Acclaimed wildlife artist Jimmi Buscombe will spend three days in Kyabram next week after accepting an Artists in Residence commission at Warramunda Village. He will work closely with residents and staff as part of a major new art project, aiming to bring the beauty of the region’s birdlife indoors for the aged care residents to enjoy.
Jimmi is a Warrnambool-based artist who is known across Australia for his highly detailed wildlife murals. Since 2018, he has completed over 30 major public art projects and his work has been recognised nationally.
The visit is part of a wider redevelopment of Warramunda Village, which will see the village expand from 82 to 130 beds over the next five years. The project will include a series of custom-designed, large-scale artworks inspired by native fauna and flora unique to the region.
