About this Mural:
Mural name: Outono
The Outono mural was a very special mural and project to be part of in many ways. The fact Shalak and I had created the sketches and when came time to paint we came to conclusion that what we can created wouldn’t properly fit on the initial wall that was available, luckily the folk from the city and the mural routes org was very kind and flexible so we’re were able to quickly find another wall available which in my opinion it turned out to be the perfect canvas for our creation.
As for the concept I chose to paint, I was really happy when I heard that the artist would have the freedom of creating our own artwork and theme as long as it was somehow based into the area and its overall surroundings.
As I’ve been a fan and for a long time picking birds, animals and houses as a subject I thought this couple of “House Sparrow” would be nicely painted within the fall colours and vibes .
Turned out that I had a wonderful two day process amongst my favourite partner in colour and to make it even better we were in the perfect location as we also had our little girl Violeta with us so she also had a lovely time playing in the playground that set right in front of the wall we painted .
Also I would love to send a big hug and gratitude to everyone that made it possible the locals who were so nice and appreciative, the organizers, the city for being open for a new form of murals and public art and last but not least my amazing Parents in law who were there to support us with the family!
Much love y’all hope to get another chance to work with you again .
A short artist statement
I try to find inspiration in everything in life, but what brings me most creativity is the raw side of life that I try to transform and understand into new forms through my art.
I started to live from my art in 2007, and I moved to Rio de Janeiro where I got to do lots of Graffiti workshops, Murals, and commission pieces for companies. Although I live from my art, I never stopped painting for fun in the streets to satisfy my own creative hunger. Living from my art wasn’t easy especially in the first years.
Where I come from, bad choices surround youth have to face, and I have a lot friends and family that died young or went to jail because of that. I was able to get myself out of trouble because I found Pixacao and Graffiti, I’ll be always glad to have discovered it in my life. It was like a cure for me.

About this mural:
As an artist connected to Dundalk through family, I was enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to the community through this mural project. My passion for creating public art aligns perfectly with the project’s goal of transforming and enhancing local spaces.
This mural pays homage to the land and the vital role it has played in nurturing its community. At the centre, a classic red barn stands proudly, symbolizing the hardworking spirit of Dundalk’s farmers and the town’s agricultural roots. At the foreground of the barn, a lively farmers’ market scene showcases fresh produce and local goods, highlighting the town’s connection to its land and community.
Surrounding the scene, large flowers fan out, their distinctive shapes formed with a mix of pastel and bold colors. Shades of pink and purple flow through the leaves, creating a soft, dreamy atmosphere, while bright greens and yellows add a dynamic contrast, bringing the mural to life. The combination of these colors enhances the natural beauty of the leaves, making them appear almost as if they are glowing with an inner light. The blend of pastels and bold hues captures the eye, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the mural’s lush world. This piece celebrates the vivid and serene qualities of nature, transforming the space with its radiant, uplifting energy.
A short artist statement
As a Jamaican-born artist based in Toronto, my creative journey is a vibrant tapestry woven from the threads of my diverse experiences. I’m a multidisciplinary artist, but my passion is for mixed media art and mural art. My artistic pursuit is a celebration of resilience, a testament to the strength that emerges from the intersectionality of my identity as a black woman and immigrant. Through my work, I navigate the complex tapestry of my existence, drawing inspiration from the rich hues of my Jamaican roots.
My art is a dialogue that transcends borders and challenges preconceptions. It is an exploration of identity, a celebration of diversity, and a call to embrace the beauty in our shared existence. With each piece, I invite the viewer to embark on a journey of self-discovery and find echoes of their own story within the kaleidoscope of colors and forms that define my artistic expression.

