Ms Gottgens finished off a brand new mural for the Whitton Community Hall on the weekend, but that is just the beginning with more set to come.

Two more will follow on two other buildings in the town, as well as Ms Gottgens also being commissioned to create a huge sculpture that will be erected on the town's water tower of a soldier looking over and protecting the community.

The idea behind these projects is to give residents of the shire, as well as tourists, a reason to stop in Whitton and spend time looking at the work, as well as admiring what else is on offer in the town.

With funding secured for the work, Ms Gottgens has been loving getting the creative juices flowing.

It also isn't the first time her work has been a centrepiece in Whitton with a public art piece already available in the town's park for people to view.

The brief for this first mural was to create a 1920s art deco theme that showed people as if they were attending the hall for a dance.

"So all of the characters are from the 1920s era ... I'm really happy with how it's all looking," Ms Gottgens said.

"The next mural will be on a shopfront just down from here the brief for that one is to recreate an old mechanical garage.

"The third will be across from the post office and will feature more of a farm-scape look."

Ms Gottgens was particularly looking forward to creating those pieces, but also the soldier sculpture.

"I do feel like I have a bit of a connection to Whitton now, but also Leeton because I created other artwork there as well as part of the Lyrics, Landscapes and Lintels project," she said.

"I've been able to create many nice relationships with people in the community, which is great.

"Hopefully this encourages people to come out to Whitton or stop here on their way to something like the (Whitton) Malt House)."

Work on the remaining murals and sculpture will begin shortly.
