Murals
I'm an enthusiastic artist who is passionate about murals and collaborating with other artists to give back to the community. I hope to participate in more, eventually creating my own designs on walls.

"In biology, the term is “introduced species”, also known as “immigrant species”. This practice made me think of the parallels with Canada welcoming newcomers, and immigrants establishing ourselves as a part of the locale. Each immigrant, each sapling, will retain their heritage and culture while growing — taking root in their new home, while also flourishing in their new environment."
