The City of Oshawa began collaborating with Durham College’s Community Collaborations Course in 2015. Over the past four years, student's work has been showcased in three murals located at Civic Square (located on Centre Street at City Hall), vinyl images affixed to the windows of the Arts Resource Centre, and in Alexandra Park adjacent to Lakeridge Health Oshawa as well as inside the hospital. For the 2019/2020 project, we will be choosing locations in our Community Centres and Oshawa Seniors Community Centres.
I began showing my work publicly and creating art for personal and commercial use in 2004. I have participated in exhibitions, events, and conventions throughout the GTA. From the beginning of my journey I have received enormous amounts of motivation from groups and individuals within Durham Region. They have encouraged me and inspired me to find a way to keep art-making a part of my life every day.
