“Harmony Across Horizons” 2024

“Harmony Across Horizons serves as a visual celebration of the unique bond between Burlington and Itabashi, promoting the values of peace, unity, and global understanding. The design encapsulates the essence of Itabashi’s meaning, “plank bridge,” while celebrating the beauty of plum trees, swirling water energy, and employing a woodcut-like style. The mural’s focal point is a gracefully arched plank bridge, symbolizing the connection between Burlington and Itabashi. This is mirrored on the back of the design, with a representation of the Burlington Canal Lift Bridge. The bridges serve as a visual metaphor for the cultural ties that unite the two cities.”

“A Brighter Future”  2023

This artwork is a celebration of the vibrant diversity of women captured in swirling patterns of colour. It is about looking forward to a bright future after all our struggles, hardships and heart breaks. Being a single parent who has survived an abusive relationship I can strongly identify with this. This painting speaks about overcoming and rising above to create a better, brilliant future for ourselves and our children.

To commemorate Women’s Day on March 8, 2023, YWCA St.Thomas-Elgin installed this outdoor wrap mural in front of the main office at 16 Mary Street, St Thomas, Ontario. This location is not only a significant building to the hundreds of women, men and youth who have received services through their programing over the years but it has also remained a women’s residence since 1928 when it was originally built.

“YWCA has adapted, pivoted and listened to what would serve our community best through a diverse portfolio. We believe that we think outside the box (beyond the box) to meet challenges and changing community needs. We advocate for equity, ending violence against women and lobby for affordable housing for women and gender diverse peoples.”

Mayor Sakamoto (Itabashi), Mayor Meed Ward (Burlington) and Ann-Marie Cheung (Artist)

“The City of Burlington hosted a delegation from our twin city, Itabashi, Japan, over Canada Day weekend. Following a courtesy call inside our council chambers on Sunday (June 30) to welcome our guests, including Mayor Sakamoto, a Sakura tree was planted at City Hall and then public art was unveiled at Spencer Smith Park.

Ann-Marie Cheung’s “Harmony Across Horizons” serves as a visual celebration of the unique bond between Burlington and Itabashi, promoting the values of peace, unity, and global understanding. The design encapsulates the essence of Itabashi’s meaning, “plank bridge,” while celebrating the beauty of cherry trees, swirling water energy, and employing a woodcut-like style. The mural’s focal point is a gracefully arched plank bridge, symbolizing the connection between Burlington and Itabashi. This is mirrored on the back of the design, with a representation of the Burlington Canal Lift Bridge. The bridges serve as a visual metaphor for the cultural ties that unite the two cities.

Our guests then enjoyed the wonderful Canada Day celebrations at Spencer Smith Park, which included a Japanese drumming performance by Nagata Shachu.

The delegation then presented the City of Burlington with a gift (a woodblock print from famed artist Utagawa Hiroshige) at a special dinner before they took in the spectacular drone show and fireworks display.”

My First Year Studying Landscape Design

I’ve embarked on an exciting new journey delving into the realm of Landscape Design. The decision to merge my fervor for art and design with my profound love for nature and gardening has been a deeply enriching experience. Over the recent years, my enthusiasm found expression in crafting various public art pieces, such as vibrant murals and intricately painted picnic benches.

The allure of outdoor spaces has consistently fueled my creativity, inspiring me to explore and contemplate the idea of transforming environments on a broader scale. This pursuit aligns seamlessly with my passion, and I’m eager to share the evolving chapters of this transformative journey with those who appreciate the harmony between artistic expression and the natural world.

Unveiling the Palette: Color Trends Dominating 2024

As we step into a new year, the world of design and fashion is already buzzing with anticipation for the latest color trends that will shape our visual landscape. In 2024, expect to see a vibrant and diverse palette that reflects our collective desire for positivity, sustainability, and a touch of the unexpected. Let’s dive into the hues that will dominate the realms of fashion, interior design, and beyond.

  1. Nature’s Embrace:

In 2024, the color palette takes inspiration from the natural world, with earthy tones and botanical shades at the forefront. Think deep forest greens, rich terracottas, and warm browns. These nature-inspired colors not only evoke a sense of tranquility but also align with the growing emphasis on sustainability and environmental consciousness.

  1. Futuristic Neutrals:

As we embrace technological advancements, neutral tones are taking a futuristic turn. Cool grays, metallic silvers, and sleek whites are set to dominate interiors and tech-inspired designs. These colors exude a sense of sophistication and modernity while maintaining a versatile and timeless appeal.The Color Trends for 2024: Comforting Neutrals & Positive Accents - The Nordroom
