  • The Terminator

    This graffiti hyper wild style piece was painted with a mixture of Montana Cans spray paint and roller paints. A true graffiti foundation with modern application for the front of the gallery that hosted a large art show with all of the artists from the festival in attendance.

  • Homehood

    This is a place for the community. Colourful houses adorn the wall to remind us of the feeling of home; a place where we feel safe, comfortable, and welcome. Together the illustrative houses speak of a community, one where every person can feel at home with other members of their community. The homes in their childlike form remind us of our childhood, of playing in the park with our friends, taking risks, and having fun ’till your called home for dinner. This is such a place, a place for the community to play.

  • Sanguine

    Sanguine, a paper cut, is part of a series of Humours made in 2020-2021. The theory of the Four Humours was developed by Hippocrates, as he believed that the human body was made up of four components. These 4 Humours needed to be regulated and balanced for people to remain healthy. Four Humours were liquid within the body- blood, phlegm, yellow and black bile. These Humours could also be connected to the 4 seasons, Yellow bile (summer), Black Bile (autumn), Phlegm (winter) and Blood (spring). Sanguine, is a ghost or shapeshifter, hoping to lure the viewer with beauty, wonder and playfulness, but also a “trojan horse” of confrontation and fear.

  • I Love You Coffee Shop

    The piece was made for and inspired by I Love You Coffee Shop, and is composed of some representations of items you might find within the shop. This mural brings attention to and celebrates the Calgary businesses as well as the people that make a community unique.

  • Inner Warmth

    “The idea of this piece is to play with contrasting the enclosed nature of the space with an overall composition that feels expansive and dynamic. Like a prairie sky, which is what I’ve decided to reference for my palette.” -Derek Simmers

  • Why can’t they see us?

    A community partnership project between Van Mural Fest, the Centre for Comparative Muslim Studies and artist Doaa Jamal, the mural is Arabic square Kufic script illustrating a verse from the Qur’an:
    “We have created you from male and female and we made you into tribes and nations that you may know each other” (49:13).
    The piece was made by community members who gathered to tape the stencil, paint, and share feedback. Jamal wanted to create a design that encapsulates the diversity of Muslims in Vancouver, and speaks to the burdens minorities and immigrants face when navigating cultural and identity differences.

  • Catch me Sippin’

    By disorienting the viewer to conjure feelings of confusion, I have layered several identical works that demonstrates the concept of movement. By generating work using illustrative and manipulative methods, I reveal an inherent awkwardness; a humour that echoes our own vulnerabilities. I consider said movement as a metaphor for the ever-seeking human who experiences a continuous loss of creative energy. Isolating this creates new sequences that reveal an inseparable relationship between motion and the never ending pursuit of perfecting one’s craft. And coffee is great. That’s what this dude be sippin’. Sometimes, if I drink a lot of it, I get a little shaky shaky in my ol’ funny bones and I feel like said illustration. Michael calls me a ‘caffeine fiend’.

  • Birds of Paradise

  • Crane Dreamscape

    Birds have always captivated me with their beautiful plumage and their ability to harness the wind for travel. I can only imagine the moment for a juvenile upon their first flight, to experience lifting off into the air, and feeling weightlessness for the first time. Cranes and herons in particular are enchanting to witness in their focused attention while on the hunt for prey. In this work, the Sandhill Cranes of the Winnipeg landscape take the center stage and I invite you to imagine with me — the perspective, focus, and moment of boldness during a crane’s first flight at sunset.”” Mural assistance by: Mike Valcourt, Laura Lewis, Brianna Wentz, Jan Castillo, Pat Lazo, Jonato Dalayoan, Helga Jakobson, Patrick Skene, Chloe Chafe, Andrew Eastman.

  • Crane

    Installed in the window of a Dollarama, this mural is a part of Priscilla Yu’s main mural project located on the back of the building. This piece is meant to invite viewers to view the larger mural on the other side titled “Crane Dreamscape.”

  • Walker Theatre Mural

    Located on the back of the former Walker Theatre, now the Burton Cummings Theatre, this mural is one of Winnipeg’s oldest murals that still stands today. Part of a public project known as Artwalls, Benson and Hendges Tobacco Company sponsored the project to “enhance the urban environment.” Winston Leathers’ mural was chosen as one of the three finalists, including artists Bill Lobchuk and Bruce Head. It was created around the same time as his Cosmic Variations series in the early 1970s.
