THE Maleny Mural at 25 Maple Street, created earlier this year by local artist Kate Kazony, has quickly become a vibrant landmark for residents and visitors to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.
Now, the striking artwork has been given new life as a series of greeting cards, thanks to a collaboration between philanthropist Marek Malter, Kate Kazony, and local photographer Steve Swaine.
Proceeds from the cards will directly support Speak Up Now Stop Domestic and Family Violence, a Maleny-based organisation helping people impacted by domestic and family violence.
Val France from Speak Up Now said the community’s response had been overwhelming.
“Our initial run of nine designs sold quickly, and after many requests, we’ve now added a Platypus design to the collection. We are so grateful to Marek, Kate and Steve for their generosity and vision.”
The full set now features ten unique cards highlighting Australian flora and fauna captured from the mural. They are available at Rosetta Books, the Maleny Visitors Information Centre, Maleny Additions, or directly from Kate at the mural site.
Cards can also be ordered by emailing speakupnowstopdomesticviolence@gmail.com.
The cards are a beautiful way to share Maleny while supporting a vital local cause.
