Murals

I started painting murals in Calgary under the mentorship of a community volunteer mural artist and painted several murals as part of community initiatives, and have experience with the mural process end-to-end, from conception, to design, to preparing the mural wall surface, to execution.

My past murals and illustrations feature animals, fantasy creatures, and plants, usually woven into each other. My work resonates with the belief that we are connected, and that when we care for each other - for our communities, animals, for nature, for those distant from us in time and space, the strength of that community can support us all. I explore and communicate themes of resilience, imagination, nature, and community through my work.

My style emphasizes shape language, linework, and blocks of minimalist colour.
