Check out this beautiful mural by one of our K’ómoks artists!

I haven't posted in a while as I've been healing and trying to get my body to function properly.

I was selected to paint a mural on Aspen Park school by the district!

It was a long wait for the weather to be reasonable enough to work through.

It ended up either raining or burning hot hot sun and as a very heat intolerant person, this was tough! But I did it! it took me small bursts of hours as much as I could physically handle and even with my pain and physical issues, I did 1-3 hour shifts as often as I could.

After roughly 30 hours from sketch to final UV coating, here it is!

My interpretation of the K’ómoks Glacier, Queneesh the white whale.

"The legend of Queneesh is a foundational story for the K’ómoks people, representing protection, resilience, and unity in times of challenge. By incorporating this imagery with a spectrum of colours, the mural honours our heritage while embracing the evolving, inclusive spirit of our community today.

This piece is designed to be both visually striking and deeply meaningful. The rainbow progression makes the mural vibrant and welcoming from a distance, while the embedded cultural elements invite closer viewing and deeper reflection. It celebrates the land, the people, and the values that make Comox unique."

Thank you for reading!

Check out this gorgeous humpback whale printby Sandy Johnson!
Sandy Johnson is a Kwakwaka'wakw artist from Gilford Island, BC.

Humpback whales are migratory, and a growing population of these ocean giants spend their entire summer feeding in BC waters. Humpbacks that spend their summer in BC typically begin their migration South in the early fall.
