Birds of a Feather Art Project
Faith, Democracy, and Nature
These paintings travelled with me throughout Edmonton, appearing in public places where its story was shared. “LISTEN” label T‑shirts XL\were created from the art, and worn in public including Edmonton City Hall and the Alberta Legislature. This 2025 work began on the Legislature grounds, where seven painters from all walks of life were invited to add their own strokes. I continued painting through Black History Month at the University of Alberta Students’ Union Building, Hope City Church, at home on cold winter days, and outdoors at Violet King Henry Plaza. Birds of a Feather Art Project, rooted in faith, democracy, and nature, is also a tribute to freedom fighter Dennis Edney, born in Dundee, Scotland, and to Virgil Abloh (Figures of Speech) Chicago, MCA.
