A Nipawin-area artist has offered her services for free after several media outlets in Regina were spray painted with the words “gangstalking human torture” overnight Tuesday.

The words were graffitied on the side of the building which houses the Regina Leader-Post as well as at CTV, Global, Big Dog Radio and Harvard Broadcasting.

April Griffin, who has been an artist for 30 years, says she will gladly travel to Regina to paint murals in order to cover up the graffiti. She first extended the offer in a comment on the Leader-Post’s Facebook page late Tuesday morning, although by the afternoon, the paint on the Leader-Post building had been removed.

“I don’t think you guys, or any of the media, should have to be dealing with this,” said Griffin. “This is not a good way to treat people or reporters or to get what we want.”

While the suspect and their motives have not been identified, Griffin says if the graffiti was an expression of disapproval towards media coverage, then utilizing comments sections or sending a letter are better ways to voice opinions.
