MURAL ART + DESIGN
Toronto-based artist specializing in custom
large-scale hand-drawn artwork + painted signage.
Long before I was a painter of murals, I was a consummate appreciator of murals, wandering the alleys of my city transfixed by the shapes, colours, symbols, and typographies that create, in their inspired arrangement, a true sense of place wherever they happen.
My favourite thing about the entire idea of commissioned wall artwork is its way of conveying this universal optimism, that anyplace one is drawn, painted, chalked or sprayed with any degree of creativity and style, must be a place worth the effort to create lasting beauty in. It leaves an impression on the beholder in a refreshingly human, enduring way that printed signage just can't touch; they're hand-drawn and personal, easy on the eyes, and most significantly, one-of-a-kind.
