Kerry Williams reached out to us in the early part of 2014 to put in a massive request of a design to be installed in the lobby of Echuca Regional Health in Echuca, Australia. This design idea was inspired by Vera Cooper, a wonderful member of the Yorta Yorta people. We recreated her design using our multi-layered stenciling system and Ameripolish Classic Dyes. With a team of 5 we laid out close to 2000 sq.ft of stencil covering a little over 1000 sq.ft of floor in 4 days, leaving the hospital staff and our clients extremely happy. We were so thrilled to be honored to help bring Vera's art to life on such a huge scale. A big thank you to Jack, Coops, Kerry, Bronwyn, Vera, Michelle, the entire Echuca Hospital crew, and the Yorta Yorta people, for being so hospitable and caring. We had a great time and felt very welcomed.
