PUBLIC ART
Mural for Steadfast Brewing Co.: Mural completed before they opened in the summer of 2022! Originally, they just wanted three racing stripes but I offered some alternatives to choose from because I felt the long wall had lots of potential. You can sip some beer and chew on some food beside this mural at: 301 Lansdowne Ave, Toronto, ON M6K 2W5.
“Cycling is Elemental” Richmond Street Cycle Track Art Project: hosted by stART and in collaboration with over 100 other Toronto artists. The concrete barriers were painted/wrapped in vinyl before they are to be used for a bike lane that runs all along Richmond Street from Parliament to Bathurst Street. 2021.
“Stories on Scarlett” Scarlett Road Cycle Track Art Project: hosted by stART and in collaboration with 141 other Toronto artists. The concrete barriers were painted/wrapped in vinyl before they are to be used for a bike lane that runs on Scarlett road from Edenbridge Drive to Bernice Crescent. 2020.
DUNDAS PARK KITCHEN: Collaborated with the local eatery DPK and Division 11 Toronto Police in the Roncesvalles area to create murals for vandalized homes and garages instead of simply cleaning it up. The designs for DPK's wall and garage door was to decorate the backdoor space but also help indicate to delivery trucks easily where their eatery is. 2013.
Dundas Roncesvalles Peace Garden + Peace Path: Youth were invited to reflect on the indigenous heritage of Dundas Street: the different aims of indigenous nations as compared to the British and local settlers fighting in the War of 1812. Their designs, laid in a living garden, intertwine respect for heritage with new relationships between residents of Toronto and our founding First Nation, and the need to care for the earth. These young artists symbolize equality, courage, hope, and promise, all good foundations for true and lasting peace. Text and Photos via dundasroncesvallespeacegarden. 2014.
