Still in Motion

Urban Design Award – 2025 – Canada Still in Motion reflects the balance between transformation and rootedness—honoring a community in revitalization while celebrating its enduring spirit. The dancer’s movement, the flutter of butterflies, within the presence of still flowers symbolize growth, change, and continuity existing side by side. It’s a visual meditation on resilience and renewal. We’re excited to be back on home turf in Ottawa this summer, contributing to downtown’s evolving landscape with a new mural visible from the AC Marriott hotel. This vibrant piece draws inspiration from the city’s dynamic arts and culture scene, capturing the energy that defines Rideau Street. A dancer in motion reflects the rhythm of downtown life—echoing nearby cultural landmarks from music venues to the NAC—while abstract local florals nod to the ByWard Market and the Tulip Festival. Flowing ribbons guide the eye and symbolize the threads of community and the path of the Rideau Canal. This mural is meant to be an eye-catching spot that really vibes with the energy of this part of the city.

Lost Frequencies

Thank you to everyone at the Alternating Current Festival, Quad City Arts, and the Bulldog Arms for giving us full creative freedom on this wall. This mural portrays a woman meeting your gaze, with florals seamlessly layered across her skin and into the space around her—like a living tattoo—blurring the line between body and bloom. It speaks to the truth that nature is not separate from us; it is embedded in our identity, though sometimes forgotten in the city, like a lost frequency. The piece is a reminder that our connection to the natural world is both intimate and inescapable. Client: Alternating Currents Festivals / QUAD City Arts Dimensions: 18 x 50’

Big Little Boy

It was an incredible experience painting in Villas Otoch and bringing more colour to a working-class neighbourhood beyond the downtown and beach hubs of Cancún. This mural captures an everyday moment, viewed from below, creating a subtle shift in perspective. That upward gaze reflects possibility and imagination found in ordinary life. By elevating a simple scene, the piece honours the beauty and resilience of daily routines in communities that are so often overlooked. This mural is dedicated to little Marcos and Loga, who immediately saw themselves in the painting, and to the families who live in the building where it now stands — a reflection of their stories, their energy, and their home. 22 x 20' Montana 94 and 360 Spay Paint on concrete.

Woven Within Our Lives

From the Earth

This mural is inspired by the site’s history as a cigar box factory while celebrating themes of growth and community. At its center, a hand gently cradles a bouquet—symbolizing the collective strength that comes from access to nature. The bouquet’s roots extend visibly, anchoring the imagery to the place and reflecting the deep connections within the community. Woven among the flowers are tobacco leaves, a nod to the building’s past and its role in shaping the neighborhood’s story. Client: Traverse City Mural Festival Dimensions: Approx. 20 x 15’

Lexus

I was thrilled to collaborate with Lexus and MURAL Festival in Montreal to bring this full installation to life. The project featured a digital illustration wrapped on the new Lexus RZ, paired with a custom mural designed to complement the vehicle. It will all come together during a live event on June 14th, with DJs performing sets powered by the Mark Levinson sound system inside the Lexus vehicles—turning the entire space into an immersive experience. From concept to completion, this project was all about movement, cohesion, and energy. I wanted the design to feel bold and dynamic—pulling from graffiti and nature to highlight the lines of the Lexus RZ, not hide them. The mural elements tie it all together, echoing the car’s palette while keeping it center stage. Working across digital and analog mediums, with Montreal’s electric vibe in the air, this one truly pushed my style in new ways.

Comptine d’Étés Passés / Lullaby of Past Summers

Our concept captures the lighthearted spirit of a Saturday afternoon in Les Myers Park, blending nature and recreation to foster a sense of pride and community identity. Centered on the simple joy of outdoor play, the mural symbolizes our deep connection to nature and the growth it nurtures. A colorful pair of running shoes evokes the moment of lacing up, ready to move, while a picnic-patterned handkerchief hints at shared experiences in the park. Native flora and fauna—including Bradford Pear, American Beech, redbud trees, Russian Mammoth sunflowers with a pollinating bee, and the Eastern Bluebird—celebrate the richness of the local ecosystem, reinforcing a strong sense of place.

Un monde en pages / A World in Pages

The mural is inspired by the library as the living heart of the neighborhood — a place of learning, connection, and discovery. It depicts a scene where children run and play with a small sailboat whose sails are made from book pages. Around them, native plants and flowers rise in the wind, symbolizing the journey, imagination, and growth that books can offer. This simple image evokes the richness, diversity, and energy of the community, while fostering a deep sense of belonging to this shared space.

The Road Will Meet You

This concept shows a student looking up and ahead toward a bright and open future. A Canadian flag on her chest represents pride and belonging, while her headphones suggest focus and blocking out distractions. The plants—maple leaves, orange wood lily, white sage, tobacco, and peonies—tie the artwork to local culture and identity. The sketch-like lines over the painting suggest that every big step starts with a first draft. Sweeping shapes, a microchip pattern, and light particles add a sense of movement, energy, and new ideas, capturing the spirit of creativity and experimentation at the core of the STEAM lab.
