Community Mural Matching Grant Program

Prevent Graffiti with Community Murals

Capital City Clean Up wants to help community groups make Edmonton more beautiful. New for 2010, the Community Mural Matching Grant Program offers up to $2000 to support non-profit community agencies that develop murals in Edmonton neighbourhoods. Murals may be placed on private and public structures, with the property owners’ permission. The goal is to deter graffiti and create a shared responsibility for graffiti prevention in Edmonton.

Community mural grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no limit on the number of times an applicant can apply. There is a limit to the funds available under the program, so please apply early.

To apply, please fill out the Community Mural Matching Grant Program application. If you need more information or help completing the application, please contact the Graffiti Management Program at (780) 442-5302.

Fort McMurray Realtors Newspaper Ad

I've done 40 newspaper ads done for the Fort McMurray Realtors Association. It was a blast because they
gave me total creative license. The only things they asked that I include were the 3 logos at the bottom
and rotate ads by having one focusing on selling a home, the next on buying, then selling, etc.
Oh what fun they were to do!

Painting for sale

I now have one painting for sale - or I can paint/draw something special for you, contact me or leave a comment...

SOLD - Painting for sale - SOLD

My Tulip Painting was sold.

When I was taking photos of tulips (while preparing for a commissioned Painting) I took approximately 60-70 photos of tulips - so she could choose the right painting for her house. I came up with two photos where I loved the composition. Susan chose the photo where the flowers were wide-open, looking very summer-ish. I knew that at some point I wanted to paint the other photo...

I wanted a painting to take with me on the train to Jasper, being part of the ARTIST ON RAILS promotion. I didn't manage to get it finished before the trip but was able to bring it along with me to work on - when I wasn't busy drawing caricatures. I had just a bit more painting left to finish, when I got back. Yes, it's done and it is for-sale...

It looks great on my mantel but as usual, since I picked art as my living, I must put it up for sale.

The size is 24 inches x 30 inches.

For sale asking $400.

The colour in this photo of the Tulip Painting is pretty close to being the painting's true colours (remember everyones computer is slightly different). If you're interested, you can borrow it to see if it fits in your home well. Until then, I will simply enjoy it, until it has a new home!

Mural for the Laugh Shop on Whyte Ave

A mural for The Laugh Shop, at their new location 2nd floor at 103rd and Whyte Avenue in Edmonton. The mural is of people laughing and a few comedians. See if you recognize a couple locals: someone from Perugia Salon & Spa and someone from Chili's, two of the neighbouring businesses! The mural was painted in acrylic paints with anti-graffiti coverage.

Drawing Charactures

It was a great Canada Day. I spent the day drawing charactures in Drayton Valley AB.



There were a lot of people and different events (bands, face painting, art sales, penny carnival....) It was a nice drive out and the weather was great.

I was drawing charactures for four hours, I never count how many I do - but there were a lot, mostly children and teens. It was cute to draw brothers/sisters or friends together.
