About This Project

Sasha Heath is a contemporary mural artist who specialises in flora-based wall paintings in calming, lush colour palettes that invite viewers in from a distance. Her mural celebrates the iconic and  picturesque Merri Creek Reserve, which flanks the meandering Merri Creek River.

Sasha’s connection with EBV runs deep, as her very first Melbourne home was situated right next to the EBV site. She has fond memories of exploring these surroundings back in 2010, and during the challenging lockdowns, the soothing Merri Creek Trail became her sanctuary, and she delighted in spotting various bird species along the river, which she noted down. This has been her source of inspiration behind these concept ideas.

Her hope is that by sharing her experiences and observations, others will be inspired to venture out and explore these beautiful areas and develop a sense of familiarity with their own backyard. By embracing the diverse native birdlife in these areas, much like the birds themselves have made this place their home, we can forge a deeper connection and belonging to this remarkable community.
