Months after nearly dying from a cerebral aneurysm, Sudbury artist Monique Legault returned to her craft and painted a colourful panorama on the town's Municipal Hall

Monique Legault has been a working artist for 30 years and the lead on more than 1,000 diverse projects around northern Ontario, but her most recent work an hour east of the Sault is perhaps the most inspiring.

“I was given a 50/50 chance of surviving the surgery,” she said. “I didn’t think I would make it; I was sure I was going to die. If I did make it, I didn’t think I was going to paint again.”“I feel so much better,” she said. “I’ve been told I’m fine and that everything’s okay now. The fact I can paint again now is amazing. I want to make sure I do as much as I can before I can’t again.”

During the design phase, the town went through their archives and found several old images of the area to be used as inspiration for the project. Measured at 12 feet high by 70 feet wide, this mural is the fourth-largest piece Legault has ever worked on.
