Passing the Brush: Walls That Speak – Art, Stories, and Message with Garth Jankovic

In this episode of Stars and Stories, MJ is joined by Garth Jankovic, a Townsville-based artist who’s travelling through remote communities to teach mural-making from the ground up — and right now, he’s in Doomadgee, working alongside artists to pass on the skills, stories, and process of painting big.

From designing and scaling up the artwork, to prepping, painting, and finishing the wall — Garth is teaching artists how to master the full process themselves, building real skills that can lead to creative work and income.

“The more I journey the more I realise the power of Art and how it can transform energy, spaces and tell stories. One Love. In a world gone mad, we paint more, dance more, and make more music. Peace.”
