Hume has been going through a colourful transformation with the council commissioning local artists to create murals throughout the municipality.
The artwork has taken the usually dull walls throughout the area and replaced them with artwork representing Hume’s culture, history, people and places.
Artist Jason Parker was tasked with the job of transforming a wall at Tullamarine Library.
Parker chose to take inspiration from the Wildwoods Parklands in Tullamarine to create something he says he’s really proud of.
“I wanted to show off some of the endangered flora that’s located in the parklands, how important the parklands are for local communities, especially being in the suburbs,” he said.
Parker is extremely passionate about helping to rescue endangered flora and said though his art he can help educate locals.
“I really enjoy educating the younger generations on the local environment and how to help save the endangered flora,” he said.
“It’s a huge theme for me.
“I believe that in residential suburbs such as Tullamarine, green space is an invaluable addition to an area and its residents and should be a cherished resource.”
The library mural is one of ten in Hume.
