From the Artist: The In Bloom mural showcases a breathtaking selection of Ontario's local flowers, thoughtfully curated to represent the region's rich and diverse flora. Accompanied by the vital pollinators of bees and butterflies, the artwork radiates a message of growth and transformation. With a keen eye for detail and an expert hand, the mural artist has captured each flower at its peak, meticulously showcasing their natural beauty and colors. The flowers symbolize the resilience and beauty of life, thriving in a range of environments and conditions. By including bees and butterflies, the mural emphasizes the critical role that these pollinators play in our ecosystem, and the importance of preserving and protecting their habitats.

"Nature's On Your Side" by MAED Studios |
|
The Humber Lea Bridge mural is part of the Downtown Bolton Revitalization plan. You can visit the mural as you drive or walk past the Humber Lea Bridge. The artist was selected from an expression of interest that was circulated to the public this past summer. Bolton resident Vanessa Spizzirri is the owner of MAED Studios and was selected by the Downtown Bolton Revitalization Task Force to collaboratively design the bridge. The artwork is inspired by the Humber River and natural surroundings of the Heritage Trail. Vanessa hopes that the mural will encourage people to slow down and take in the beauty of the area while bringing some positivity to people's days!
