Mouse Pad - Coleraine Country

I was excited to be contacted by a staff member from Coleraine’s St Joseph’s Primary School to produce an artwork that reflected their principal’s connection to the Coleraine area, which I represented with the rolling hills and valleys, the school I represented with the Sticky Wattle which grows in the area and is on their school logo as well as the connection he has with Edenhope and Casterton schools which I represented with landmarks and gathering places. The cross represents his Christianity, values and beliefs and within the sun is his family, also with him embracing the children in what looks like flower petals. This was a beautiful surprise gift from the staff as the principal was leaving his role and moving towns.
