Description of Work:
Ladybug and the Sun is a large outdoor mural at West Richmond Community Centre that
features vivid colours, flowing florals, and little insect details. The artwork depicts the insects
living in a beautiful community garden and interacting with each other happily. The mural
continues onto the roof of the Community Centre with a giant smiling sun overlooking the area.

Artist Statement:
Ladybug and the Sun is a vibrant garden utopia of flowing florals and happy little critters. The
mural incorporates flowers from my own childhood memories growing up in Richmond including
buttercups, daisies, and dandelions. Other local botanicals include cranberries and cherry
blossoms which allude to the city’s largest agricultural crop and historical ties to one of
Richmond’s sister cities, Wakayama, Japan.
