Avril Wu is a multi-disciplinary artist and designer based in Toronto. She gained recognition for her playful, colourful illustrations often seen on food/beverage packaging and murals on the streets of Toronto. 

 

Born in Malaysia and raised in Toronto, Avril is the most influenced by the breathtaking landscapes and cultures she’s encountered throughout her travels around the world. With a vibrant, geometric aesthetic, Avril mixes dream-like doodles, simple iconography and clean-cut shapes, creating imaginative worlds and characters.

 

In addition to mural work, Avril has adapted her illustrations to various industries and brands. Notable clients include Tim Hortons, Wattpad, Absolut Vodka, The Delta Hotel, Collective Arts Brewery, Smorgasburg, City of Toronto and Rendezviews (The Ballroom Toronto).
