About the Work
All my life I’ve lived in Parkdale and over the years have seen it develop into a welcoming and vibrant community. Wanting to create a piece that showed how everyone was welcome, I chose to depict all the different types of housing that can be found in the area. I wanted to show Edmond Place being created, proudly taking its place in our community.
