Murals




Vibrant outdoor paintings can be found throughout the Niagara region. Many are part of the extensive collection in Welland; others are noted on buildings throughout the downtown areas of Niagara’s cities and towns. Few forms of artistic impression have the ability to transform reality more dramatically than a mural.

FEATURED ARTIST
Heinz Gaugel:
This internationally renowned painter maintained a studio in Fonthill until his death in 1991. Having emigrated from Germany in 1951, Gaugel is famous for his huge mural work, including "Behalt!", a 265’ "cyclorama" on display in Berlin, Ohio. Two more of his murals, "History of the Niagara Peninsula" and "History of the Welland Canal" may be found at the Seaway Mall in Welland.
