Public works

In 2014 I took part in a street mural beautification project with the Ottawa School of Art and the Ottawa Chinatown BIA. It was my first experience painting public street art. Since then I have been working on similar projects, big and small throughout the city. Below are my projects from past to present:

775 Somerset St. West, 2014.
Front window and three side panels.

Final painting! More elements were added as per client request, but I had to stop at this point.

157 Beausoleil Drive (Lowertown Community House), 2017.

Title of this project is: Illunaata, meaning “all together” in Inuktituk, a celebration of Canadian imagery and community through the medium of paint. To mark Canada’s 150th Anniversary.

My biggest mural yet. That’s me on the scaffolding!
