Cardiff Post Office Garden Mural

Local artists were invited to submit digitized artwork for a temporary mural on the exterior wall of Cardiff Post Office. The goal is to beautify the space with artwork that represents Cardiff’s community and identity, while also discouraging graffiti—all without causing any damage to the building’s facade.

Inspired by the idea of "snail mail," my design celebrates the insect life of Cardiff and the wider Lake Macquarie area. This interactive mural invites viewers to search and find native insects hidden among vines formed like Cardiff’s streets. From beetles and bees to damselflies, the artwork encourages people to slow down, look closer, and appreciate the small creatures we share our environment with.
