Over the last two years, I have been immersed full-time in a Canada-wide project called Canada 150 Mural Mosaic. This fantastic project brings together upwards of 150 Canadian communities to paint small 4 inch square "tiles" that combine to create big, colourful mosaics to commemorate Canada's 150th birthday! If you haven't seen these murals, I highly recommend you do, as they are pretty magical! The best place to see them is on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/canada150mosaic.

Each town or city's mural is a rail car, that when connected to all the others (digitally) will form a long train which will unite Canada from coast to coast.  See more at https://www.facebook.com/canada150mosaic.

Just a handful of the hundreds of 4 inch square tiles I've painted for the Canada 150 Mural Mosaic project.  These are in the Victoria BC mural, far left below.

Some of the 75 mural completed murals.  300 to 700 painted tiles comprise each mural, most of which are painted by community residents.  

Not only am I thrilled to be a part of this historic project (it may be the biggest mural undertaking in the world), but I get to fulfill my dream of being a full-time artist while doing so!  Plus, I get to work with a passionate and talented group of people.
