A new mural is currently being installed at the Gawler Civic Centre by artist Sarah Boese.
The mural in the Civic Centre is a nature theme, bringing different elements of the Gawler environment into the building. The meeting of the Gawler rivers, Parridla Taikondi Park, a Bee Eater bird, and the local yellow bottlebrush features in this mural with the large Crimson Rosella birds that draw the eye up the large wall of the café area.
Sarah Boese is an artist from the Adelaide area who paints in a typically very vibrant and colourful style, with very fluid and organic lines. Painting murals since 2014/15 Sarah has been interested in art since she was a young child.
Sarah has used a house paint acrylic base background that she then colour matches to her aerosol paints to complete the work. She has featured in many SALA events and has murals on other walls around South Australia.
Describing her piece Sarah said "Crimson rosellas meet above the river as evening falls in Parridla Taikondi Park. Discussing the new blossoms amongst the branches of the gums and yellow bottlebrush; the tree limbs twist to form a shape that mirrors the intersecting water below them."
The Town of Gawler values the role the arts play in promoting community spirit and pride. It supports its community in developing their creativity through providing avenues to showcase their work, skills and talents and supports the development of various programs and events for the community.
