The Tide Flows

Completed: 2018

Michael Burt and Daniel Burt painted this mural to commemorate Wolfville’s 125th anniversary in 2018.

This mural features the poetry of John Frederic Herbin: “The tide flows out as the day expands.” Herbin was a prominent businessman, poet, and mayor of Wolfville. A fifth-generation Wolfville business, Herbin Jewelers houses this tribute to Wolfville’s natural world and its history. The mural also depicts chimney swifts, a local endangered bird species.

Support for this project was provided by the Wolfville 125 Committee through the Town of Wolfville and Rafuse Home Hardware.
