The 2026 CS Gallery Windows Commission has been awarded to artist Sasha Heath.
Sasha is a Melbourne based multidisciplinary artist specialising in hand painted murals and whimsical illustration. Murals are a passion of hers; she loves the challenge of working big, creating something that is totally out of this world, something that's never been created before and something that people can enjoy looking at every day.
For the 2026 CS Gallery Commission Sasha has designed a work titled Tones of Country. Melton is home to a stunning botanic garden and a network of nature reserves and parklands. Sasha describes these places as sharing a unifying palette – warm, earthy tones that reflect the character of the Australian bushland. The 2026 Commission for CS Gallery draws on the natural colour theme of the local parklands, echoing the rich hues of the region and celebrating the landscape that connects these spaces. The birds featured within the design is the Eastern Great Egret, a native species commonly found in Melton’s wetlands. As a migratory bird, the egret is often observed for their deep connection to Country, seasonal change, and water.
“I chose this species for its quiet elegance and its connection to Melton’s own story, a place shaped by continuous migration, cultural growth, and an ever-evolving community landscape. I love the idea of creating a design that connects not only with the local landscape but also with the people who call this region home. For me, it feels important to celebrate the natural environment and to honour the migratory birds that return to these areas year after year.” Sasha Heath
