1 of 2 projects for City Ventures at their Cherry Blossom Row homes the Monk by Martin Taylor. For the second installation, we knew Sean Orlando would be the right artist/fabricator for cherry blossom trees as he has his shop right down the road from this site and a favorite of the City of Richmond’s public art department
~
🔂• Martin Taylor “The Monk” is installed at his new home in Richmond California across from the Tibetan Association. The famous yellow hat that Buddhist monks wear represents the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism. The Gelug school was founded by Tsongkhapa in the 15th century. It emphasizes strict monastic discipline and Buddhist study. ☸️ Thank you to Local Edition Creative for this placement 🙏🏻

Diego Harris draws inspiration directly from natural patterns, particularly spirals and organic structures found in plants, water, and wind.

Born in Baja California (AKA Mexico) and now based in Upper Lake, California, Harris has been working as a professional artist since 2007. With experience across a wide range of materials, including recycled metals and mixed media.

This procurement for the City of Vacaville is placed in Andrews Park, above a creek and with trees all around, it’s a fitting scene for “Aurora”. Diego’s sculpture was most recently on display at Oxbow Market in Napa, before landing in Vacaville as a permanent public art piece
Thanks to Melody Land with Vacaville Parks & Recreation
To see more of Diego’s work on FB it’s Diegoharrissculpture
Local Edition Creative curated a mural program in Vacaville, now we’re helping to add to the collection with 3D works

What’s coming up?

DOWNTOWN LIVERMORE · OCTOBER – NOVEMBER 2026

The Great Elephant Migration is coming to Livermore, CA
⚜30 life-size elephant sculptures ⚜The herd’s only stop on the West Coast in 2026 ⚜Free to the public, in the heart of Downtown

The Great Elephant Migration is a public art exhibition of life-size Indian elephants, a global fundraising adventure to amplify Indigenous knowledge and inspire the human race to share space. Each elephant is modeled on a real animal in southern India’s Nilgiri Hills. Around 200 Indigenous artisans of the Coexistence Collective built them by hand from lantana camara, an invasive w**d that crowds elephants out of the forests they depend on.

Harvesting the w**d used to make the sculptures contributes to restoring the habitat. Special exhibits and sales of the sculptures help fund the mission. Across the tour, proceeds support more than 20 conservation groups working on human and wildlife coexistence.

There have only been 7 US cities where this has been displayed - We are the 8th stop in the US!

Talking Heads installed today!

Talking Heads by Oleg Lobykin is an 18-ft high abstract sculpture, a spatial composition based on a balance between negative and positive space in conjunction with a line that can create an image or point of reference to spark imagination.  The sculpture’s form explores the principles of positive and negative space, void and substance. By interacting with their reflections in its mirrored-polished finish, viewers are invited to interpret the artwork’s meaning from their own unique perspectives.

Talking Heads will be on display for one year.
Media: Stainless Steel
Dimensions: 18’ x 9’ x 9’
Weight: 2000 lbs

Illumination; light and shadow give public art installations life at night so it’s not just something to enjoy in the daytime, it’s a 24/7 experience
“Where the Fountain Dreams” By Paz de la Calzada (1st image) and “Touch the Sky” by Martin Taylor (2nd image & photo by Cheryl L. Guerrero) are excellent examples of this
Speaking of illumination, how about checking out the artist talk now on Vimeo that features three of the five artists who recently installed grand works in Downtown San Rafael. Our moderator Aimee Espiritu sat down with Bryan Valenzuela, Wyatt Heresy and Paz de la Cazalda for an illuminating view on them and their work! - link in bio

6th year of the Mare Island Artyard ~ where has the time gone?
Local Edition envisioned this project and its importance, thank goodness also saw the vision and backed it. Thus a great partnership began to bring public art to Mare Island, one of the most intriguing places to visit in the Bay Area.
Come check out the art, the history of the oldest Naval Shipyard on the West Coast, and where industrial collides with the natural world.
Thank you to the artists and their teams, our team, and the strong support from our many friends in the community.
In addition to the Artyard, we’ve created 3 significant murals and many other visual art pieces, many by Vallejo and Solano County artists.
Cover sculpture is the latest arrival of a jaw dropper and mic dropper by .heru. Click the link in our bio to learn more about Zulu and his sculpture, Farmer the Rigger, as well as sculptures currently on display by and .metal for the 2026/27 Artyard Sculpture Exhibit.
