A stilt walker performs in the middle of Alberta Avenue during the Kaleido festival in this triptych mural. It was great fun as a mural artist to paint other artists and performers, all of who are based on real people from past festivals.

As a mural artist I loved painting in other artists, who are rotating turns on canvases so that each canvas was touched by each artist. In the background people browse artisan booths, including work from my favourite Alberta Ave artist, Maria Pace-Wynters.

It was a joy to be the mural artist who held up a mirror on the creativity and beauty of the residents of Alberta Ave, and captured the creative exploration and performances in the Kaleido Family Arts Festival on 118 Ave in Edmonton.
