About the Project
The Utility Box Public Art program is hosted by the City of Calgary and Calgary Arts Development, chosen artists and local community organizations work together to create temporary artworks on local utility boxes.
The design of the utility box celebrates the beauty of nature in the Brentwood community and aims to educate people about the place we call home. Noticing many families with children in the area, I chose to illustrate common birds found in Calgary—species that locals might recognize in their own neighborhood.
This piece is meant to spark both joy and curiosity. I used a vibrant, high-contrast color palette and included rich details to catch the eye. Especially during Calgary’s long winters, I hope the design brings warmth, energy, and a touch of spring to everyday life.
