Kitchener Mistletoe Stop – GlowToe

Meet the Artist – Skyler Dietze

Canadian artist Skyler Dietze creates sculptural works that transform everyday symbols into playful, visually striking experiences for public audiences. Blending wood, metal, and light, his work emphasizes craftsmanship, curiosity, and storytelling in ways that feel both imaginative and inviting.

Over the past decade, Skyler has delivered large-scale public artworks and interactive installations across North America, from civic gateways to murals and custom fabrications. His projects combine artistic vision with technical precision, ensuring works that are both engaging and durable.

For the Mistletoe Trail, Skyler reimagines mistletoe as a symbol of gathering and discovery. His installation captures the whimsy, inventiveness, and accessible fun that defines the trail, inviting visitors to pause, interact, and celebrate the spirit of connection.

About This Mistletoe: GlowToe

GlowToe reimagines the traditional mistletoe as a glowing wooden chandelier, designed to spark wonder, curiosity, and togetherness in a public setting.

Its radiating wooden arms branch outward in a starburst form, dotted with softly glowing berries. By day, the warm wood gives the piece an organic, sculptural presence; by night, integrated LEDs turn it into a lantern-like gathering point, perfect for photos and creating new holiday traditions.

Bold, whimsical, and instantly photogenic, GlowToe invites visitors to step beneath, share moments, and enjoy a memorable highlight of the Mistletoe Trail.
