South Perth
This elegant home in South Perth features a long window in the kitchen overlooking the back walkway – a unique and perfect canvas for a mural.
The client asked Hayley to create an illustrative mural inspired by Australian native botanicals and the iconic black cockatoo. Taking cues from the lavishly furnished home, Hayley used metallic gold to tie in the art with the home’s decor.
Hayley took inspiration from the Carnaby black cockatoo, the waratah flower, proteas (non-native) and eucalyptus to create a design that can be enjoyed from the kitchen, dining and living areas.

The Hayley Co
Hayley Smith is a Perth-based artist passionate about engaging and collaborating with local businesses and communities to create large- scale public murals for all to enjoy.
She specialises in painting ocean themes, native flora and fauna, using vibrant colour schemes and bold lines to depict the natural environment.
Hayley is originally from Port Stephens, a small town on the east coast of Australia. Creating art since she first picked up a set of crayons at 18 months old, Hayley was influenced by the many local artists who painted the beautiful ocean scenery and hillside.
Her father was friends with the late Kim Nelson, an Australian artist known for his range of classical, abstract and symbolism in art. Kim’s inspiring work played a deep role in building her aspirations to become an artist.
