Meggan Winsley has certainly made her mark on Toronto.
The Haliburton-raised artist is drawing attention downtown in the city, her work being featured at the intersection of Queen Street West and Portland Street.
Winsley is one of 16 artists exhibiting in a public art project celebrating printmaking, in which selected artist’s analogue prints are digitally reproduced on vinyl wraps that are installed on traffic signal control cabinets located at intersections throughout Toronto.

As Haliburton’s afternoon rush hour traffic rolled by, a masked man in a blue and yellow costume, resembling the Marvel character Wolverine, of X-Men comic book fame, waved his gloved hand with plastic claws from the corner of Highland and York Street, holding a sign, reading, ‘Honk to support for the youth of Haliburton.’
Ian McIntosh, the satellite director of Haliburton Highlands Youth Unlimited, later spoke to the Echo about wearing the costume to celebrate the “milestones” reached through the fundraiser ‘One to 100’.
The three-week fundraiser ran just prior to the holidays, via the Giving Box platform.
