Po’s Life-Sized Art: How Did it Start?

Art and building are part of my family history. I grew up around carpenters and house builders, working in wood shops and construction sites from a young age. Supporting construction work as a child taught me how to create strong, life-sized structures. That foundation now shapes my installation art and large-scale mural work.

Po: a Kingston Sculpture / Installation Artist Who Paints

I’ve always loved painting and building, which led me to specialize in Sculpture and Installation during my BFAH.

Two Early Studio Artworks

In 2017, I created the installation, “Tree,” and the mural, “Bear.” The two artworks marked the start of my professional art career.

Po’s First Mural Was Commissioned by Queen’s U ASUS in Kinston, Ontario

In 2021, the Arts and Science Undergraduate Society commissioned me to paint a mural for the Indigenous Reflection Room in Kingston Hall. The design was based on artwork I created in 2017 for the ASUS Journal of Indigenous Studies.

Designing Murals and Installation Art Using Digital 3D Modelling

Using my drafting and 3D modelling skills, I showed how the piece would fit the space. Although it was a 4′ x 4′ painting, it launched my work as a Kingston muralist.

Po’s Portable Murals are Integrative Installations

My specialty is freehand, brush-painted murals that function as storytelling pieces for changing spaces. These contemporary Kingston murals blend mural art with installation art, creating personal, transportable works that support community and client vision.

Contemporary Moveable and Durable Mural Installations

Traditional murals are large wall paintings applied directly to exterior surfaces. Today, mural art also includes smaller, moveable, durable installations. I create contemporary murals for residences, offices, institutions and community spaces.

brings life to your story & space.”
