FRENCH artist Michael Husser has left his mark on Rye’s arts and culture precinct.

His two striking murals are among the works to be spawned from Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Arts and Culture precinct at Police Point Shire Park, Portsea.

The Fisherman depicts seaside themes on the wall of The Rock cafe, corner Napier St and Pt Nepean Rd, Rye. Humans is on the foreshore toilet block near the lime kilns, Rye.

Husser developed the concepts and drawings during his week as artist in residence at Police Point.
