The artist behind a series of eye-catching street murals has spoken of her determination to bring “inspiring” artwork to all in the area.
The Flower Streets murals were commissioned by Liverpool City Council, working with Culture Liverpool. The project is being led by 'dot-art' an art gallery and consultancy based on Queen Avenue, just off Castle Street. Madeline said: “I’m used to speaking to people of varying ages. I like listening to people’s stories. We all go through different troubles in life. I’ve lived in lots of different places. I seem, most of the time, to bring out people’s good sides. I love the way art interests and surprises us in different ways, and brings a smile to our faces.”
The Flower Street murals fit this philosophy, with passers-by on Commercial Road able to admire the bold displays. It also chimes well with Madeline’s love of trees and organic forms, a common theme throughout her work. It remains unknown why the streets are named after flowers, with many houses in the area having small outdoor terraces rather than gardens. A number of theories have been put forward, including to help the postmen in the area deliver their mail and to contrast with the heavy industry that once lay opposite the streets.