About this Mural:
Mural name: Dundalk: Now and Then
I wanted this mural to be about the heart of Dundalk. After contacting Brent, the owner of the building, business and a resident of Dundalk, we talked through what the mural should include. The heart of historic Dundalk is represented by the CPR Station, from the year it was built 1873 (thanks to Deputy Mayor Barbara Dobreen and Greg for the research assistance!) until the year it was demolished in a controlled burn, 1971. The heart of the community of Dundalk is represented by Brent’s two children looking into the current building and seeing the past. The wonderful service dog Maple, who visited us on the first day of painting with her owner Jessica, makes her debut appearance in her first mural! Thanks Maple! You are the purrfect dog for this mural! I am always pleased to work alongside my pARTner in life and art, Dave Bagley @bagmandala. He is my secret weapon and an amazing artist. I would love to thank Mural Routes, Southgate Township, the community of Dundalk and Brent Russell for this amazing opportunity to share my love of trompe l’oeil with your community. I would also like to congratulate all the artists involved on such an amazing weekend and the amazing murals they painted!
A short artist statement
I have always been fascinated by the majesty of trompe l’oeil murals. By combining my love of landscape painting & the tradition of trompe l’oeil, I have found a way to communicate with communities on several different levels through my murals. The illusion of trompe l’oeil offers the chance of discovery for the viewer. For them to perceive all the details inside and outside of the mural. I aim not to deceive, but to reveal the illusion, this meeting place between the real & the painted. Although the deception appears only momentarily, it is an instant of being deceived. Once the illusion has dissolved what remains must be a natural beauty all on its own & draw in the viewer to spend time exploring all the details & visual delights each mural has to offer.

About this mural
I was very excited when I heard about this opportunity. I used to paint with students in the towns nearby (Shelburne, and Mono Cliffs). I still frequently find inspiration in the Nottawasaga Conservation areas and locations up the escarpment near Dundalk. Upon hearing about your mural project, I made a day trip to Dundalk and talked to residents and business owners about what images they might like to see depicted. As if it was a sign as I was leaving Dundalk, a beautiful red-tailed hawk gave me inspiration.
Dundalk sits upon the highest elevation of any community in southern Ontario. Incredibly, the rains that fall in the areas around Dundalk gather to form the very initial source of FOUR major rivers, the Grand, Saugeen, Mud, and Beaver. The water collects in the raised basin just northeast of Dundalk around the Osprey Wetlands Conservation Area. The image I propose would pay homage to the important ecosystem and watershed that sits at Dundalk’s doorstep. I would depict a wetland area, surrounded by a stand of black spruce (the area around Dundalk sits at a high enough elevation for black spruce, which normally only grow further north). In the foreground left would be a Great Blue Heron. These birds are now found throughout Ontario, but have recently been spotted at the Dundalk filtration pond. In the upper right I would depict a red-tailed hawk. Both these species are success stories after the ban on DDT. I strive for realism when painting wildlife, but the rest of the painting would have a Tom Thompson feel. I like to “hide” imagery in my murals. The background cloud shelf would form a topographic cross section of Ontario, with the sun placed at the top (Dundalk).
A short artist statement
My approach to creating new murals is three-fold. First, I try to incorporate as many of the ideas of the client as possible. I am happy to collaborate to make other people’s visions a large part of the final work. In the planning stage, I always research the subject matter (obsessively!) to make sure even the smallest details are accurate. The planning stage is also the time to ensure that all community voices are reflected equally and fairly. Second, I try to create my murals to be colourful and impactful for the community. I love to play with light, depth and shadow and I prefer to use bright colours. Finally, I focus on engaging with community as much as possible, before, during, and after a project (I guarantee my work for five years). Often my murals are an opportunity to share new ideas and bring awareness to worthwhile causes.
A short artist bio
I have been creating painted wall murals for 27 years. Originally I sold my artwork and painted canoe paddles at Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre, Muskoka’s Antique Boat Show, the McMicheal Gallery, the Sportsman Show, and Barrie’s Kempenfest, just to name a few. Early in my career I was selected to paint several commissions for Molsons Canada at which point I began to focus more on mural art. I have created murals in collaboration with schools, restaurants, and homes, and worked with cities and townships across Southern Ontario. I also worked as an Outdoor Education Specialist for the Toronto District School Board, with a primary focus on helping students create artwork in an outdoor setting. I like to pass on my many years of experience by helping and encouraging new painters to create murals of their own. I currently live and maintain a home studio in Barrie, Ontario.

