We All Come From Water

On September 12, 2025, the Town unveiled a new mural large-scale mural at 19 Taylor Road.

Painted By Jacquie Comrie, this colour therapy mural installation brings vibrancy and wellness symbolism to the Downtown.  In a world driven  by trauma, we are living through times of overwhelming  socio-political- economic turmoil. Grief, loss, isolation and anxiety of our uncertain future are at the forefront challenging our state of mind and collective wellbeing.  Colour, the universal language of emotions, is the pulse of We all Come from Water, a work that transcends mere aesthetics. This is a sanctuary where water, light and energy converge to heal and transform.   Through the lens of colour psychology and colour therapy, this work celebrates the importance of Water to the Bracebridge region, while welcoming us all to pause, breathe deeply, and immerse ourselves in the therapeutic power of colour.  People visit this region to heal, seek calmness and grounding. This work honours and looks to contribute to that experience of healing. Prompting a moment of introspection, this work  creates a space of colour therapy for everyone.  

Chromotherapy also known as Colour or Light Therapy:  holistic healing practice that uses colour to balance energy in the body. Different colours have different frequencies and vibrations, each affecting the human body in unique emotional, physical and psychological ways.  This is the core of this project. 

This project was completed in partnership with the Downtown Bracebridge Business Improvement Area (BIA).

About the Artist

Comrie’s large-scale mural uses bold colours, flowing movement, and local imagery to reflect Bracebridge’s strong connection to nature and water. Inspired by the waterfalls, rivers, and lakes that define Muskoka, the mural incorporates abstract patterns drawn from local fish species such as rainbow trout, northern pike, and lake trout. Shades of blue, green, and vibrant accents come together to evoke healing, balance, and renewal, themes central to Comrie’s work with colour therapy. 

We All Come From Water is about honouring water as a source of life and wellness. I hope this piece invites people to pause, breathe, and feel connected to both the landscape and each other. It was my pleasure to create this piece for Bracebridge and work with two talented artists to bring it to life.” - Jacquie Comrie, Artist
