Unknown Soldier & Poppies

In 2017, through its Community Grants Program, Wollondilly Shire Council commissioned local artist Joe Quilter to design and paint a mural at the Picton RSL Memorial Park. The artwork, themed around the Unknown Soldier and poppies in a field, provides a striking tribute to service and sacrifice while enhancing the park’s landscape with a vibrant, meaningful public artwork.
