A new vibrant mural has found a home at Monash Pizzey Reserve, with the design chosen by the community.
Recently, locals were encouraged to cast their vote on three design options created by artist Stephanie Cartledge that were available on Brimbank council’s website.
Design option pne came out a winner, with 70 per cent of voters choosing the first design featuring the endangered native Growling Grass Frog, that can be found in Brimbank.
Created by artist Stephanie Cartledge, the artwork features drawings of frogs amidst the native aquatic vegetation, Running Marsh Flower.
Cartledge’s bold geometric illustration style depicts the natural world, emphasising its beauty and significance and exhibits how shapes lock together to create aesthetic and balanced designs.
She encourages others to consider their own relationship with the environment. And aims to create art that is striking and resonates with the viewer.
By creating art in public spaces, she hopes to make it more approachable. And encourage more people to engage with it daily.
Cartledge prioritises environmental sustainability by using non-toxic, low-Volatile Organic Compounds, and UV-resistant Resene paint, supporting local businesses, and disposing waste products ethically.
Locals are encouraged to head down to Monash Pizzey Reserve at 2 Pizzey Street, Sunshine, to check it out for themselves.
