THE Janine Tonkin™ Proffessional COMMUNITY MURAL FRAMEWORK
WILD, WONDER & Bloom™ Professional MURAL Methodology
WILD, WONDER & Bloom™ MURAL Placemaking Framework
The Original Professional Community Mural Methodology by Janine Tonkin™
Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ is Janine Tonkin's original community mural methodology that combines creative consultation, nature inspired design, artistic storytelling and guided community participation to create lasting public artwork that reflects the identity of a place and the people who live there.
Where Community, Nature, Inspiration and Creativity Bloom Together
Creating places people don't simply pass by... but return to, connect with and proudly call their own.
The Janine Tonkin Framework
Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ is Janine Tonkin's original evidence based creative placemaking framework for designing community murals that strengthen connections between people, place and nature. Developed through years of artistic practice, public engagement and community collaboration, the framework provides a structured yet adaptable approach to creating meaningful public art that reflects the identity of each location while encouraging creativity, participation and long term community ownership.
At its core, the framework recognises that successful public art is about far more than the finished mural. It considers how people experience a space, how creativity can build confidence and connection, how the surrounding environment influences design and how carefully planned participation can create lasting social value. Every project is shaped by its landscape, community, wildlife, history and opportunities for engagement, ensuring no two murals are ever the same.
Drawing upon Janine's established artistic language and years of professional experience, Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ combines original artwork, environmental integration, guided community participation, hidden discoveries and layered storytelling into a cohesive methodology. The result is artwork that encourages curiosity, celebrates local identity and creates places people return to, care for and feel proud to call their own.
Every Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ community mural is designed to create meaningful opportunities for participation. Guided by Janine's creative framework, community members are invited to contribute in a way that is accessible, enjoyable and integrated into the overall artistic vision. This collaborative approach fosters ownership, strengthens community connections and creates a lasting sense of pride in the finished artwork.

CASE STUDY
WILD & WONDER™
A Community Mural for Campion House, Priestwood, Jocks Lane, Bracknell
Commissioned by Abri and created by mural artist Janine Tonkin, the Wild & Wonder™ Mural transforms an everyday wall at Campion House in Bracknell into a vibrant celebration of nature, community and belonging. Inspired by local voices, the surrounding landscape and The Janine Tonkin Framework the mural is designed to encourage curiosity, spark conversation and create a lasting legacy for everyone who calls this place home.
A Community Mural for Campion House
The Wild & Wonder™ Mural was commissioned by Abri as part of a vision to transform an ordinary wall at Campion House in Bracknell into an inspiring public space that reflects the identity of the local community. Rather than creating a mural that could belong anywhere, the ambition was to create something that could only belong here.
Designed and painted by Janine Tonkin, the mural celebrates the unique relationship between people, place, her artistic framework and nature. Rich with woodland wildlife, native flowers, fungi, local flora and fauna, mandalas, hearts, colourful homes and hidden discoveries, the artwork captures the beauty of Bracknell's natural environment while recognising the people who live alongside it every day.
Public art has the power to do far more than brighten a wall. It can encourage people to pause, explore and reconnect with the spaces around them. It can inspire conversations between neighbours, create memorable experiences for families and become a source of pride within a community. The Wild & Wonder™ Mural was created with exactly this purpose in mind.
Today, the mural has become a recognised local landmark. Visitors stop to photograph it, children search for hidden details and residents proudly point out the flowers they helped paint. Throughout the seasons, real wildflowers continue to bloom in front of the wall, naturally extending the painted landscape and creating a beautiful connection between art and the living environment extending what community really means.
The result is more than a mural. It is a celebration of Campion House, the surrounding community (Both humans and nature) and the natural beauty that makes Bracknell such a special place to live.
A MURAL THAT THE COMMUNITY HELPED CREATE
Every meaningful mural begins with listening.
The Story
Every meaningful project begins with a conversation.
When Abri approached Janine Tonkin about creating a mural for Campion House, the discussion was never simply about decorating a wall. It was about creating something that people could genuinely connect with. Something that reflected the character of the local area, celebrated its wildlife and encouraged residents to feel proud of the place they call home. Planning started in August 2024.
From the beginning, community engagement formed an important part of the project. Residents were invited to share ideas, memories and thoughts about the environment around them. Conversations highlighted a shared appreciation for Bracknell's green spaces, woodland wildlife and the sense of peace that nature brings to everyday life.
