Last week I finished up a very large mural for the Chilliwack Branch of the Fraser Valley Regional Library (@readlearnplay). It's located right by the children's section and it was such a lovely environment to work in. I really enjoyed watching the families come in, everyone so eager to play and learn and it inspired me to make sure I spend more personal time in a library. The theme of the mural is parents and their babies, so I've incorporated three different animal species. Of course I snuck otters in the water, eagles in the air and wolves on the land surrounded by a beautiful mountainous landscape all calling to British Columbia. I've called the mural "Nature and Nurture". Thank you for having me FVRL and thank you to the Chilliwack Friends of the Library for sponsoring this project.

Thank you Jenna Hauck from the Chilliwack Progress who wrote a lovely article about the mural. The link is in my bio!

Last week I was invited to share my work and do some live painting at the @canucks game for their Truth and Reconciliation Night at the Abbotsford Centre.

Thanks so much to @cambreelovesyofficial at the @abbotsfordcanucks for the invite. It was such a great evening.

As we get ready for the long weekend, we took a deeper dive into what Thanksgiving means to Indigenous peoples and how we can bring Reconciliation to the dinner table this year. Thanks to @Frettchanstudios for the beautiful artwork.

Sept 30th is the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. This day honours survivors of residential schools and the children who never returned home, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process. Wearing orange on this day is a way to honour the children who went to residential schools, and to promote the concept that Every Child Matters.

Earlier this year I collaborated with @dtbyhalton, I created an Indigenous design that represents "Unity".

To symbolize unity, I illustrated three animal species coming together from the water, earth, and sky. From the sky a strong eagle. Eagles often pair up for life and work together to build their nests and take care of their young. From the earth a cunning wolf. Wolves run in packs and work as a team to protect each other and hunt. From the water, a salmon who will make the long migration in large groups from the ocean to the river to give their offspring the best chance of survival, the salmon is a life source, it feeds the wolf, the eagle, the land, and its inhabitants.

The funds from these shirts will go to support Dare to be Youth Charity programs, an Indigenous Youth Organization, and sales also support me and my art practice as the designer. DTBY is also offering a Unity Box that comes with a ticket to their November Youth Inspire CommUNITY Day, a t-shirt, and a book (additional donations from the box sales will be made to Halton Black Voices). To learn more please visit @dtbyhalton.

This is a collaborative piece between myself and @mirv1 on the back entrance to the building that houses the Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation, the Chamber & the Downtown BIA. The images for the doors are my designs, they were installed by @kineticsignschwk, and then Kyle Mirva came in with some waves to compliment my work, he killed it!

Thank you to CEPCO, @goufv/@ufv_international, @stolo.community.futures, and @chilliwackartscouncil for sponsoring this project through the @chilliwackmuralfestival. Thank you @ajaxmalone for being so supportive of my work and for spearheading this collab!
