Mount Royal University Centennial Mural Mosaic
Mount Royal University will begin celebrating their centennial in September 2010, making them the second oldest post-secondary institution in Alberta. - —a massive, hand-painted mural mosaic, designed by Lewis Lavoie, that depicts the most significant people and stories connected to Mount Royal over the past 100 years. Wendy Palmer was chosen to paint a panel to represent the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics, where MRU housed the Olympic Media during the 1988 XV Winter Olympics.
I decided to paint the XV Winter Olympic Medal to represent this event, as this precious piece of metal, is a recognized symbol of excellence. The Olympics is the most popular sports event throughout the world, with all participants competing for one thing, the symbol of excellence, the Olympic Medal.

Le Cadeau du Cheval - The Horse Gift - Cloud
Wendy Palmer is honored to be involved in a unique art project called Le Cadeau Du Cheval - The Horse Gift, created by Mural Mosaic to celebrate the strength, beauty and energy of the horse through art. She has just completed a painting of "Cloud", the Wild Stallion of the Rockies documented from birth for a PBS Nature Series. Wendy decided to paint Cloud in order to honor and raise awareness of the wild horses in North America. Mural Mosaic is thrilled to have assembled some of the world's finest equine artists together for this stunning mural project. The Mural Mosaic project is a very organic process. As each painting is completed the mural slowly comes to life. We encourage you to continually revisit the mural page and watch as the mural develops leading up to the unveiling September 3, 2008 at Spruce Meadows, Calgary, Alberta. The mural will then go on tour for approximately two years. www.muralmosaic.com/Cadeau.html .
