Victoria artist Lori Garcia-Meredith added the octopus when she was tasked with cleaning up graffiti that had marred Queen Victoria’s face in the mural
That’s what Victoria artist Lori Garcia-Meredith came up with when she was tasked with cleaning up graffiti on a mural featuring Queen Victoria that she designed five years ago for a wall in Viaduct Park along the Galloping Goose Trail, near the Selkirk Waterfront.
Garcia-Meredith was recently re-hired by the Burnside Gorge Community Association to fix up the mural and give it new life after it was defaced by graffiti tags over the past year. “[Garcia-Meredith] came up with the idea of putting an octopus on the bicycle. It’s quite lovely because there’s other sea creatures around it. It’s a very whimsical mural.”
She said graffiti removal has been one of the organization’s goals after it received funding from the Union of B.C. Municipalities for work in the Burnside Gorge area.
