meeting you both.

23.01.2022 Pindi Pindi State School Mural Wow what an awesome week down at Pindi Pindi! This amazing little school, settled in amongst the sugar cane fields, has its own aquaponics setup and veggie garden. ... So my project for the week was to design a mural in conjunction with the kids that represents the aquaponics and garden area of the school. After an awesome little brain storming session we came up with our design, which showcases the cane fields, the aquaponics, the local bottle brush, insects, tomatoes, rosemary and sunflowers and even the school dog freckles. All the kids got involved in the painting process, even the pre preppies! And they all showed such enthusiasm and patience throughout the entire process. Well done Pindi Pindi! A big special thank you to Anna for getting this project to happen and to the parents for an amazing morning tea to celebrate the mural! On another note, I was able to bring my boys with me and they got to go to Pindi Pindi for the week, which they absolutely loved. I want to thank each and everyone of the students and teachers for making my boys feel welcomed and a part of the school.

04.01.2022 The Kennedy State School Mural Wow what can I say! I had the absolute honour of working with such a fabulous group of school children at the end of last term, the Kennedy State School kids! I am so so proud of their enthusiasm and engagement in the whole mural process. ... The mural process: the first step of the mural was to work on a design for the new mural which would wrap around their undercover area and onto the side. The kids brain stormed what was important to them in Kennedy and we came up with the following a white cockatoo, a bandicoot eating an mango, a wily wagtail, a wallaby and it’s Joey, a curlew bird, the mountain range that is the back drop to their beautiful school, a mandarin tree, a pineapple a rainbow lorikeet, a helicopter, a Ulysses butterfly and the endangered Mahogany Glider! After our brainstorm I sat down with the older kids and we mapped out our design on paper! After prepping the wall I drew up the design onto the walls and then it was go go go! The kids loved every part of painting the mural and even gave up their lunch breaks to keep doing more painting! There’s nothing I love more than developing the children’s love of art and creativity ! It’s amazing to see how involved they all are and how well they respond to such a different form of art! Yesterday we had the official opening of the mural and the kids did an amazing speech in front of many of adults telling us all about the mural! I just want to thank the amazing staff and the gorgeous kids for allowing me to come in and create some mural magic within your school! Thank you Kennedy State School !!! I can’t wait to come back and see you all!

It was great to have over 60 participants over the two workshops days come along and add their own touches to mural! You guys rock! ... Check out some of the gorgeous photos of some my little artistic helpers Mural 1- The Flora and Fauna Mural Located on the amenities block at the Mission Beach Visitor Centre this beautiful mural depicts some of the gorgeous native plants , fruits, seeds and flowers we have here in the Wet Tropics as well as the stunning electric blue Ulysses, Striped Possum and Rainbow Bee Eater.
