Called “Under the Jetty” it celebrates my first impression of jumping off the jetty when I first moved to the area in 2001. (PS I’ve painted wings into the design… can you see them?) Gratitudes: @building_busselton and @citybusselton for putting faith in me, for supporting local artists, and for paying a livable wage 🤗 The people of Busselton (around 70 of you!) who turned up to my community arts workshop and left their mark on my wall — ALL the sea… - [Lotsa Love Little House](https://anitarevel.com/lotsa-love/): Lotsa Love is a 33m2 tiny house in Cowaramup, close to town and oval. It is offered as a fully furnished self-contained home, as a medium-term rental* (ie between 3-6 months, flexible). Lotsa Love was curated by Anita, with a focus on medium-term rental — everything tenants will need to live comfortably for 3-6 months. This accommodation suits people moving to the area and just need somewhere while they get their bearings, or find something more permanent, or while they complete their own build. Lotsa Love has original art on most of her walls. Most of it is by Anita,… - [Mural: Rainbow Mural (Arcoíris)](https://anitarevel.com/rainbow-mural/): New mural, olé! With this South American colour palette vibes, and painted in a rainbow over my arched doors, it’s only fitting this rainbow mural be called, “Arcoíris”. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anita Revel Artist (@anita.revel.artist) This is the first time I used @procreate to design a mural, and I’ve gotta say, it didn’t turn out like I’d planned… it turned out better 😝 If anyone would like to coach me on how to paint a neutral beige boho mural I am a willing mentee. Is mentee a word?? This rainbow mural is on the… - [#DesignRevellion](https://anitarevel.com/designrevellion/): In 2021, I graduated as a draftsperson. (Yes, mid-life career change!) The role fulfills me entirely — my creative brain gets to fly with the possibilities of what a project could be. And my left brain gets a workout putting the design together (while mostly saying “WTF am I doing?!” ). Dad was a carpenter so I guess I inherited a love of construction from him. Feels cool to be carrying on a family tradition in some capacity. Anyway, here is my first ever design-and-build project. It’s a tiny chapel on wheels! Totally random, but something I’ve been dreaming of… - [Mural: embracing inclusivity @ The Glampavan](https://anitarevel.com/glampavan/): This mural on The Glampavan took me 6 months to paint, and it’s only the first coat! I had a lot of ducks to line up — weather conditions, limited site access (between guest check-out and check-in), and my availability — to get bits done. It’s a mural that celebrates equality: Gender, sexuality, age, race — and this feels like a good year to become more mindful and proactive about these things. This mural is one (small?!) show of support by way of art and expression. I hope you like where it is heading. (Who knows when the 2nd coat… - [Author: Simple Truths, an oracle card deck for mindfulness](https://anitarevel.com/simple-truths/): Mindfulness tool: This is a deck of zen-themed oracle cards designed to calm busy minds.

It is a collection of simple, practical and beautiful quotes, proverbs and expressions, that act as answers to questions posed… - [Author: Values & Virtues card deck](https://anitarevel.com/valuesandvirtues/): When I was growing up, no-one ever spoke about personal values in a conscious way. They were something that were just absorbed, or instilled, from the generation prior. But now, I’m noticing how evolved our kids are, compared to us at that age. They know how to identify emotions and label them. How to recognise and read situations, and respond to them appropriately. How to activate a resilience technique to get them through a tough patch… So, as the kids are pretty well equipped with emotional intelligence, I think we’re ready, to start talking about personal values. I designed this… - [Mural: Doll Museum in Esperance](https://anitarevel.com/mural-esperance/): This mural in Esperance responds to the client brief: Victorian dollhouse with trompe-l’œil window scenes, Australian botanicals loved by her mum, “Aunty Joan”, and in the colours of Esperance. Crikey luv, what do you call that? An artist’s dream challenge, that’s what it is. Trompe-l’œil (French for ‘deceive the eye’) is an artistic term for the realistic optical illusion of three-dimensional space and objects on a two-dimensional surface. Trompe l’œil effectively tricks the viewer into perceiving painted objects or spaces as real. The client asked for realistic window scenes, which give a little clue as to the interior — swathes… - [Mural: "Birds of a Feather" flamingo mural](https://anitarevel.com/flamingo-mural/): Picture this: you’re doom scrolling during lockdown and you see your mate painting her driveway and bricks bright and colourful colours. You spot a plain brick wall behind her. It happens to be her house, but never mind that — all you can visualise is two massive flamingos on that space. So you get in touch about painting a mural for her… and this is the result. Freya said of the spontaneous and whirlwind experience: So my friend Anita Revel saw me posting pics of painting the gate and wall etc, and offered so kindly to do a mural as… - [Exhibition: Colour Me India](https://anitarevel.com/colour-me-india/): The impact and lasting impressions of a recent trip to India inspired the theme for Anita Revel’s fourth solo exhibition: “Colour Me India” - [Mural: Cowara Dreaming](https://anitarevel.com/mural-cowara-dreaming/): Tourists are often led to believe Cowaramup is named after cows. Our little town was built on the back of the dairy industry, and our main street has plenty of fibreglass cows to celebrate this fact, so the mistake is easy to make. In reality, our town was named after a purple-crested lorikeet endemic to this area, known as Cowara in our local language. Mural Story in the Margaret River Mail A new public mural unveiled in the South West town of Cowaramup aims to create awareness behind the town’s name while providing another spot for snap-happy tourists to spread… - [Exhibition: Colour Pop](https://anitarevel.com/colour-pop/): Colour Pop is Anita Revel's third solo exhibition, at the Golden Jersey Cowaramup as part of the Margaret River Region Open Studios event 2018 - [Group Exhibition: Tartan Fleck](https://anitarevel.com/tartan-fleck/): Cowaramup artist celebrates Scottish history with “Leiper’s Road” limited edition print Artist Statement Scottish born Robert (Bob) Bruce Leiper, first settled in Cowaramup in 1932 during the Depression. He came via Esperance, and brought with him, wife Marion (Dempster), and 6-month-old son, William Edward (Bill) Leiper. Bill learned first-hand from his father, how to be of service to the community.  Bill said of his father: “He had a great desire to help people, particularly group settlers walking off properties. He helped them get loans, and getting others onto sustenance. He should have been a lawyer!” Together with his wife Marian,… - [Exhibition: Colour Me Happier](https://anitarevel.com/colour-me-happier/): Colour Me Happier is Anita Revel's second solo exhibition, held at the Margaret River Arts in February 2017 - [Exhibition: Colour Me Happy](https://anitarevel.com/colour-me-happy/): Anita Revel's first solo exhibition Feb 2016 at Cocoon Margaret River celebrating states of happiness through colour, words and symbolism - [Author: Affirmation Goddess oracle deck](https://anitarevel.com/affirmation-goddess/): Affirmations are very effective tools for making your thoughts positive and your actions constructive.
