Jenna Weind (IDEA Grad 2025 Cohort 1) was commissioned to do a mural this summer.

“I was commissioned to do a mural with full creative freedom for the size of 12’3” w and 8’1” t. I took around 16 hours to complete, I used chalk markers and chalk paint.” writes Jenna.

Check out this story including the original sketch and some process work.

The project was for Winston Cafe in Lower Lonsdale. Its a brunch/dinner restaurant where Jenna has been working with for a while. She wanted to include elements of the brand/feeling that Winston tries to evoke. All of the imagery is from the restaurant and based on elements found in their menu. For example the flowers are elderflower, and there is mint and lemon which are key cocktail elements there. Jenna wanted to create a fresh and flowing visual that incorporated all of these elements.