Every Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ community mural begins with listening. Working collaboratively, Janine Tonkin™ and Abri's Community Investment Team engaged directly with residents to understand the stories, wildlife and local features they wanted represented, ensuring the creative vision was shaped by the community before the first brushstroke was painted.
These conversations became the creative starting point.
Rather than reproducing individual suggestions, Janine carefully explored the themes that emerged. Wildlife, flowers, woodland habitats, colour, hope and community were thoughtfully interpreted and transformed into an original composition designed specifically for Campion House.
Every mural tells its own story because every community is different. The role of Janine the artist is not simply to collect ideas but to listen, observe and creatively interpret them into a cohesive piece of public art that feels authentic to its location.
The Wild & Wonder™ Mural stands as a reflection of that journey, where community inspiration became original artwork through thoughtful design, artistic experience and a deep appreciation for the natural world.
More Than a Mural
Behind every successful mural is a carefully considered creative process.
The Wild & Wonder™ Mural is one of the earliest major public examples of Wild Wonder & Bloom™, Janine Tonkin's original evidence based creative placemaking framework for designing meaningful community murals inspired by people, place and nature.
Rather than beginning with paint, the process begins with understanding. Every community has its own identity, its own stories and its own connection to the landscape. By taking time to listen, observe and explore these unique qualities, each mural becomes far more than a decorative feature. It becomes a visual story that belongs to the community it represents.
While every Wild & Wonder™ mural is different, the philosophy remains the same. Community voices inspire the journey. Nature provides the connection. Original artistic interpretation brings everything together to create a mural that could not simply be recreated somewhere else.
The Campion House mural demonstrates how meaningful public art can celebrate local identity while creating beautiful spaces that encourage wellbeing, curiosity, relationships and lasting community pride.

From Listening to Artwork
Every Wild & Wonder™ mural begins long before the first brushstroke.
The creative journey follows a thoughtful process that places people and place at the heart of every design.
Listen
The journey begins by listening to the people who know the place best. Conversations with residents, community groups and project partners help reveal what makes each location unique.
↓
Discover
Patterns begin to emerge. Local wildlife, favourite green spaces, shared memories and community values help shape the creative direction of the project.
↓
Interpret
This is where artistic experience becomes essential.
Rather than copying ideas individually, they are thoughtfully interpreted into one original visual story. Composition, colour, movement, wellbeing, inspiration and symbolism are carefully and mindfully balanced to ensure every element works together as a cohesive piece of art.
↓
Design
Concept sketches are developed before evolving into a detailed mural design created specifically for its location. Every mural is unique, reflecting the character of the community that inspired it.
↓
Create
The design is brought to life on the wall using professional mural techniques, transforming an everyday space into a vibrant public artwork.
↓
Belong
The completed mural becomes part of the community itself. It creates opportunities for conversation, discovery and connection while encouraging people to feel a renewed sense of pride in the place they share.
Resident feedback inspired several design details, including a local fox, swifts and subtle spiral motifs influenced by Vincent van Gogh's work alongside historic seasonal bluebell landscapes.
Resident feedback inspired the addition of hidden bees, thoughtfully integrated into the mural as one of its many discoveries
alongside the tiny snail.
Resident feedback identified the stag as an important local symbol, inspiring a design that celebrates Bracknell's woodland and historic apple orchards.
Resident conversations inspired the owl, stars and historic apple orchard, celebrating local wildlife, community stories and Bracknell's heritage through a cohesive design.
Community Voices Shape the Design
Every Wild & Wonder™ mural is inspired by the people who know a place best.
For the Campion House project, local residents were invited to share their ideas about what they loved most about their community and the surrounding environment. Their conversations revealed a deep appreciation for Bracknell's green spaces, woodland wildlife and the simple beauty found in nature.
These shared ideas became the inspiration for the mural.
Residents spoke about wildlife, flowers and the natural landscapes that make Priestwood in Bracknell unique. Woodland animals, birds and native planting emerged as recurring themes, helping to shape the overall creative direction of the artwork.
This stage is an important part of Janine Tonkin's creative process. Community consultation is not about producing a mural by committee or illustrating individual requests. Instead, it provides inspiration that is thoughtfully interpreted into one original artistic composition.
Every element within the Wild & Wonder™ Mural was carefully considered to create balance, movement and harmony across the entire wall. The owl, fox, kingfisher, butterflies, flowers, mushrooms, stars, the sun, the apple blossoms, colourful homes and surrounding landscape were all brought together through Janine's artistic interpretation and her own creative framework, creating a mural that celebrates both the local environment and the community that inspired it.
