Brightening the laneway that links River Street and Winton Lane, Ballina Coastal Flora is a vibrant mural by Australian artist Tom Gerrard.
Painting murals gives Gerrard the chance to connect with local communities and draw inspiration from the people and places around him. For this piece, he chose a light, uplifting colour palette to bring warmth to the laneway and incorporated tall, coastal-inspired forms that rise above passersby — echoing the flora that shapes Ballina’s coastal landscape.
Tom Gerrard is a celebrated Australian painter whose work explores suburban life and the natural world. Known for his bold, graphic style and signature black outlines, Gerrard’s murals can be found around the globe — from London and Berlin to Quito and Rio de Janeiro. His works have been exhibited internationally and are held in the National Gallery of Australia and the National Gallery of Victoria.
