Butterfly’s Paradise (Garage Door)
97 Wesley St.
This vibrant mural was painted on the single door garage of a townhouse. This whimsical scene depicts a black swallowtail butterfly in a garden of wildflowers. A cool coloured background can be seen with a tie-dye feel painted with greens, turquoises and blues that blend into each other softly and smoothly. Several stems, leaves, and white flowers of the Queen Anne’s Lace plant are layered on top of each other to create depth. In the foreground, a large 3 foot squared butterfly is planting itself on a budding flower. Highlights of green and blue make the butterfly stand out and compliment the background.
Julia Prajza is a Muralist, Lettering Artist & Designer in Toronto. With her multidisciplinary practice, she creates big and bold statement pieces with ornate details, vibrant colours, and a whimsical feel. Emerging into the public and community-engaged art world, Julia wants to bring more joy and positivity into our everyday lives. She is grateful to have co-founded the Neighbourhood Love Collective in order to explore the power of art and its ability to cultivate human connection and improve our mental health.
Fun fact: Black swallowtail butterflies can be found throughout Ontario and southern Canada all the way to northern Mexico. These elegant winged creatures and their caterpillar selves are big fans of plants in the carrot family, which include dill, fennel, parsley, carrots, celery, and Queen Anne's Lace. These butterflies are also swift flyers with short life cycles that total an average of 41-72 days.
