Renfrew Community Hall South Patio Mural Project

With a theme of whimsy, joy, beauty and hope, artist Billie Rae Busby created a mural in her signature abstract landscape style. Busby developed her design by interviewing staff at the nearby Stanley Jones School (an important landmark in the community) and collecting pictures from community members, via a social media callout, to inspire the mural. She created three sketches for the Renfrew Community Association board to vote on.

The final palette featured nine colours, including a sand and navy blue as an ode to the Stanley Jones School’s sandstone exterior and its longtime school team colour.