About this mural
Andre’s focus on geometric forms offers a style that captures the spirit of Dundalk’s evolution. His murals will serve as a visual tribute to the community, weaving together past and future through dynamic color, form, and structure. By researching local history and engaging with residents, Andre aimed to create artwork that resonates with the people of Dundalk, celebrating its heritage while envisioning its growth and transformation.
This mural reimagines a map of Dundalk as a collection of geometric shapes, each representing significant locations such as the town square, main church, libraries, and historical sites. The shapes vary in size and color based on the importance or historical significance of each site. The mural features interconnected lines and patterns that suggest the roads and pathways connecting these places, creating an abstract network that reflects the structure of the town.
The background of the mural was painted with latex exterior paint however, most of the mural was painted with aerosol spray paint.
A short artist statement
Enlivened by his interest in spacial structures and interconnectivity, Andre Kan’s paintings serve as excitable blueprints for a possible reality. Each work depicts the artists’ signature imaginative building blocks that converge and begin to build upon each other and strengthening each other towards an ever transforming space. Kan’s structures are substantial and complex but not yet anchored – they float suspended in his psychological space. In this way Kan’s buildings remain a playful proposition for the viewer not yet tied to a specific place or function. With his dynamic formations, Kan propels us towards an ever optimistic future where new connections and constructions have yet to materialize.
His current work investigates the architectural interpretations that respond to our ever advancing society, and suggests what ‘possibility’ means through self discovery. Examining what mark making and its properties mean, as well as the significance in cause and effect, is important here. Kan’s psychological structures depict change and evolution of space, while also questioning the fundamental nature of being and the world that encompasses it.

About this mural:
I am familiar with Grey County from staying at Camp Wyoka as a girl guide, skiing at Blue Mountain, and visiting family in Eugenia. I find comfort in walking through forests and countryside and incorporate that feeling into my work. In line with Dundalk’s agricultural history, I was thrilled to paint a mural of local plants important to this main industry and help light up the street. I believe in public art’s ability to improve connection, wellness, and creativity in community spaces. My work helps infuse a vibrant image that reflects local business and the agricultural importance of the area. It adds cheer, inspiration, and connection for people of all ages. With years of experience with large-scale mural installations, I wanted to create a meaningful artwork that aligns with the project’s goals and celebrates the rich history and significance of Dundalk.
A written description of your proposed mural
I proposed a vibrant mural of plants that are important to agriculture in the Township of Southgate. A colourful pattern of lush plants and flowers represents the industry’s growth–from its beginnings in the past, to current success, to a vibrant future ahead. The mural is an exciting collage of different colours and species living together, reflecting all the businesses and people that make up the community of Dundalk.
Onlookers will recognize the plants that grow on nearby farms and are sold at local stores, markets, and fairs. Fruits, vegetables, herbs, and grains, dance together in a circular formation. Different stages of growth are shown as shoots, flowers, and leaves, indicating the continuous cycle of seasons and life. The mural will appear to belong in its setting while highlighting growth and positivity.
A short artist statement:
Pam’s murals form connections with the local environment to create a sense of identity and belonging that feels familiar to the community. By integrating biophilic design and diverse cultural and historical influences, she transforms blank walls into inclusive and welcoming spaces. Pam designs each mural with unique visual aesthetics that invites and intrigues people to engage, explore, and learn from the mural. Soft colour gradients and attention to unique details create an uplifting and meaningful experience.
Pam’s bio:

