About the Mural

In this mural, both traditional painting techniques and more contemporary street art styles are combined to create a ‘Tree of Life – Heart of the Community’ representing the resident and their family and the wider communities roots in Old Trafford from different backgrounds/faiths coming together to blossom and celebrate each person’s uniqueness in a beautiful way.

About the Artists

Donna Michelle and Lynda are both Visual Artists who use a variety of mediums, textures and materials to create beauty in everyday life and situations. They are both studio managers at OT creative space.

“The resident is very passionate about family, everything she stood for is encapsulated in the tree. The kids are very connected to the house, being rooted, family connection, inheritance, a realistic tree from a drawing they had done, brought the tree to life”

Donna Michelle

Community Inspiration

“The heart as a symbol of love in community, but it also reminds me of the covid wall in London, the red hearts, it dates it in this time.”
