Squamish Valley Music Festival 2015

Squamish Valley Music Festival is a four day long art and music festival that takes place in Squamish, BC. In 2015, I was asked to contribute my time and effort into creating a mural alongside a roster of talented local artists. It was my first mural and certainly gave me more trouble than I was anticipating, but the end result was well worth it.
