AN Indigenous artist has painted a new mural in Frankston.
The artwork is being completed as part of a partnership between Wilson’s Car Park in Frankston and First People’s Health and Wellness.
Artist N’Dene Riley is overseeing the mural project. She said that she “will be doing the designs of Aboriginal symbols and story. It’s a bay ocean theme gathering together to live as one”.
Work on the mural began at Wilson’s Car Park on 9 December.
Dunkley MP Peta Murphy attended the opening. “Reconciliation in action at 7 Station St Frankston. First Peoples’ Health and Wellbeing and Wilsons Parking are working together to paint a new aboriginal mural in Frankston,” she said on social media. “Local aboriginal artist N’Dene Riley has been commissioned for the work. And both organisations are helping to paint the undercoat. Can’t wait to see the completed artwork.”
First People’s Health and Wellness is a Frankston-based Aboriginal community controlled health service. It aims to improve access to affordable primary health care.
