Medicine Hat Mural Fest started in 2018 when Jeff Goring saw more possibilities for the vandalized brick walls in the city, so he invited artists from across Canada to bring colour and new stories through mural paintings. The murals now found on every street in Medicine Hat’s Historic Downtown come from local and national artists who’ve painted in France, Mumbai, Ukraine, Spain, Portugal, and many other cities and countries around the world.

Young Jarus travels around the world to paint murals, and this piece was a part of the 2021 Medicine Hat Mural Fest. The artist has been a huge influence for the large scale art scene in Canada. Using only a brush taped to an extended pole, he freehands his entire paintings without using a projector.
