Hand-Painted Children's Murals
Hand-painted with warmth and quiet imagination, these murals create spaces where children can dream—gentle atmospheres that listen, soothe and spark wonder.
An abstract coral reef painted for calm discovery— modern, quiet and full of light.

Reef on a wall
This small bathroom, part of a beachside home, became a gentle study in colour. The mural’s stylised coral forms drift across the walls in soft rhythm— abstract enough to evolve with a growing child’s taste, yet attuned to the room’s contemporary tiles and glass mosaic. It’s a tranquil sea imagined through design—a balance of playfulness and modern simplicity.

Painted paradise under southern skies
This nursery was imagined as a small world beneath the southern stars—a meeting place for kangaroos, koalas, and birds of every hue. Sea turtles hatch along the shore, rainbow lorikeets chatter in eucalyptus branches, and a pink galah keeps gentle watch from the painted sky. By night, the stars themselves glow softly in the dark, dusted with fluorescent paint. It’s a landscape of home and imagination—alive with Australia’s warmth and the hush of its night sky.
Above the quiet shore, the sky continues the story — a painted hush of light, wings, and watchful eyes among the leaves.
Beneath a soft Australian sky, two kangaroos pause by the shore while an iguana basks in the sun. Painted in quiet tones of sand and leaf, the mural captures the stillness between play and rest—a gentle rhythm that makes a child’s room feel like morning light
Butterflies and bees hover in painted stillness—a quiet closing note beneath the wide Australian sky
A pink galah rests high in its eucalyptus tree, watching over the room from the ceiling—fluorescent stars shimmer softly across the painted sky
A curious koala perches among eucalyptus leaves—a gentle guardian beneath the southern stars


A little possum peers curiously from its branch, sharing the painted sky with blossoms and birds—a gentle friend who greets you at the door

A supersized bookshelf mural where stories come alive and characters peek out to play.

Library extraordinaire
The principal briefed me to paint a mural with more books in the student library. Hm! How can we make them stand out? Supersize those books across an immersive wraparound mural that spans three walls. And don't forget to make them really colourful and fun. After all, we can never have enough books for our kids to enjoy and immerse themselves in, right?
After discussing with the principal, we came up with an idea for an "XXL Donation Library Mural". The plan is as follows: parents and guardians can contribute a monetary donation towards the library and, in return, have their names hand-painted on the spine of a book of their choice. And that's exactly how it happened.










Can you find the storybook heroes hidden in this mural?
Look closely! The Library Mouse is tucked away with a book! What about the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland? Books set our imagination free, and that's why everybody is out for play, including the encyclopaedia's butterflies!

Butterflies drift between the pages, bright as imagination
A gentle guardian perched between well-loved stories
