Celebrating a Milestone! My 100th community-engaged mural in Ottawa

Описание: December 2025 I reached a major milestone, completing my 100th community-engaged mural in Ottawa. This milestone underscores my ongoing commitment to art as a tool for connection, dialogue, and positive social change.
Over the course of my career, my murals have supported the social and cultural priorities of public and private organizations while transforming public spaces into vibrant visual narratives that reflect the voices and values of local communities.
My work fosters creativity, inclusion, and a strong sense of belonging. I create each mural through meaningful engagement with participants from neighbourhoods, schools, institutions, and community organizations. Through consultation, design, and hands-on creation, I endeavour to empower children, youth, elders, newcomers, and marginalized groups—many of whom might not otherwise have access to artistic or community-
building opportunities.
I celebrate this achievement as it reflects my commitment to community-engaged art in Ottawa and highlights the powerful role of my collaborative community-engaged art work in strengthening social and cultural connections across the city.
Thank you to all the community participants and to the leaders in organizations in the public and private sector who trust me as a community-engaged artist. It is an honour to see how my murals have been an impactful tool for community and individual transformation.
