about us...
Co-founder of #MYHAPPYPLACE PTY LTD, Ange Elder has made it her mission to make the world a brighter place, literally. With a background in visual
arts & education, she has been painting murals for over thirty years. The fundamental basis for this pursuit is to bring joy, promote positivity & basically pretty-up any space that lacks personality & good vibes. Communicating identity, activating spaces and encouraging engagement is her thing. Ange is a strong believer in the philosophy that what you see every day you think about, & what you think about becomes your reality. It only makes sense then to intentionally affect the spaces we inhabit in a happy & positive way. It doesn't really matter whether you're in a school, business or home, art is always a good idea. So, when are we coming to yours?
