So this is where it started...
Mid-wild-hot-summer, the gallery window at Matilda Gallery Art Bar gets smashed in the middle of the night.

Matilda Gallery & Art Bar
Opened in 2023, Stratford-based Matilda Gallery & Art Bar expands what we offer visitors and artists alike. In our Art Bar, visitors can enjoy a glass of wine and a snack while exploring the gallery, taking in live music, and connecting with like minded people. The Art Bar is a multifunctional space set up for artist-led workshops, performances, private events, adult birthday parties, date nights, studio rentals and more!

Emergency murals are a thing.

I free-handed this mural in about 20 minutes with a pencil, looked through my stash of paints, and started painting.
The only thing I was thinking was:
JOY, RESILIENCE & FUN.
Read more about the process in the article below that was featured in the Stratford Times Newspaper :)
