Sunrise, 82’ x 20.5’ commissioned by the owners of Form and Build Supply in Kitchener. One of the key design goals was for the mural to convey joy and serenity. The artwork’s design is inspired by hope - contemplating brighter days ahead, and the calm yet uplifting feeling of watching a sunrise and being surrounded by nature. The cardinal is symbolic of remembering loved ones. A bright and happy colour palette is softened by the use of pastels, with elements intentionally rendered in a style reminiscent of kids play-doh, crafts and origami, to create a playful and whimsical feel.
