Shauna Heron
'King of the Suburban Jungle'
Mount Argus Park, Kimmage Road Lower, Dublin 6.

Dublin City Council
This piece features a cat relaxing and surveying his kingdom from the comfort of his flower bed. The area in which the artwork is located is a thriving Dublin superb with people (and pets) from all walks of life and the artist wanted to create a pleasing piece that would appeal to as many people as possible. Cat owners will instantly recognise the attitude of their four-legged family members while the daffodil flowers create something bright, colourful and comforting to look at as people go about their day in suburbia.
I’m a Dublin-born artist and designer, recently graduating from studying visual communication in TUD. I hope to go on and establish myself as an illustrator and have spent my time since graduation trying to get my drawings out there. I have previously completed four Dublin canvas boxes from 2019-2021 and would absolutely love to be a part of the project again this year.
