2802 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON M6P 1Y5This mural was created with the Junction BIA and Articulations. Located at 2802 Dundas St W, the mural’s overarching theme celebrates art in some of it’s most basic elements– line, shape & colour. Articulations provides art supplies for all levels of creators to play and experiment with these concepts in their artwork. Inspired by Heather’s theme of ‘taking a line for a walk’, these abstract shapes and lines reference the beginnings of forms found in nature and, like the start of a creative project, explore the potential to become anything.

54 Maple Ave, Barrie ONThese loving strawberries offer a gift of wellbeing to the downtown Barrie community. The strawberry, the first fruit of summer, offers hope and the promise of new possibilities.
The design was inspired through a process of reconnecting with ancestral Ashkenazi Jewish plant medicine. Berries featured prominently in the materia medica of traditional Ashkenazi herbal healers. Art is a healing practice; through my art, I am giving new life to the folk healing practices of my forebears.
