 The Napa Valley sign south of Calistoga, with winter colors. Creating designs for each installation of the project began, for me, with each location — each location has different needs. One of those locations is the Napa Valley sign just south of Calistoga.  The Napa Valley sign south of Calistoga, in December, between rainstorms. I stopped to take a closer look and photograph it one day in December, between rainstorms. I needed also to check out, measure, and count the fenceposts that surround it, since each fencepost will be topped by a heart — and there will be another heart on the fence in between each pair of posts. It was a beautiful day. And it’s a lot of fenceposts — at least 51, when you add the ones directly across the road!

Thank you — I'm glad you liked it! Putting hearts up along Hwy 29 and the Silverado Trail wound up being more of a project than I could manage at the time, along with the other Heart Art installation projects I was doing in Calistoga and St. Helena, but I still love the concept. Leave a Reply. |

Hearts Across the Valley began in 2017 as a community-based public art project in Napa Valley, California, created by artist and art teacher Karen Lynn Ingalls. It is intended to spread love across the valley, and beyond, using the power of Art. Ultimately, hundreds of people will be involved in its creations, and the installations and other artwork created will be seen by valley residents, visitors, and recipients.
