Winner of Mural Fest 2K7, this mural is located on the side of Full House Grocery in China Town, Winnipeg. It displays a view of Main Street in Winnipeg, inhabited by polar bears.

Mural created with ArtStarts for the Junction region as part of the Graffiti Transformation project.
The underpass graced by this bike mural is a gateway for those heading to the Junction, but it’s a destination now, too. The 400-foot creation painted by seven artists over four weeks this summer turned a mundane slab of concrete into a giant uniting message: strength in numbers – a critical mass reminder for the city’s wide spectrum of cyclists.
Located on their garage, facing the bustling street of Davenport, is an artistic interpretation of the family who lives there.

Shaped like two flip-flops, these chairs remind us of Port Credit’s distinctly beachy vibe. The chairs are covered with small vignettes of scenes reminiscent of the city’s natural features: rivers, lakeshores, fishing, and more. There is a blue pair and a red pair that move around but normally are found at the base of the lighthouse.
Toronto is a busy city. Most of us are buzzing from place to place with a purpose. I get inspiration from long wanders along our streets, appreciating the little things and imagining the lives quintessential parts our city could be living; like pigeons, what do they do when we’re not looking? Could be anything, even riding a unicycle for all we know. This artwork encourages us to stop a moment and let our imaginations run wild, rather than running wildly ourselves from A to B. This is part of a series.

Responding to “A Migration,” a mural painted by Claire Crawford on the opposite side of this wall, DAVE H. created a piece that reflects both a diversity in artistic style, but also broadens are awareness of our place in the larger ecosystem of earth. Riffing off similar themes to Claire’s work, “Jungle” reminds us that while preserving and protecting our local habitat is key, we’re all part of a larger system. This mural was painted during ECAH’s East West Mural Festival in 2021.
Completed: July 2023 I am inspired by the trails, conservation areas and proximity to the Credit River that Halton Hills residents enjoy. These spaces provide spectacular experiences for its human population and contribute essential habitat for native wetland flora, fauna and migratory species.
