Fantasy art is a genre of art that depicts magical or other supernatural themes, ideas, creatures or settings.
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.
This mural demonstrates the importance of the dragon and the Great Wall in Chinese culture. The Dragon representing good luck, health and strength. The Great Wall represents the unification of China. And when we think of these two things in such a beautiful, open, Canadian city, those values stretch to the sense of unity that we all have in our community.
This 48×8 feet mural represents the vision of 120 elementary school kids about diversity. It was painted with their participation at the Viscount Alexandre School in Ottawa.
As a MASC artist in Ottawa, I created this mural for the 2018 MASC annual Awesome Arts Festival in Sandy Hill.
A magical and lush world, complete with quirky tea cups. Inspired by the theme of home, Julia Prajza designed this playful mural based on her upbringing in Etobicoke and the feelings of warmth, love, togetherness, and most importantly tea time.

The story of Jumbo the elephant is rather tragic and sad. He was a circus animal that was hit and killed by a train in St Thomas in 1885. I’m hoping my mural will help to heal the elephant spirit. I love the elephant symbol, she is so gentle, wise and strong. Did you know elephants will come together to mourn their dead? I see all these new painted elephants around St Thomas coming together to lament and honour Jumbo in a joyous way.
This was produced by Future Day (futureday.ca) by three artists as noted above.
It was in response to a request for proposal from the Town of Wasaga Beach on the side of the Museum Archive Building.
This mural is part of the Womxn Paint 2021 North Etobicoke project themed around resilience. Since the neighbourhood has a large population of immigrants, South Asians in particular, I used an image of a young South Asian woman in her traditional attire appreciating nature. Adjusting to her new world, like so many immigrant women she is naturally resilient and looks for something familiar to give her hope and strength.

These artworks share first person perspective stories that speak to the rich ongoing history of the site as home to many diverse plant and animal species and cultural communities, beginning with the Indigenous peoples of Tkaronto and Turtle Island. The Lansdowne Underpass Art Project creates a collaborative artwork that honours this site by telling stories of those who have and continue to live on, play on, build community on, struggle on, learn from, grow in, paint, immigrate to, contribute to, and tend to this land.
This dragon-themed mural incorporates imagination, colour and creativity in dramatically changing the appearance of this drab strip plaza.
