Find out more about the Warrandyte Community Centre mural by Angharad Neal-Williams, 2023. ...
It was great to get input from a wide range of community members who helped inform the design through the series of workshops.
Common themes that were explored included the river, the natural environment and the experience of walking along and looking across the river to the other side.
The design captures these themes whilst incorporating bright colours that will sit within, and complement the surrounding environment.
Location of artwork
- Warrandyte Community House - 2 Webb Street Warrandyte, VIC 3113
- View on map
About the artist
Angharad Neal-Williams is an Illustrator, muralist and graphic recorder based in Melbourne.
Her work combines strong line drawing with controlled colour and shape to create thoughtful, fun and conceptual drawings.
She utilises both digital and traditional mediums to ensure outcomes feel natural and expressive through quirky imperfections in the simple line work. Her style is distinctly optimistic and focuses strongly on the importance of composition and line.
