She has done more than thirty murals in North America including Los Angeles, Monterrey, Miami, Vancouver...and now Montreal. In fact, two in Montreal as she participated at 2019 Mural Festival, you can see the evolution of this mural from Street Art #175 to Street Art #182.

"The idea for the mural is about the Mile End, the creators, the entrepreneurs and the artists who make this neighborhood alive. The image will represent a woman with a bird cage, to symbolize freedom and free spirit. Several elements will recall different cultures of the Mile-End." - Ola Volo (source - French)
