Wild Geese

STYNA created this mural for the 2022 Nelson International Mural Festival on the roof of Kootenay Lake Hospital’s emergency department. The wall is visible from view street, as well as visible to the patients in the hospital’s palliative care ward.

“Wild Geese” is inspired by Mary Oliver’s poem “Wild Geese”.

“Christina Huynh is an illustrator and muralist based in Western Sydney, Australia that paints under the name STYNA. Her art practice involves creating murals, illustrations and picture books from differing mediums of watercolour, ink and pen to acrylic and aerosol.

With an enthusiasm for goldfish and all things fragile in our natural world, Christina creates stories in her work that express her everyday thoughts, experiences and memory. She finds inspiration in storytelling, human emotion, wayfaring and the heritage of people and place.”
