A few of my animal paintings. Materials have included acrylic paint, latex, ink and watercolour. I’ve painted on canvas, wood, furniture, on brick walls and picnic benches. I get particularly excited about creating public art. ❤❤❤

I Love Creating Public Art!
My recent public art projects include the “Elephant Garden” mural outside Railway City Tourism, St Thomas Ontario, part of the “Track to the Future” project, a painted picnic bench for “Celebrate Simcoe: The Global Garden project” placed on the lawn at the Norfolk Arts Centre in downtown Simcoe, a painted bench for ‘Visions of the City’ at the Hortons Market, St Thomas and a Video Conference Platform Digital Backgrounds project for Mural Routes Canada.
Painted Picnic Bench for the Hortons Market
I had the amazing experience of painting a picnic bench for the Horton’s Farmers Market in Downtown St Thomas Ontario.
I wanted to create a mandala to represent community gathering in a circle. The colours are bright and cheerful to add more joy. The shapes within are organic and some are plantlike to represent the harvest and bounty we visit the Market for. Vine-like swirling designs on the bench sections are symbolic of growth. You may also see this mandala as a sunflower, a symbol of hope. I hope this painted picnic bench brings much happiness and magic to our community.
Step-by-step visuals of my process are below.
