Napa artist Kristina Young is using our natural environment and familiar landmarks to bring art to the community.
âAll of these art projects are meant to bring unexpected joy to the audience. These are pieces that allow the viewer to say, âThatâs my home. This art connects me and makes me feel a part of Napa,â said Young.
Her current projects include a mosaic of classic cars for the south side of Hanlees Chrysler at 473 Soscol Avenue; an interactive sculpture for the Soscol Square development at 333 Soscol Avenue, to be built by 2022; the Napa Quake Mosaic, a community-built project commemorating the 2014 Napa earthquake, which will be sited in downtown Napa; and a group of nature-themed artwork and wayfinding pieces for Heritage House and Valle Verde.