The result is a piece of public art that feels authentic to Campion House while remaining an original work created specifically for this location.
The Design Journey
Behind every finished mural is months of planning, creative development and careful decision making.
Once the community consultation had been completed, the ideas gathered were explored through research, sketching and composition. Every section of the wall was designed to guide the eye naturally across the artwork, creating moments of discovery while ensuring the mural remained balanced from every viewing angle.
The composition evolved through a series of design stages, beginning with early detailed concept sketches that carefully considered colour, scale and the existing architecture of the wall before developing into a digital design.
Each element was deliberately positioned to create a visual journey.
Wildlife appears naturally throughout the landscape rather than existing as isolated illustrations. Colour flows gently across the mural, linking woodland habitats, flowering meadows and the surrounding community into one connected story.
The final and only design was created specifically for the proportions of the Campion House wall, ensuring the artwork feels as though it belongs within the space rather than simply sitting on top of it.
Following approval, the wall was carefully prepared before painting began. Over many days, the design gradually emerged, layer by layer, transforming a plain brick wall into a vibrant piece of public art that now welcomes residents and visitors throughout the year.

Interactive Community Painting
One of the most meaningful moments of the Wild & Wonder™ Mural took place after much of the painting had already been completed.
Rather than simply inviting the community to watch the mural being created, residents were invited to become part of the finished artwork itself. Community participants were invited to contribute guided artistic elements that had been intentionally incorporated into the original mural design by Janine Tonkin
During the Community Reveal Day 13 September 2025, people of all ages were encouraged to paint their own flower, mushroom or tiny creature along the base of the mural. Flowers, fungi and tiny creatures were individually painted by a member of the community, creating a permanent, lasting and forever reminder that this mural belongs not only to the place but also to the people who helped shape its story. Using her own creative framework, Janine first established the key elements of the mural, providing inspiration and gentle guidance for residents as they added their own flowers, mushrooms and tiny creatures. This ensured every contribution became part of a cohesive artwork while allowing each participant to leave their own unique lasting forever mark.
No two flowers are the same.
Each one represents an individual contribution while together forming a colourful meadow that celebrates diversity, creativity and connection.
This simple but meaningful and mindfull activity transformed the unveiling into something much more than a traditional reveal.
Families painted alongside neighbours, conversations were shared across generations, aspiring artists found the confidence to express themselves and individuals who simply loved being creative enjoyed the opportunity to take part. The event also welcomed members of a local adult organisation supporting persons with learning disabilities and their families, staff and friends, ensuring the experience was accessible, inclusive and open to everyone. Together, each contribution became part of a shared artwork and a lasting legacy for them and the community. Residents left knowing that a small part of them would remain on the wall for years to come.
For some, it was the chance to fulfil a dream they never thought possible, contributing to a professional public mural. By making the creative process welcoming and accessible, the event gave people of all ages and abilities the confidence to express themselves and become part of something lasting.
Today, those community flowers, tiny bugs and fungi have taken on an even deeper meaning. As real wildflowers have naturally grown in front of the mural, the painted flowers and living landscape now blend together, beautifully connecting art with nature. The result is an everchanging scene where the boundary between the mural and the surrounding environment becomes delightfully blurred.
The community celebration formed an integral part of the project, ensuring the completed mural became a place for people to gather, connect and celebrate together. Collaboratively supported by Abri, the event transformed the mural reveal into a memorable community experience. Families enjoyed complimentary refreshments, children's activities, mural creative workshop, face painting provided by a local artist and gift bags, creating a welcoming environment for people of all ages from the community. The celebration encouraged neighbours to meet, conversations to flourish and residents to experience the artwork together before adding their own flowers, fungi and tiny creatures to the mural. By combining creativity, participation and celebration, the project strengthened community connections and created lasting memories alongside a lasting piece of public art.
To commemorate the occasion, Janine created an exclusive colouring page inspired by the mural's owl, produced especially for the event. Each signed edition included a Certificate of Authenticity, giving residents a unique keepsake to take home, colour and treasure as a lasting reminder of their involvement in the project.
Wherever possible, Janine collaborated with local businesses and contractors, ensuring the wider investment generated additional value for the local community as well as the finished artwork.

Local MP Peter Swallow joined the community celebration by invitation, meeting residents before adding his own painted mushroom to the mural with guidance from Janine.
