A large new mural has been completed in the Nimbin town centre.

It has some 3-D effects in the whale and eagle with a sea to summit theme.

Diana Roberts OAM talks of the importance of artworks in Nimbin, “Nimbin’s main street murals are an iconic and significant part of Nimbin’s village heritage. One of the latest murals has added exceptional life and vibrancy to the mural landscape.

“Created by highly regarded and talented local artists, the mural covers the entire length of the southern wall adjoining the newly constructed village walkway linking the western car park to Nimbin’s main shopping precinct. 

“A true collaboration between Julie de Lorenzo, Jen Harkness and Gaia Heart, the mural theme is based on an existing painting by Gaia Heart and depicts the much-loved landscape of the hills surrounding the village.

“Jen Harkness utilised her design skills, digital tools and flare while Julie brought extensive mural experience and knowledge to the project.”

The 3D work is done by Gito (Andreas Von Schlippe).

“Delivery of the mural has involved hand drawing, application of stencils, and digital tools combined with projection, with colours carefully selected by Gaia Heart.”

You can find the mural in the laneway next to the bakery.

The mural was funded by the Nimbin Business Rate which is administered on behalf of Lismore City Council, by Nimbin Chamber of Commerce.
