Don’t be late... see Wonderland at library A PICTURE is being painted where there are thousands of words. Frankston Library is being transformed with the painting of several murals by Frankston artists Brigitte Dawson and Melissa Turner. The duo’s Melbourne Murals business has painted more than 1000 murals both in Australia and abroad and are happy they are able to bring a splash of colour to their Frankston home town with their latest creation, an Alice In Wonderland inspired mural at the library. Turner said it had taken “about a
week” to complete the first section of the new mural and expected it would take another week to finish two more sections. “Progress has been a bit patchy because the weather has been horrible the past week,” she said. The library mural is being painted in a Trompe l’oeil style to make it interactive and look realistic. The skilled artists’ creative flair and eye for detail is evident in the Alice In Wonderland mural. Dawson’s artwork has been displayed at many exhibitions, and she
has completed murals and artistic design for Channel 7, Fitness First, Channel 9 and the Australian Grand Prix. Turner has donated many painting and murals to charity fundraisers and explores different styles such as Trompe L’oeil and Surrealism. She also taught herself to weld and manipulate metals to create sculptures. See melbournesmurals.com.au for examples of the artists’ works. Neil Walker