About this mural:
My mural for Dundalk is a vibrant celebration of the deep connection between humans and the natural world. Inspired by the natural habitat of the area, the mural features a whimsical and illustrative design that brings to life the harmony between the community and its surrounding environment. The artwork explores the relationship between people and nature, using storytelling elements that resonate with all visitors and park users, regardless of age, gender, or interests.
In this mural, organic shapes and forms of plants, animals, water, sky, ….. flow seamlessly across the composition, creating a dynamic and engaging visual narrative. The design is both playful and meaningful, reflecting the joy and interconnectedness that nature brings to the community. A vivid, bold, and lively color palette was employed to draw attention and create an uplifting atmosphere, ensuring the mural stands out as a focal point within the space.
Overall, the mural is a joyful and eye-catching tribute to the beauty of Dundalk’s natural environment and its importance in the lives of those who live and visit here. Through this artwork, I hope to inspire a deeper appreciation for the natural world and reinforce the bond between the community and the landscape that sustains it.
A short artist statement

My artistic journey, spanning public art projects across Canada, reflects my commitment to celebrating local histories and futures through vibrant and meaningful artworks.
I was eager for the opportunity to collaborate with Mural Routes and the Township of Southgate and the Dundalk community, translating their stories into a vibrant mural that will enrich the town’s cultural landscape for years to come.

About this Mural:
For the mural I wanted to depict a broad spectrum of the town of Dundalk, combining past, present and future. With iconic buildings like the library and the town hall in the background and environmental efforts for energy production showing a view on the future, and with depicting an old tractor and a Mennonite couple showing some more historic modes of transportation and culture.
The tractor specifically is a depiction of Mr. Alex Duncan, who worked for his father, driving tractors from the factory all the way to his father’s dealership in town. I found the photograph in the Dundalk Facebook group that had vintage newspaper clippings.
The Mennonite buggy is based on a photograph I took in town.
A short artist statement
I pride myself in being able to create works of art, and successfully respond to the surrounding community’s visions and ideas. A great source of inspiration is to get to know the people in the community, and to do historic research of each unique locale. The driving philosophy behind the art I create is that it becomes a force for good within a community. I approach each project with an open mind, a listening ear to the community, and with a constant challenge to build on previous creative experience. I strive to produce public art that brings people together from all walks of life, that inspires people with all unique backgrounds, and that promotes a shared pride within the community. Good public art reflects the culture of its surroundings, and it affects the people that are exposed to the artwork in positive ways.

About this Mural:
This is the green heron, one of two heron species found nesting around Dundalk. While the Great Blue Heron is frequently the subject of artwork, being so striking and majestic, the smaller but equally beautiful green heron deserves our admiration as well. They help control populations of fish and invertebrates. Their necks can appear either nonexistent or more than double the length of their bodies. They are extremely intelligent, using bait to catch prey, dropping insects or other small objects onto the surface of water to attract fish. They can also walk around on lily pads.
A short artist statement
Murals for me are an opportunity to interact with everyday people, outside of gallery exhibition spaces. I think this is where art can have the greatest effect on people’s lives – it makes urban space more visually interesting and can instil a sense of pride in the community. I am inspired first and foremost by the natural world so my work expresses wonder and appreciation for the tiny important things living all around us by rendering them larger than life, in vibrant colours, to help spread environmental awareness and appreciation for the planet’s biodiversity. I take every opportunity to connect with people in this way seriously because I think social and environmental consciousness is crucial in our communities and that public art can play a role in fostering that. When I go to a new place, I try to learn about the issues important to the people there and the wildlife, figures or scenes that will resonate with the locals’ lived experience. By raising awareness about issues of social and environmental importance, I hope to continue to use public art to build on existing community dialogues and promote productive discussion while also adding colour to city streets that need it.

About this mural:
In my Dundalk mural, I decided to display some of the things I think are important to our town including our clubs, schools and sports teams. I wanted to feature a captivating sunset image that I had taken on my grandfather’s farm in Southgate, and decided to use an image of a butterfly to incorporate everything together to make it welcoming and interactive.
A short artist statement
Growing up, I thought living in Dundalk was a bit boring. I left, thrilled to go and see new things in a new town, and I was excited to work in the city. It was a great experience, but when the time came for me to want to have a child, I knew where home was…. and it was Dundalk. Turns out, boring was actually peaceful, serene and quite wonderful where I now choose to live and work.
