Kind of Blue
Huge thank you to @kj.bit for putting on an amazing Mentor and Mentee mural jam in Oct 2021.
This is the garage I got and I immediately saw a piano. I wanted to transform the windows into black keys that glow at night. It is a whimsical play on a jazz pianist.

Soul of Limoilou

I was the first artist to be asked to do a mural in the neighborhood and the first mural artist from Ontario to get government funding in Quebec.

Uplifting Each Other
I was immediately drawn to the theme of ‘uplifting each other’, it made me ask myself what does supporting women look like? What are the ways we can support women in our communities? What does it mean to uplift one another and ourselves? In my illustration, I try to explore various answers to these questions with colourful bodies of various sizes that sometimes energetically, sometimes compassionately, move and help others towards a better present/future.

Lilies of the Water
Inspired by the resilience of the natural world, this mural highlights nature’s survival through harsh and changing conditions of our urban environments.
Like nature, a human life’s journey isn’t always flowing easily towards our hopes and dreams, it often ebbs towards feelings of being lost and confused. This is part of the beauty of life and our perseverance; like a tough water lily thriving in its unique environment. After all, blossoming water lilies have emerged from the mud, evolving over many years to survive.

“A lot of my illustrations, paintings are inspired by Korean folk arts. One of my favourite Korean symbols or folklore character is Horangi, the tiger. Tigers are revered as guardians and divine spirits and symbolize courage and power in Korean folklore and myth.” – June
