Bridges are more than steel and stone—they are connections, storytellers, and silent witnesses to the ever-changing cityscape. Walter and Friends celebrates Edmonton’s most iconic bridges, capturing their essence through bold colors and dynamic compositions. Inspired by the elegance of the Walter Dale Bridge, this series brings together architectural beauty and emotional resonance, inviting viewers to see these familiar landmarks in a new light.

Each bridge carries its own history, rhythm, and presence within the city’s landscape. From the towering strength of the High Level Bridge to the graceful curves of Walter Dale, these paintings explore the interplay of light, reflection, and movement. Walter and Friends is more than an artistic tribute—it’s a story of connection, of paths crossing, and of the emotions these structures evoke.

This series is a testament to the bridges that shape Edmonton’s skyline, blending history with contemporary expression. Through each painting, the viewer is invited to witness not only the physical form of these bridges but also the deeper significance they hold—linking communities, fostering relationships, and guiding the city forward.

Beyond their function as pathways, bridges hold symbolic meaning—representing progress, unity, and resilience. They span gaps, bringing people together across time and space. Through Walter and Friends, I aim to celebrate not just the architectural beauty of these landmarks but the invisible threads they weave between generations, communities, and memories. Each brushstroke tells a story, each color choice reflects a feeling, and every bridge stands as a testament to the ever-changing yet enduring spirit of Edmonton.
