  • Mending

    Winner of Mural of the Year 2016, this mural depicts a woman mending a ripped heart with thread. It represents the unity of First Nations peoples, from the South to the North. The muskox on her hat relate to how these animals protect their young from predators. The vamps on her poncho are symbols for the missing and murdered Indigenous women in Canada, and it highlights the severity of this issue in this particular area of Winnipeg. The act of heart mending occurs every day, in various ways whether it be physical or spiritual, we are all on a process of healing.

  • Restoration

    Winner of Mural of the Year 2012, this mural is a mosaic made out of hundreds of ceramic tile samples, which took almost 4 years to complete. The artists of the project got the chance to connect with a neglected part of the city, and be a part of its culture while they created the mural. Much of the Main street community was involved in its creation as well.

  • Taking Flight

    The Mural named ‘Taking Flight’ is designed specifically for the Sherbrook Street community and Epic Information Solutions. This design showcases symbols of key subjects and phrases that have been brought to my attention by C.E.O., David Reid at Epic. It also depicts the vision I want to convey as an artist and a resident of the community of West Broadway, to bring empowerment and vitality to the area.

  • Along the Bow

    You’ll find the Chinese zodiac hidden across the mural, in traditional Chinese lettering is the mention of home of the ginger beef and the Bow River, and some fun characters are playing around the mural that weren’t depicted in the original, such as a fisherman on the boat.

    The mural is 135 feet wide and 55 feet tall. We two of us painted the mural using a boomlift and paint sprayer/spray cans over the course of 40 days during the hottest August in 10 years. We had assistance with the traditional Chinese characters to ensure stylistic accuracy.

  • RaY Inc. x Art City

    This mural was painted by participants from RaY inc. (Resource Assistance for Youth), a nonprofit organization that supports youth in Winnipeg. The project was led by Jessica Canard. It depicts four figures smudging in a field, representing the diversity of Winnipeg’s West Broadway community. To the left is a map of the city, with its two main rivers prominently visible; the Red River and the Assiniboine. This is a reminder of the importance of our rivers, and their role as the original trade routes of Turtle Island.

  • Land in Motion

    Artist’s Statement: “The Title of the Mural is “”Land in motion””, it is a look at how our landscape is for ever changed around us with the birth and migration to urban landscapes. We don’t have to go far in our province to see these effects. I also wanted to convey some unhealthy qualities that science and humanity bring when creating their world. Some of the Mural traits demonstrate somewhat of a toxicity that is present in the environment, symbolized by the interlacing of the linear patterns, odd geometric shapes and odd colours that form in the skies. This can describe many modern attributes, such as the chemicals in our environment, the noise, the lights… Yet you can also get a sense of a harmony that is unfolding within these same geometric shapes, as we move forward on the landscape. This is most evident when looking at the back of the building, where I’ve painted an aerial view of a cityscape. The wide range of coloured twinkling lights at dusk almost seem magical. This is perhaps one of the positive sides of the illustration, showing the beauty that we can accomplish we connect. It is important for me as an artist to convey a simple message within my work, of negative and positive attributes, to assure that my paintings have a discussion with my viewers and to also leave the viewer open to his or her own interpretations. I am so happy to have had this chance to contribute to the beautifying of our neighbourhood in this way. We have brought a touch of dignity to the area and have set a new path for the future which I believe coincides well with the changes that are occurring in the community.

  • Lorfolk Lane

    This fairy forest mural was commissioned by the BIA and completed in 2019 by ACAD students in partnership with Norfolk Housing Association. Fairy doors compliment this charming mural.

  • The Eau Claire Lumber Company

    This large woodcut by Eveline tells the story of the lumber mill, from logging in the Kananaskis area, floating the lumber down the Bow river to Prince’s island, to the sawmill in the City. The river also generated electricity for the lumber mill. The mill was relocated to heritage Park and can be seen there. Much of the wood was used for the railway stays of the developing Canadian Pacific Railway company.

  • The Mojave Phone Booth

    In my design, I create the illusion of an oasis within an urban location. I wanted to commemorate the curious and serendipitous connections made in places of importance which are often overlooked. I chose to reference The Mojave Phone Booth, commenting on liminality and mirroring the history of 11th Ave in many ways.

  • N/A

    This mural was designed for Parks Canada to raise awareness for the White Bark Pine Tree- an endangered species in the National Parks. after a National Artist call out that Parks Canada I was so honoured to be chosen to design and paint this mural

  • Beyond Your Limits

    When painting this piece, she chose shapes, patterns and colours that integrated well with the wall’s architecture. The mural represents going outside your boundaries, which is why she painted literal boundaries here with the map of the Beltline, mountains and rivers. There are also five bike patterns painted into the mountains — the bike, handle bars, the seat, chain wheel and pedals. She recommends taking a photo from across the street to capture the entire mural, but then getting up close to look at the graphic patterns.
