Nature Art

Local artist, Nickie Lewis, has created a variety of unique eco-art sculptures throughout the community. Nickie specializes in the creation of art installations that focus on nature and sustainability. Sustainable materials from local parks, green waste and natural jute twine are used to make these mythical creatures and sculptures. As you explore our Park spaces keep your eye out for one of her creations.

• Aster the Dragon at Queensborough Community Centre: A big beautiful beast has taken up residence on the lawn of the Queensbourgh Community Center! Come meet Aster, the 25ft dragon made completely from greenwaste materials and jute twine! 
• Community Mural at Queen’s Park: The mural depicts a creature named Wren, and features natural elements, such as sticks and twine, woven into the chain-link fence of the former farm site. Macramé cord through the fence creates a colourful backdrop. The community is invited to use natural materials such as sticks, leaves, and pinecones, to create their own creatures and artistic additions to the mural. Help the garden grow by watering Wren.
