Flow and Flight - A New Coastal Mural for Mandurah

Mural titled “Flow and Flight” on a Mandurah beachside ablution block, featuring black-and-white dolphins and seabirds over a pastel coastal abstract background; photographed at golden hour with a person walking a dog in the foreground.

This little Mandurah ablution block got a whole lot of love! 💙

Created as part of the Mandurah Arts Festival, Flow and Flight celebrates the city’s vibrant coastal identity, rich estuarine ecosystem, and the community spirit that makes Mandurah such a special place to paint.

The mural brings together some of Mandurah’s most iconic natural residents: dolphins drawn from the local FinBook, seabirds in full motion, and marine species such as blue swimmer crabs, rock lobsters and whiting. These elements weave through dynamic flowing lines that echo both the movement of water and the rhythm of wings.

The design blends my signature black-and-white realism with a retro-inspired coastal palette, creating a fresh, light, holiday-at-the-coast feeling—one that reflects my own personal connection to Mandurah’s coast. The intention was to honour the deep relationship the community has with this place: the memories made here, the cycles of tide and migration, and the sense of peace this location exudes.
