Bright Colours & Big Smiles At Community Mural

The event was well attended and the sun was shining, making it a wonderful afternoon filled with colour, and smiles.

“To have the kids be a part of something that's going to be here for such a long time is great,” said Lavinia.

“They can come down, see it and go - 'I painted that part!' - It gives them ownership of something that's going to be here for such a long time and they can be proud of it.

“It's such a great way to brighten everyone's day. We had a lot of rain around, so it's nice to have the sunshine and a beautiful day, get everyone out the house and come and do something a little bit different.”

Art by Lavinia has done a number of different murals in the region, including Taylors Beach, Lucinda, Halifax and Ingham.

Lavinia has painted murals for 10 years and said she likes bringing places to life through her art, but above all she loves community projects.

“I love involving the community. I studied community development, and I really like working with everybody involved, so we can get a project that everyone can be proud of.”
