"Nature's On Your Side" by MAED Studios |
|
The Humber Lea Bridge mural is part of the Downtown Bolton Revitalization plan. You can visit the mural as you drive or walk past the Humber Lea Bridge. The artist was selected from an expression of interest that was circulated to the public this past summer. Bolton resident Vanessa Spizzirri is the owner of MAED Studios and was selected by the Downtown Bolton Revitalization Task Force to collaboratively design the bridge. The artwork is inspired by the Humber River and natural surroundings of the Heritage Trail. Vanessa hopes that the mural will encourage people to slow down and take in the beauty of the area while bringing some positivity to people's days!

Rails to Trails: Public Art on the Caledon Trailway |
|
The Cardwell Junction murals are part of the Town of Caledon’s Public Art Program and are funded
In my greyscale digital artwork portraying Cardwell Junction in Caledon, Ontario, I delve into the rich tapestry of history woven by iron rails. Through meticulous attention to detail and nuanced shading, I evoke the essence of a bygone era when steam engines echoed through the valleys, connecting communities and driving progress. Cardwell Junction becomes a focal point of reflection on the resilience of human ingenuity and the enduring legacy of railway heritage. This artwork serves as a timeless tribute to the junction's significance, inviting viewers to embark on a visual journey through time and space. |
