As a proud Torontonian living in the west end, I enjoy walking the quiet residential streets and admiring the older, more charming homes of Toronto. Being a big fan of fine craftsmanship and vintage design, I like to imagine living in the city during the Victorian times without condo buildings, cookie cutter houses, and uninspired architecture. Over the years I have been collecting photos of these beautiful and intriguing houses in our city and am constantly looking back at them for inspiration with the intricate details, interesting materials and illuminating stained glass windows. This design was born as homage to Toronto’s historical homes and their timeless stained glass windows. The intention is to add a little more charm to the city with this vibrant and captivating modern-meets-traditional design.

In the hopes of bringing the character and personality of Toronto side streets to the busy main streets, this design was born. The intention is to juxtapose the city’s modern buildings, condo developments etc. with these timeless and unique historical homes, adding a little more charm to the urban sprawl. Inspired by four real houses in Toronto, one from Cabbagetown, Parkdale, Chinatown and Corktown, this mural was part of the 2019 Outside The Box program with Street Art Toronto.

This piece is a friendly reminder to follow whatever sparks your interest, to explore and be open to new things on your life journey. Ask more questions, talk to people with experience, get out of your comfort zone, get wild. Following your curiosities is a courageous act that can lead to wonderful things so let that light shine for people to see and appreciate! Only a few years ago did I truly start following my curiosity of hand lettering, mural art, and more recently calligraphy, and the list continues to grow.
