Come paint with me
Everyone is invited to come and paint with me! The design will already be outlined, so all you need to do is fill in the shapes with the colours I provide. While all ages are welcome, if you're bringing children, please ensure they are able to control a paintbrush and stay within the lines (we want to avoid too many drips!). Children must be accompanied by an adult. Please remember to wear protective clothing.

Story behind the project
In 2023, local graffiti artist Ant Steel brought one end of the Jersey Farm skate ramp to life with bold colour and style. It still looks awesome—but the rest of the ramp is feeling left out.
Now it’s time to finish the job. I’ll be leading a makeover of the other three sides—brush in hand—and I’d love your help. Whether you're a skater, dog walker, snack-bringer, or just have strong opinions on colours, come get involved. Let’s turn the whole ramp into a technicolour celebration of our community!
The design is still being developed at the moment (following on from two brilliant community design workshops. If you'd like to see what it currently looks like, it can be viewed here.

Design workshops
On 29th May and 5th June, I facilitated two design workshops with local residents. People came up with a wide range of creative and inspiring ideas for the mural. There was a huge variety in what they wanted to see—from local birds and sharks to koalas, melted ice lollies, skipping ropes, and spray cans—reflecting the diverse interests and imaginations of the local community.
