your trusted experts in
large scale mural painting and public art

At The Art of Wall, we specialize in creating impactful, large-scale murals that resonate with communities, enhance public spaces, and tell meaningful stories. Founded in 2012 by Leia Sidery, our creative service combines artistic expertise in graphic design, illustration, and painting. Through her vision and craftsmanship, Leia has transformed blank walls into vibrant pieces of art, merging digital skills with a deep love for traditional painting.

The Art of Wall was founded in 2012 by Leia Sidery, a professional muralist with over a decade of experience delivering high-quality mural painting services across Australia. With a background in graphic design, illustration, and fine art, Leia brings a multi-disciplinary approach to each project—merging technical precision with an intuitive and open collaboration process.

As a mural artist, Leia is best known for her thoughtful and skilled interpretation of others’ work, helping artists, architects, and curators bring their creative visions to life at scale. Whether working independently or leading a curated team of muralists, artists, and tradespeople, she tailors each approach to suit the scale and complexity of the job.

Leia has partnered with respected organisations such as Cultural Capital, Tilt Industrial Design, Creative Road, and Curatorial & Co., and collaborated with acclaimed colour artist Sonia van de Haar (Lymesmith) on projects including Arc Angel in Newtown and Between Mountains in Canberra—a monumental 440 sqm mural spanning seven storeys.

Recent collaborations with artist Jo Breneger (Indigo Jo) have seen Leia paint large-scale public murals featuring the work of celebrated First Nations artists including Dennis Golding, Carmen Glynn-Braun (Re-Right Collective), and Goompi Ugerabah. Leia has also mentored emerging artist Tiarna Herczeg, supporting her through the process of creating her first public artworks.

Driven by a belief in the lasting social impact of murals and public art, Leia approaches every project with professionalism, deep listening, and a respect for the stories and communities involved. Her goal is to create powerful, place-specific murals that spark connection, reflect diverse identities, and enhance the visual and cultural fabric of public spaces.

The Art of Wall acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we work and create. In Brookvale, we pay our respects to the Gayamaygal people of the Guringai Nation, and across the greater Sydney region, we acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation and the many other First Nations communities whose Country we travel through and paint on.

We honour their ongoing connection to land, waters, culture, and storytelling—and extend our respects to Elders past and present.
