Paint and Pixels: Reflecting on 2024 + Exciting Updates 🌟


Hi Reader ,

Welcome to the first edition of Paint and Pixels—where mural art and design come to life. I'm thrilled to kick off this creative journey with you!

As 2024 ended, I reflected on a year of growth, challenges, and vibrant projects, from community murals to expanding my lettering art. However, I began 2025 with some sadness—a newly installed digital mural in Toronto was tagged. While I understand the layers of expression in urban spaces, this experience reminds me how deeply personal art is to us as creators.

Year in Review: 2024

One of my favourite parts of the year was connecting with vibrant communities through my murals. Every brushstroke felt like a conversation, and seeing people interact with my art was deeply fulfilling. A heartfelt thank you to my incredible clients!

I'm currently putting the finishing touches on my blog post reflecting on 2024. In the meantime, here's an image that captures some of this year's highlights:

Creative Tip of the Day

Dream boldly, but start with intention. 2024 taught me that growth happens when you consistently show up with authenticity and purpose. Show up even when you do not feel like it.

Upcoming Projects

🌴 I just completed A Tropical Lettering Mural for a Gym in Toronto
This project blends bold lettering with lush, vibrant rainforest-inspired art. I can’t wait to share the entire process with you!


Thank you for being part of this creative journey. I’m excited to grow together in 2025.

Until next time, stay bold and colourful!

💛 Andrea

Hi Reader , ✨ This month feels a little more personal. I slowed down, for the first time in over four years, to enjoy the summer, which included a trip to Korea filled with long walks, sunny mornings, and a touch of productivity guilt. I don't understand why it's so difficult to slow down, but I'm trying... 🥲 Latest News 🗞️ 🎨 New Mural at Nicaroma: Just before I went to Korea, I painted my second mural at Nicaroma.
