Artist Maella Ginn is trying to make a name for herself in the qathet region after moving here from Langley three years ago. She is currently working on a mural outside Bloom Wildly florist, located on Marine Avenue.
Bloom Wildly owner Janet Lowes said her landlord gave her permission to get creative, so she asked Ginn to take on the mural project outside her store.
"I have done many murals and I also worked for the movies," said Ginn. "I recently finished one outside the hospital."
She describes what she is painting right now as abstract and inspired by Lowes floral work.
"I probably drew 10 different drawings," said Ginn. "This is more abstract, but it's beautiful."