This sense of participation, empowerment and belonging is central to Janine Tonkin's approach to community murals. Rather than creating artwork for a community, the aim is to create meaningful opportunities for people to feel connected to the spaces they share while ensuring the finished mural remains a professionally designed and original work of art.
My deepest thanks to ABRI for believing in both me and the Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ methodology. By championing an independent artist, you created an opportunity for the community to come together, shape something meaningful and leave a lasting legacy where community voices, creativity, connection and belonging are woven into every brushstroke.
Thank you to the entire Abri Community Investment Team for embracing the vision with such enthusiasm and care. Your passion, encouragement and commitment to the community made this project so much more than a mural. it became a shared celebration of creativity, connection and belonging.

One of the most enjoyable parts of the Wild & Wonder™ Mural is that there is always something new to discover. Designed to reward curiosity, the artwork is filled with thoughtful details that encourage people to slow down, explore and return again and again.
Hidden Discoveries
The Wild & Wonder™ Mural is designed to reward curiosity.
The longer you spend looking, the more you begin to notice.
Hidden discoveries are an intentional design principle within the Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ Framework. Rather than creating artwork that is experienced in a single moment, carefully integrated details encourage ongoing engagement, rewarding observation, conversation, repeat visits and a deeper connection with the space over time.
Throughout the mural, wildlife, woodland planting, seasonal references and smaller discoveries are incorporated into the wider composition without competing with the primary artwork. Elements including the hedgehog, fox, spider, snail, birds, mushrooms, butterflies, hidden pumpkins and Christmas tree contribute to a layered experience that appeals to different ages, interests and ways of engaging with public art.
The placement of these discoveries also creates opportunities for interaction. Visitors naturally share observations, compare what they have found and encourage others to look more closely. Questions such as whether the hedgehog and fox are hiding amongst the flowers painted by the community or within the real wildflowers growing in front of the wall demonstrate how the artwork extends beyond the painted surface into the surrounding landscape.
Seasonal integration forms another important part of the framework. Existing blossom trees, naturally emerging wildflowers, autumn planting and winter conditions were all considered during the design process, allowing the mural to respond to its environment throughout the year. Rather than remaining visually static, the relationship between the artwork and its setting continually changes, providing new perspectives and encouraging repeat engagement.
This approach has contributed to the mural becoming a recognised community destination. Families return to continue their search for hidden discoveries, visitors photograph the artwork from changing viewpoints throughout the seasons and the mural has been recognised as a point of interest within the Pokémon GO app and shared on parenting platforms, further increasing local engagement and encouraging new visitors to experience the space.
Within the Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ Framework, hidden discoveries are not decorative additions. They are a deliberate engagement strategy that encourages curiosity, strengthens community interaction, supports placemaking and creates lasting relationships between people, place and public art.
A Lasting Legacy
The completion of the Wild & Wonder™ Mural marked the beginning of a new chapter for Campion House.
What was once an ordinary wall has become a vibrant public artwork that encourages people to stop, look closer and reconnect with the world around them. It has become a place where neighbours meet, families pause to explore together and visitors discover something new every time they return.
The mural continues to evolve alongside the landscape that inspired it. Throughout the seasons, wildflowers grow naturally in front of the wall, softening the boundary between the painted meadow and the living environment. Spring brings fresh colour, summer fills the space with life, autumn introduces warm golden tones and winter reveals new perspectives through the changing landscape.
Rather than existing separately from nature, the mural has become part of it.
This connection between artwork, wellbeing, community and environment reflects one of the core principles behind Janine Tonkin's creative practice: celebrating the beauty that already exists within a place while encouraging people to notice it in new ways.
The impact of the mural extends beyond the artwork itself. It has become a place for photographs, conversations, exploration and shared experiences. Residents continue to recognise the flowers they painted, children search for hidden discoveries and visitors return to see what they can spot next. It brings smiles and joy to the community as they drive past or walk their dogs.
The Wild & Wonder™ Mural demonstrates how meaningful public art can strengthen community identity, encourage wellbeing and create lasting connections between people, place and nature.

A Mural made from Love, with so much Love.
An Original Artistic Language
Although every Wild & Wonder™ mural is unique, each one is connected through Janine Tonkin's distinctive artistic style and creative vision.
Across her original paintings, prints, apparell, community murals, colouring books, affirmation cards, calendars and future collections, familiar elements appear again and again. Flowers bloom throughout her work as symbols of growth, hope, inspiration and individuality. Mushrooms quietly emerge beneath woodland scenes, celebrating the hidden life that supports every thriving ecosystem.
Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ draws upon the distinctive creative visual language that runs throughout Janine's original artwork. Wildlife, birds, insects and animals including deer, owls, wolves, elephants, eagles, dragonflies, butterflies, fish and so mush more, are carefully selected to create connection, curiosity and storytelling. Alongside these, the natural elements of earth, air, fire and water, together with mandalas, vibrant colour and subtle chakra influences, create layered environments that encourage exploration, emotional connection and a sense of place. Each element has a purpose, contributing to an artwork that can be enjoyed on many different levels and reveal new discoveries over time.
These recurring details are not decorative additions.
They form part of Janine's original artistic language, developed over many years through her wider body of work. Each new project builds upon this creative foundation while responding to the unique identity of the community it has been created for.
The Campion House mural demonstrates the flexibility of Janine's artistic language within the Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ Framework. Its visual identity is built from the same creative foundations that underpin her wider body of work, yet every element has been carefully adapted to reflect the site's landscape, local wildlife, community aspirations and seasonal changes. Rather than repeating familiar motifs, the framework enables each mural to develop its own identity while remaining recognisably part of Janine's evolving creative practice. Through layered storytelling, hidden discoveries and meaningful opportunities for participation, the artwork creates lasting connections between people, place and nature.
Together, these principles form a recognisable artistic language and creative methodology, ensuring every Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ project is both unmistakably Janine Tonkin and uniquely shaped by the people, place and stories it has been created to celebrate.

The Journey Began Long Before Wild, Wonder & Bloom™
The Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ Framework has evolved through years of creative practice, community engagement and public participation.
One of the earliest examples dates back to July 2018 at Hare Hatch Sheeplands Garden Centre, where Janine invited children to help create a large collaborative mural. Even in these early stages, the foundations of the framework were already emerging: creating accessible opportunities for people to participate, building confidence through guided creativity and transforming painting into a shared community experience.
Since then, the methodology has continued to develop through each new project, becoming increasingly refined, structured and adaptable for communities, housing associations, councils, schools, charities and public spaces.
Today's Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ Framework builds upon years of practical experience, continually evolving while remaining true to its core purpose: helping people connect with creativity, nature, place and one another.

Behind Every Wall is a Framework
The Wild & Wonder™ Mural is one example of Wild Wonder Bloom™, Janine Tonkin's original community mural framework.
Rather than beginning with paint, the framework begins with people.
It brings together community conversations, creative consultation, environmental inspiration and original artistic interpretation to create murals that reflect the identity of a place while remaining entirely unique to the communities they represent.
Every project follows the same philosophy.
Listen deeply.
Discover what makes a place special.
Interpret those stories through original art.
Create opportunities for people to belong.
The result is more than a mural.
It is a lasting legacy that celebrates people, nature and place through meaningful public art.
The Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ Professional Governance Framework
The Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ Framework is a professional creative methodology and governance framework for designing, delivering and protecting projects through structured artistic practice, ethical participation, safeguarding and intellectual property standards.
Ethical Creative Participation Principle
Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ is founded on the principle that meaningful community participation should never compromise the creative rights of those taking part. Community members, including children and vulnerable adults, are invited to contribute guided artistic elements within an original mural designed by Janine Tonkin. This methodology intentionally distinguishes between consultation, participation and artistic authorship.
Janine Tonkin Art does not reproduce, enlarge or recreate original artwork created by participants as part of projects or a the commissioned mural unless a separate written agreement and all necessary permissions have been obtained. This protects the intellectual property of participants, supports safeguarding best practice and maintains clear authorship of the commissioned artwork.
Where participants create original drawings, paintings or designs during engagement activities, these may instead form part of exhibitions, displays or project documentation, allowing individual creativity to be celebrated while preserving the integrity of the commissioned mural.
Create Something You can Proudly call its Own.
Ethical Creative Practice
Wild, Wonder & Bloom™ is committed to creating beautiful work with care and consideration for people and the environment. Wherever practical, Janine Tonkin Art seeks to make responsible choices through the thoughtful selection of materials, products and suppliers.
This includes using recycled or sustainably sourced materials where appropriate, selecting products that are safe and fit for purpose, reducing unnecessary waste and working with manufacturers and suppliers who share a commitment to quality, responsible production and ethical business practices.
While the availability of materials and suppliers may change over time, every effort is made to balance creativity, durability, environmental responsibility and the long-term quality of the finished work.
Invest in Something You can be Proud of.
