"Housing First" by Marc Munan
The artwork used in the logo/graphic is based on a painting entitled "Housing First," inspired by Marc's former homes in Columbia and Greenbelt, Maryland. Edmonton-based Marc Munan likes mixing apartments and townhouses. "Housing First" offers a sense of community with substance while remaining pleasing to the eye, says Marc.
