Public Artwork for the City of Pickering, Dorsay Community & Heritage Centre, 2026

I had a really wonderful experience creating this piece for the City of Pickering's new Dorsay Community & Heritage Centre. This is a 5-feet-tall x 8-feet-wide piece with two smaller collages set on each side. The process included community feedback and collaboration with Ellen at the City of Pickering. The piece includes imagery from areas in and around Pickering, with the natural elements focused on native plants to the area.

The Dorsay Community & Heritage Centre is Pickering’s newest cultural landmark and a stunning 44,000‑square‑foot destination where community, creativity, and heritage come together. Made possible through a landmark naming partnership with Dorsay Development Corporation, the Centre brings the Museum, Library, and Community Centre into one vibrant space offering cooking programs, arts and music classes, wellness activities, engaging events, and Pickering’s first dedicated exhibit gallery. 

As the new gateway to Pickering Museum Village and home to the innovative Greenwood Heritage Library, the Centre invites residents to explore local history, enjoy modern amenities, and connect in a setting overlooking Duffins Creek. With its distinctive architecture and picturesque surroundings, it also serves as an exceptional venue for weddings, celebrations, and milestone events.
