About the Artist:

Imogen completed 'Kingfisher's Flight' towards the end of 2023, what has now become an iconic entry statement for the Geraldton Regional Art Gallery building. This community mural is the second part of this project, providing the opportunity for the community to get involved in the mural process, and learn from a professional Public Artist.

"I love creating works that puts life and energy into a site, and thrive working with clients and the community to produce work that represents them and speaks to the soul. As an artist I feel it is my job to show how people feel through painting, using my skills to simply spread joy and remind people of what is important." - Imogen Palmer
