Sunbury residents can set their sights on the suburb’s newest murals, with two editions added on Macedon Street and O’Shanassy Street.
Hume council said it commissioned local artists to create artwork that represents Hume’s culture, history, people and places.
Artists Jack Miers and Josh Brown created the ‘Welcome to Sunbury’ mural at 52 Macedon Street to celebrate a “sense of place” in Sunbury.
“We spent a few weeks back and forth developing the design concept with Hume council and… The Yoozh cafe,” Mr Brown said.
“Once we had approval on the artwork, we spent two and a half days painting the mural.
“The intention of the mural was to tell stories that are distinct to the local community by celebrating a sense of place in Sunbury.”
Mr Brown said they included local flora and fauna in the artwork, so the community could reflect and appreciate the Hume region.
“Our approach was to design the artwork in a colourful, lighthearted and fun way, for people to discover new things each time they interact with the wall,” he said.
Artist Mandi Barton also created a mural called ‘Where the creek flows,’ which was inspired by the local landscape surrounding the township. This is located at 63 O’Shanassy Street.
