About the Artist

“It’s been a really fun project to work on and it’s been great to hear all the positive feedback from the locals. The children of Old Trafford inspired me to create the mural on Gladys Street. There were some beautiful images and designs created by them and it was a pleasure to see the breadth of thought that came out of the community workshops.”
