This mural spans the facade of the August Jack Motor Inn. It features mountain scenery in blues, purples, whites, browns and pinks, featuring a bear face above the Motel driveway, canoes, an orca, and ocean and mountain elements.
Chen was commissioned by August Jack Motor Inn to design and paint a mural for the facade of their building. The motel is located in the heart of downtown Squamish, with a stunning view of The Chief. This nearly 200-foot-wide mural was inspired by the mountains that surround Squamish, the rivers and streams that run through it, the animals that call it home, and the outdoor lifestyle adored by its residents. Chen felt extremely honoured to create this mural for her local community.
