An Apartment State Of Mind
January 3, 2025
Napa typically evokes scenes of wineries, but it's also known for its rolling hills and colorful botany. Recently, Fairfield commissioned local NorCal artist Jolene Rose Russell to create two large-scale murals for The Braydon Apartments in Napa, CA depicting the area's beauty. Inspired by the local flowers from her childhood in the Napa area, Russell customized two cohesive murals spanning 850 square feet each to bring joy to the area and The Braydon residents.
The murals were created on parachute cloth in her studio and applied to the community exterior panel by panel. After the panels were installed, Russell and her team touched up the seams and details by hand to complete the look. Facing the trail that runs behind the community, this landscape-inspired public art is enjoyed by all passersby.
