  Laurie wanted to create a piece of community artwork for the Carling Heights neighbourhood.

  One thing you love to do or a place you must visit in London?
  
  A city is nothing without a community of passionate people to give it life. My favourite thing about London is all of the amazing pockets of artists and businesses that are working hard to create special things here. Whether it's the Western Fair or Covent Garden Markets bringing together multiple vendors under one roof, artists painting murals in all the neighbourhoods of this city, musicians coming together to make shows and festivals happen, or my personal favourite event punk rock flea market - the people in this city making their passions happen is the best around and makes London a pretty special city to live and work in.

  About Pamela Scharback
  
  I am an artist who seems to change mediums a lot. I used to be a ceramicist. I guess I still am I just don't make anything in clay right now. Currently I work primarily as a commercial mural artist. I do commissioned portraits also, but I find I change a lot. Although I also work in laser and cnc machined wood, wax and latex. I do miniatures. I love messing with found objects.
  
  Artistic Style
  
  I use bold colours and tend to find inspiration in the natural world -often painting on strong/dark coloured backgrounds. I use both brush and spray and have a very loose illustrative style in my interpretation of flowers, plants insects and symbols.

  One thing I would do in London is to check out the 100 Kellogg Lane Complex. They are making a very cool space over there.

  ABOUT THE MURAL
  
  This mural was created to beautify the Carling Heights area, give neighbours something to brighten their walks and daily commutes and to inspire them to stop and smell the flowers or maybe become a butterfly themselves. This mural was inspired by a love of nature, roots to grow and bloom and including some sentimental references to butterflies in memory of loved ones lost.
