Body sugaring is the safest and most superior hair removal technique as it removes the hair from the root while exfoliating the skin
Artist: Dwayne Davis, 2012
Funded by: Friendship Society, Downtown Williams Lake BIA, City of Williams Lake
About:
Dwayne conducted in-depth research at the local museum, online, and with people at the Friendship Society to make this mural as true to history as possible. Research was difficult as very little of the Secwepemc culture has been recorded. The garments worn by the figures picking berries are considered to be accurate by locals as well as the cedar or birch bark baskets they are holding. Other traditional regalia would have been buck skin and feathers or fur. Dwayne had input from many Elders who confirmed and collaborated on getting the details right, especially with the sweat lodge. Modern sweat lodge structures are much the same today, however, instead of hides tarps and blankets are now used. Dwayne remembers seeing the Tsilhqot’in people himself in the 70’s, scraping hides with a flattened hoe on wooden scaffolding as depicted in this mural. The salmon drying in the mural is laid out in Secwepemc style as opposed to Lillooet style. The end result is like a thin jerky. A local dip net builder made sure Dwayne got the dip net tool painted correctly. Depiction of Secwepemc culture’s day-to-day living before colonization. The scene is set behind the Fraser River by Soda Creek where the current Xatsull Heritage Village site is located. Man in foreground is holding a dip net, a tool for fishing that is still used today by the Secwepemc and Tsilhqot’in First Nations in the Fraser. In the background are drying racks for fish and a sweat lodge made of hides. A woman is scraping a hide as it is stretched out on wooden scaffolding.
Artistic Notes:
The painted mural area leads down into a lower entry space, beckoning the viewer to the bottom stair where they become surrounded by the mural. This was a unique opportunity, to paint outside and still have a surround-styled mural. Dwayne focused on making the corners of the space disappear, while merging the separate scenes into a panoramic whole. Two amateur artists, Miranda Fontaine (staff at Friendship Society) and Jamie Moore (summer student at Downtown Williams Lake BIA) helped to paint this mural.
Painted in 2023 by Tiffany Jorgensen and Sarah Sigurdson of Cariboo Art Beat, Unbreakable was designed to represent the culture of Williams Lake. This mural pays homage to the business that has made it’s home at 48 Yorston Street for many years, as well as to our World Famous Williams Lake Stampede. The mural was painted with an air of realism, showcasing our cityscape as the background. Jorgensen commented that the mural depicts the essence of Williams Lake being rooted in tradition, while simutanously breaking through as new and exciting. For her, it holds a true feel of Williams Lake – familiar, beautiful, evolving, and a powerful yet natural presence. This mural was funded by Public Art Grants from Downtown Williams Lake BIA and City of Williams Lake, and by Stampede Glass.

In August of 2010 the WIlliams Lake Cycling Club, City of Williams Lake and the Cariboo Regional District were proud to open the newly constructed Boitanio Bike Park. Covering over 10 acres, the park is the largest of its kind in the interior of BC. It has 6 major jump lines, pump track, drop zone, flow trails and log work right in the centre of the City. We suggest a run on Fox Mountain (Hillbilly is amazing) then roll down Broadway to the Fox Mountain Brewery, over the bank and you’re in the park. Or just session the park all day while the rest of the family relaxes on the grassy fields of Boitanio Park.

About:
This display is made up of three murals located in the foyer of the Cariboo Memorial Arena Complex. Each mural celebrates the rich hockey history of our area, and the importance of sports to building a healthy community. The three teams depicted; Alkali Lake Braves – circa 1931, the Williams Lake Stampeders – circa 1961, and the Williams lake Mustangs – circa 1982, were selected for both their accomplishments, as well as their time frame between them to show how long of a time hockey has been played in the area. Many of the players were imported in and have stayed on and have become important leaders and businessmen in the community.
Artistic Notes:
Painting so many faces together proved to be a challenge. One of the most intriguing parts were to get the head sizes for every one correct. One does not realize that the people in the back row will be just a tiny bit smaller than in the front. One size does not fit all!

The underlying concepts of alternative medicine are far older than those of conventional, allopathic medicine and have in fact infused various healing traditions around the world since the dawn of recorded history.
As early as 5000 BCE, for example, physician-sages formulating the healing traditions of both traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic medicine recognised that human beings were comprised of body, mind and spirit and that health represented a harmonious balance within all three of these aspects of existence as well as the free flow of invisible vital energy.It is important to recognize that we, practitioners of alternative medicine, are not opposed to conventional medical practices and do not hesitate to employ them when dealing with patients faced with acute, life threatening illnesses or injuries.Both systems of medicine have much to offer and the wisest form of health care is one which makes use of each of them in an integrated manner that most fully meets patient needs.

About:
In 2013 Williams Lake was coming out of a depression and Dwayne felt inspired to paint the 1920’s era, a time that felt care-free and playful. He chose to paint a speakeasy scene because he noticed there were three windows on the wall, and that made him think of the three entertainment venues in Williams Lake that burned down: The Maple Leaf Hotel (1920-1977) at 1st and Oliver, the Ranch Motel (1919-1921) at Oliver Street and Mackenzie and the Lakeview Hotel (fire 2005) at Oliver and Yorston. The other half of the mural depicts a bakery, which Dwayne chose as a tip-of-the-hat to the building’s current occupant, Taylor Made Cakes. A speakeasy and bakery from the roaring 20’s era. Find Charlie Chaplin enjoying a moment out of the spotlight.
Artistic Notes:
Dwayne’s mural uses a forced perspective to create the illusion that one could walk into the mural. The original plan was for the business there to set up a patio, table and chairs, which would have added depth to the trompe d’oeil effect. Downtown Williams Lake BIA Summer student, Abbigayle Taylor, worked with Dwayne on this mural. Abbigayle is the daughter of the couple that own and run the bakery Taylor Made Cakes, the business directly beside the mural.

Made Possible by: Dan and Vivian Simons, Spectre Automotive, City of Williams Lake, plus individuals and community groups. (The most prominent of these are acknowledged in a plaque dedicated to the mural.)
About:
(From Dwayne Davis, artist) The mural’s purpose is to show the moose that reside in our area, and to bring awareness to their environmental needs to help keep a healthy and strong population for future generations to enjoy.
The project was originally the brainchild of Kane Fraser. He mentioned to Dan Simons that the wall on the building would make a great spot for Dan to have a mural. Dan in turn asked me at Davis Arts to come up with a concept and a quote. I made a concept package that Dan took around. The original design for the wall was laid out with more sky and smaller sized moose, to help to limit the cost of the project. I was asked by Scott Nelson to make the moose more prominent in the design … “Go big or go home!” So I changed the layout to the design that became the framework of the now finished mural.
Artistic Notes:
Painted mostly in acrylic exterior house paints, the 22 X 55 foot Cow Moose mural was painted over 25 days.

Spearheaded by Andrew Sandberg, president of the Daybreak Rotay Club, this mural salutes all of the volunteers in our community. The Rotary Recognizes Volunteers mural was painted in 2022 by Dwayne Davis, with the Rotary logo, trees and many helping hands providing a foundation, volunteers from our community were then invited to participate in the finishing of the mural, adding their own hand prints as the leaves on each of the trees in the mural. It is a true testiment to our community, and the spirit of giving to one another through our time and efforts. This mural was funded by public art grants from Downtown Williams Lake BIA and City of Williams Lake, and by Williams Lake Daybreak Rotary Club and Rotary Club of Williams Lake.
