That’s me re-painting the Robson Square Labyrinth in Downtown Vancouver . . .
When I first painted this Labyrinth in Robson Square, the idea of also painting the words “Robson Square Labyrinth” along the outside of it remained with me for some time.
I eventually opted to leave it and like Art Installations on display inside the Gallery, my lack of “Labeling” my Giant Outstallation Art allows people to interpret it or choose to refer to it as a maze instead of a Labyrinth, as they wish.
Happy Walking!
Little One wearing a dress full of colourful hearts standing on the Heart I painted at the entrance of my Robson Square Labyrinth!
All her hearts match the colours of the Labyrinth!
Red Hearts, Blue Hearts, Green Hearts, Yellow Hearts!
Sometimes it feels like there are more than one path, or one road, inside a Labyrinth; until you reach the Heart of Labyrinth, its Centre…
The second image in this Instagram post wonderfully captures the moment of contemplation before one enters my Robson Square Labyrinth…

Reflection upon Reflection upon the Heart at the Start of my Robson Square Labyrinth . . .
I am… grateful for being able to learn how the Labyrinth I painted in Robson Square is being walked and reflected upon.
“It’s not every day you find a big green Labyrinth to walk in the middle of downtown.
“Walking this one was a very weird experience.
“It’s in the middle of a pedestrian-only thoroughfare and I got in many people’s way as I followed the path.
“My movements, weaving the meandering path, clashed with the movements of other pedestrians and their straight lines through the street.
“On this day I was feeling very grateful for my greatest friendships which are also some of my greatest loves.
“One of my sweetest, oldest, and dearest friends took this photo of me and it reminds me of how powerful and mesmerizing love between friends can be.
“Our culture grants so much privilege to romantic, sexual, monogamous partnerships and places so much value on the unit of “the couple”… yet the romance and intimacy within platonic friendships is one of the sweetest gifts on this earth, and deserves just as much privilege and celebration💖
“The deep unconditional love from friends has helped me immensely through my grief and heartbreak.
“And I think of them with gratitude every single day.”
Looking west upon Robson Square, you can see my currently Green colour painted Labyrinth . . .
Blessings Appreciated !
“After several days of frazzled energy, encountering this Labyrinth painted on the ground amidst the gingko leaves that already festooned the space, was very much welcomed.
I was hurrying on my way to work this evening but gave myself the gift of time to stop and walk along the Labyrinth’s calming and healing pathway. Blessings to the maker.”
I’ve been waiting for the rain to come and wash away the still visible chalk outlines, then I intend to finish painting the Robson Square Labyrinth in Downtown Vancouver…
