Installed in 2025 along the Napa Valley Vine Trail in the Rail Arts District, the Napa Quake Mosaic is a 40-foot-long reflection on resilience—geological, communal, and personal. Inspired by underground strata and the disruptions we live with, the design features colorful bands of donated tile and a mirrored epicenter that invites viewers to see themselves within the landscape. Created with over 2,000 community members, the piece preserves the shapes of broken objects contributed after local disasters, turning loss into layered meaning. A meditation on change, healing, and collaboration, it stands as a public tribute to the creative spirit that carries us forward
