Their primary purpose is to energize or soothe the viewer and to harmonize with the surrounding architecture.

She has also collaborated withcreative agencies such as MassivArt, Artgang, Artbangbang, La Centrale des Artistes to name a few. She has over forty murals to her credit, including a tribute to the permanent collection for the International Pavilion for Education and Art Therapy Michel de la Chenelière, from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.

Artwork description
This artwork transforms the pillars of the A40 into a true open-air art gallery in the heart of Montreal’s Saint-Michel neighborhood. Eight local muralists have created some twenty colorful murals on the highway’s columns, thereby kickstarting the area’s revitalization. This artistic gesture serves as a powerful visual landmark for the Circus art district and makes the space more welcoming for pedestrians and cyclists. An initiative by and for the community, designed primarily by local artists and intended for the residents of Saint-Michel.
