MURAL IN 'THE MALL', HEIDELBERG WEST

The other day, we found a lovely mural in Heidelberg West in "The Mall". It is a design of polo players that is very much reminiscent of Persian miniatures found in manuscript books. The artist is Ronak Taher, an Iranian-Australian.

This is the artist's bio from her website:
"Ronak Taher is an Iranian-Australian artist born in 1984. She finished her bachelor of Graphic Design at the University of Tehran, also holds a Master of Illustration and Animation from the Azad University of Tehran.
