With the theme of "heritage" I chose to create a design that reflected my personal heritage of growing up in Whitby, a town supportive of the arts where as a child I was able to thrive, learn and teach in the arts, carrying on into my post-secondary education and into my career in Toronto and New York City. Had these interests and talented not been encouraged and guided as a young child, I would not be where I am today, content with a career in a creative field, hence why I chose the quote "The creative adult is the child who survived". I would like the mural to stand as a reminder to future generations to stay creative and to use their imaginations.
