Mural Project

Coquitlam’s Streetscape Enhancement Program was created to beautify the City, provide engaging public spaces, and support business growth and retention. The program adds new infrastructure and amenities to neighbourhoods currently not undergoing redevelopment. A key component of the Streetscape Enhancement Program is the Mural Project.

In consultation with the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm First Nation, as well as Coquitlam’s Cultural Services Advisory Committee, the first phase of the Mural Project launched in summer 2023, with a series of murals being installed in high-visibility strategic locations throughout the City. The murals will be designed around the themes of belonging and diversity. 

We gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport.

Artist Bio

Laura Kwok is an illustrator and muralist with a playful spirit and an old soul. She is captivated by the beauty of nature and her artwork is merely a small ode to the grandeur of the natural world. Her recent work focuses on capturing the ethereal life cycles of flowers and creating a visual language of botanical symbolism as a means of expression. Laura’s style is often described as bright, whimsical, and full of joy.

Her murals can be found all around the Lower Mainland, having collaborated with local businesses like Pajo’s Fish & Chips and the Steveston Sweet Shoppe, to organizations such as Tourism Richmond, TransLink, and BC Children’s Hospital. Laura hopes to continually connect with humans and strengthen communities through painting and adding colour to the world.
