The Hawkmoth


Why Hawkmoth?


The Hawkmoth, also known and the sphinx moth or hummingbird moth, is an actual moth.

It was chosen to represent Hawkmoth Arts because of its grace, delicacy and unique appearance. The Hawkmoth demonstrates great precision and care when it gathers nectar because of the way it hovers. These attributes go hand in hand with the process involved in creating the work.


The Hawkmoth lives in many places around the world. If you look closely, you can find them in Virginia, gathering nectar in your flower pots or gardens.
