Hype Merseyside – Liscard

I painted a mural with a group of young people who attend a HYPE Merseyside art session over at the Central Park Hub, Liscard.

 

Creative projects like this are very important for young people. It gives them creative freedom, and the chance to explore and ignite their imagination.

At the start of the process, I asked the young group to come up with ideas for the mural. This included the tree and a list of inspiring and positive words to paint inside the leaves.

The group ranged in ages from 7 – 11 and did an absolutely brilliant job working large scale, and also tackling a heavily textured surface – it took a lot of patience (and paint!) to cover the bobbly and porous wall. My niece Poppy also helped out as part of her work placement.

If you are interested in a community based mural project please get in touch.

Experience

I have been working in the creative sector since studying graphic design and illustration at LJMU. I started out painting murals and attending graffiti events – working primarily with spray paint at that time. I would then progress to painting large scale corporate murals once I graduated and began a placement at Nonconform – where I still work today. In my university days, I was often told by tutors that ‘you would never work in an agency’

Hilariously I hated computers whilst at uni, and preferred making everthing from scratch. Even now I try to be as hands on as possible, but obviously using a computer is inevitable with the job I do.

 

Disciplines
Catching up on posts. This is a very important piece of work. 🧡
I created portraits for @saverauk to remember, empower and support women affected by male violence including survivors of 'honour'-based abuse. This image was taken at this years @million_women_rise March & Rally in Central London on International Women's Day. 8/03/2025 ❤️🧡
