Healey Junior, Infant
and Nursery School
THE BRIEF
A commission to create a vinyl mural design in the entrance area of the school, encouraging learners to appreciate their local and diverse area. The installation includes a mixture of local statues and buildings, along with a range of positive affirmations.

WHERE WE BELONG
We were invited by the school to create a wall mural that would help children from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds learn more about their local area and feel a deeper connection to where they live.
The brief called for a design that celebrated local landmarks and positive affirmations, while complementing the newly refurbished seating area and its colour palette.
As part of our research, we explored the area in person — photographing key statues, buildings, and points of interest to capture their unique character, scale, and perspective.
Working closely with the school team, we developed research, sketches, and concept visuals before bringing everything together in the final artwork.
The finished mural is a bright, uplifting piece that integrates beautifully with its surroundings — designed to inspire pride, curiosity, and a sense of belonging.
The full process, from initial brief to installation, took around 4–6 weeks.
THE RESULT
As a result of the first wall installation and it’s success, I was asked to return to Healey Junior & Infant School to design a second wall installation which focused on the benefits of children being active, resilient and eating healthily.
THE SECOND WALL
It was important that the second wall design continued the visual style established in the first mural.
We carried through the same stamp-inspired details and colour palette, this time exploring a new theme — healthy living and the importance of caring for our bodies and staying active.
The design features uplifting quotes to encourage a positive mindset, alongside playful illustrations of children enjoying different sports, celebrating local teams, and making healthy food choices.
