The Mural's Story

The Mural's Story

Celebrating a local family in a piece of art.

In early 2018, local resident  Leila Baker was inspired to get her front wall decorated when her dad showed her the work of local artist Morganico. She wanted something to look like you could see through the wall to a colourful garden.

Some of the design represents the family:the pink owl represents daughter Rosie who died age four weeks and daisies represent the youngest child Daisy. Other parts of the design celebrate the family’s interest; the music tree celebrates the musicians in the family and the football tree in Crystal Palace team colours displays the family’s support for the local team.

It took Morganico just two days in June 2014 to complete the work.
