This mural is a contemporary celebration of the many ways we live, play, and explore in the mountains. Using a continuous line as the foundation of the composition, I aimed to create a sense of flow, movement, and cohesion—echoing the connections people may form through a shared love of the outdoors. This hand-painted acrylic piece invites viewers to reflect on their own experiences in nature and the collective spirit of mountain communities.

Jory primarily paints in watercolour and acrylic, drawing inspiration from time spent in the backcountry.
