Archie Roach and Banjo Clarke Mural

MADELEINE PETERS AND TRISH MCKEAN

For many people, a family portrait involves itchy jumpers and a grey cloth backdrop.

For Year 11 student Trish McKean, her family portrait saw her work with Madeleine Peters to create a public mural for everyone to enjoy.

This artwork depicts two south-west icons: Henry “Banjo” Clarke and Archie Roach, who are Trish’s grandfather and second cousin respectively.

The mural was completed in 2015 as part of the inaugural Aus Music Festival.
