Caledon Culture Days

This mural was completed in September 2024 for the Town of Caledon for one of their Culture Days Events. Everyone in the community was invited to paint the mural inspired by the local ecosystem. Many people from all ages left their mark throughout the day.

The mural itself titled, “The Bedstraw Hawk Moth and Milkweed”
draws inspiration from the unique roles of the bedstraw hawk moth and milkweed in their ecosystems. The bedstraw hawk moth, or “gallium sphinx moth,” is admired for its rapid, hummingbird-like flight and striking wing patterns, while milkweed (Asclepias spp.) is essential as a primary food source for monarch butterfly larvae. Together, the moth and milkweed support biodiversity and ecological balance by fostering pollinator species and sustaining complex interactions within their shared habitats.
