Painting the Pembina
The “Painting the Pembina” Project was directed, crowd-funded and painted by visual artist Brie Adkins in 2019-2020 on the historic J.D. Read building. Painting the Pembina called on the community to support the project through ‘purchasing’ bricks, and those funds went towards the mural expenses, the plaque and the three Pembina Schools for their art programs. Businesses, families and individuals came together to raise $8080 for this community project. The schools in turn each received 1500 in funds for their arts programs.

Pollinator Playground
Marvelling at plants and small creatures is a childhood fascination that continues to inspire my artwork today. My mural Pollinator Playground is meant to convey this sense of joy and wonder: giant plants dominate the horizon in a storybook landscape and the air is filled with enlarged pollinating species; life-sized people cohabitate this fantasy garden, inviting visitors to see their place amongst the plants and pollinators. If they so choose, guests can pose with a pollinator or giant mural plant, mimicking the poses or just standing alongside the silhouettes.

Willowsheen
Discover this spectacular 4400 square foot mural downtown on the alleyway walls between Talbot Street and the Moore Street parking lot. On the east wall, the orange and red colours feel hot, like sunrise into midday; on the west wall, the green and blue shades feel cool, comparable to late afternoon and sunset. The mechanical and digital forms that tower over the trees on both sides of the alley indicate human intervention into the natural environment, almost akin to alien spaceships.
