Ice cream shop mural by GingerBeard Artworks in Calgary

I am a 40 year old male who spent nearly my entire adult life as a framer, building houses in Calgary for 20 years. In the summer of 2021 I fell into a basement at work, shattering my heel. I threw myself into my art, which I had always put on a back burner. I have been off work for almost 3 years and have been offering my artistic services to the city for the last year to 18 months. I specialize in portraits, both graphite grey scale, and acrylic painting on canvas. I’ve also done a few landscapes, some metal engravings and some furniture building and design. My two largest and most visible pieces were; a mural for a wonderful couple in airdrie all done cartoon style, featuring their prize winning Great Danes. It was about a 3 week project, and covered a lot of area. The other was a recent mural inside the new Abbeys Ice Cream shop location in Mission. It took about 3 days. But I’ve definitely had my fare share of strange and exciting customers and jobs that have kept me growing as an artist! My full online portfolio is at GingerBeard dot Imprimo dot ca
