This Mural is right in front of AAD gallery located in the Nurses Walk (same Building as the Harbour Rocks Hotel). Come and take a selfie and enjoy art & culture in The Rocks. Theme is based on ‘Spring’ to coincide with Spring season in Australia. By using a common butterfly motif and cut-outs, the mural showcases happiness and rebirth. Butterflies are deep and powerful representations of life. They are a symbolic of endurance, change, hope, and life. That would signify with all of us trying to bring back life to people post-covid.

Shazia specialises in figurative art, sculptures and urban paintings. She has exhibited her work internationally and her work hangs in private collections in Australia, USA, and UK.
She will be participating in the Florence Biennale in October 2015. Working in watercolours, acrylics and mixed media, Shazia's recent work explores the infinite expressiveness of the subjects. "Art and design is something I’m very passionate about. Use of colour, shape, texture and light defines my style in capturing the personality and emotions of the subject. Life study is a focus in most of my sculptures and paintings. I also enjoy painting urban scenes. I love the spontaneity of watercolours. I’ve worked with all traditional and new media but I predominantly work in watercolours. Although I don’t want to limit myself with any certain style or technique, I enjoy all mediums and techniques." Some of her paintings are available to purchase online here Contacts us to enquire about painting and portrait commissions

I am a self taught mixed media artist for the most part. I have been doing mixed media since 2012. I fell in love with it in that year when I was going through some difficult situations in my life. It proved to be very therapeutic and rewarding. I now teach others the techniques to create in my style of mixed media and I find it to be so much fun to see others enjoy it like myself. I have been published this year in Incite 3: The Art of Storytelling and am currently working on be published in other publications as well.
My art is about line and movement, colour and emotion, beauty and positivity and telling a story in the abstract form. I have not undertaken study in art, as I am passionate about developing my own original style and methods. I am proud of my art. I hope you enjoy it also.
Using something as mundane as paint to capture the beauty of nature is such a privilege and challenge that l whenever I come close to doing that...it absolutely feel wonderfu.! I love to use colours, shapes, textures in my work to create a painting that engages the audience deeply whilst exuding positive energy.
"I am a self taught art maker and have been drawing and painting most of my life.
I was chosen the winner of the Local Artist Prize at the Maroochydore Arts Festival in 1997. I have taught art and sold many artworks over the last 25 years to people from many countries. I decided to become a mature age student and am currently finishing a BA in Fine Art through the Curtin University of WA but reside in QLD."  Thanks for your support in 2015.

I have been interested in art, in colour, in design, in making a mess, since I was little. The best part of story books were always the pictures. From drawing in the sand, to drawing in chalk on the driveway art has always been a constant in my life in one form or another.
I studied art all through high school and was accepted into an arts degree in university but decided to defer and go travelling instead (who wouldn't :) I lived in the UK for many years and painted and exhibited my work in galleries in Glasgow. From here I sold pieces to Europe, the UK and Japan. Returning to Australia I discovered many other mediums...in particular polymer clay and mosaics. My polymer clay work has been displayed in art magazines and my stained glass mosaic work has travelled around the world in the form of donated pieces for auctions...in particular for Doctors Without Borders and donations for community projects such as schools and hospitals in the USA, and to the Steve Irwin mosaic memorial at Australia Zoo in Queensland. Now I mostly spend my time painting in acrylic and mixed media. 
“She couldn’t keep her colours inside the lines. So she drew new lines.”
I am inspired by the glamour of the 20s and 30s, the fantastic street art in Perth WA, vintage Vogue magazine covers, silent movies of the 1920s and fashion illustrations. I also enjoy painting animals and creating art for children. I am influenced by the works of Modigliani, Kees Van Dongen, Rene Gruau, Rennie Mackintosh, Picasso, Sonia Delauney, Malcolm Liepke, Chagall and Jolomo amongst others. I am also very interested in Modernism, Figurative art, Art Deco, the Naive Art movement and Cubism.
