Living Leaves – Morley

The inspiration behind this design was to connect the project theme 'The Living Stream' with a story of life from nature. Figures and birds, punching their way from the large colourful leafs into the world and leaving behind that puzzle piece hole keeps that connection of the figures with their origin, enforcing that life creates life and that "it's all connected"

Artist

Peter Ryan

Perth, Western Australia

I am a Perth-based professional artist since 2009, working in all mediums, from oil paints on canvas to illustrated children’s books. I am also a 2D/3D animator with over 23 years of experience. My artwork has always been referred to as bright, colourful, fun, entertaining and uplifting. The opportunity to create public murals to be enjoyed by all ages and demographics, incorporating a connection between nature and community, appeals greatly to the type of art I love to create!

With my strong, recognizable style and the ability to adapt to the level of sophistication required to suit individual projects, I’m always looking forward to new and interesting opportunities and locations to continue building my public and personalized art portfolio throughout Australia. Many of my government and private murals have involved working with the community and children during the design process. I enjoy the ideas children bring to my art and encouraging their creativity when showing it transform into a mural.

My two most recent large murals in 2022 are in; Hillary’s Boat Harbour, WA; this covered a number of different spaces, including a staircase and anchor, and then my largest artwork to date is the GrainCorp Silos at Quirindri. Incorporating an animated light show with the collaboration of Illuminart with the Grand Opening in January 2023.
