Murals

This mural was painted in a back yard in Preston to create a jungle theme. Kidney shaped planters were filled with exotic palms, grasses and jungle type plants to soften the painting and create movement. The wall was approx 270cm x 210cm and painted in August 2007.

This mural was painted in the end of a corridor to create a quiet area for the children to work one to one with staff. The painting of sky and clouds continues onto the ceiling to create a 'grotto- like' effect and there are stylized birds, insects and flowers around the base of the room. This mural was painted in August 2007.

Longshaw Infants School

Painting a series of three murals at Longshaw Infants School Blackburn. The first was produced from a selection of designs that the children had made for a 'Healthy Eating mural' to be positioned outside the schools canteen. The mural was a montage of all the different foods that the children enjoyed that were healthy. Below shows a photo of the finished painting with the children whose designs were chosen to form the mural.

The second mural was Numeracy themed -incorporating illustrations based on counting songs with times tables subliminally ( hopefully) placed as backgrounds.

The last section was a Literacy mural with 'Elmer' the patchwork elephant blowing bubbles out of his trunk. the bubbles contained illustrations of favourite books -including 'Miffy', 'Farmer Duck', 'Hairy Maclarey', and 'Little Bear'.
