She knows this building could be pulled down, or a new development could go up right beside it, hiding her work from view, but she said it’s still worth all the effort.

I personally think these are great. Not everybody is going to like every mural but they add more variety to the streetscape. That stretch of Hollis in particular is very drab.
Interesting. Thanks for posting it!

That's the beauty of art, not everybody is in favour of it, but it does affect everybody who sees it in one way or another. I've actually seen some graffiti on passing trains that is really cool, like a rolling art show. Then I've seen some 'tagging' type of graffiti that is just vandalism... it's all in how it's done and the viewers' perspective.

Murals are taking it to a whole other level. I really like some of the murals that were done in Mulgrave Park, some really nice quality work there.
