UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT

POMONA’S resident mural artist is at it again.

After painting a mural on the wall of her shop building late last year, This Bird owner, artist Tia Carrigan, has painted a colourful mural on the side of the Pomona IGA building.

And it was no small feat.

With the space being 60m long and 7.2m high, Tia said she worked 10-hour days for two weeks to paint twothirds of the space.

“I had to stop at two-thirds because I ran out of time but I might come back to it down the track and finish it off.”

Tia said the joint project came about when she asked the IGA to paint the wall.

Pomona IGA Group Manager, Romeo Bordignon, said they had seen Tia’s mural and when she approached them they were excited to make the blank wall of their building into a work of art.

“We’re very happy with it. It fits into the character of the town. Everybody who comes into the shop says they love it.”

The mural, in Tia’s trademark bright colours, depicts birds, bees, fruit and flowers, and is a nod to the Pomona community.

“The mural is based around the local community. The passionflower is for the community’s passion; the bees for the community aspect and working together; the fruit and the bees represent connecting with our gardens and our abundance with the growth of food, which links with the IGA; and the fruit doves because I love birds.”

The eye-catching mural can be seen from Reserve Street.

This is Tia’s second mural for Pomona – and it sounds like it won’t be her last.

“There are some parties interested so potentially there could be more murals in town in the future,” Tia said.
