Mural painter Lila Gemellos coordinated over 20 painted murals for the Santa Clara county fairgrounds. Each community selected the artist they wanted to portray their community, and it was a treat to meet other San Francisco Bay Area muralists! My portrait mural is a visual collage representing Los Altos, California. It pays homage to the orchards and farmers that played a part in our area’s history.
The background is from a historic map advertising lots for sale to farmers in Los Altos in the 1800s. It tips its hat to the apricot orchards that have played a part in our area’s history.
Over 20 hand-painted murals by local muralists represent different communities in Santa Clara County from Sunnvale to Los Altos.
Thank you for bringing local artists together, Lila!
