Part of my “Petaluma Landmarks” series, “Petaluma’s Choice” captures one of the town’s most recognizable historic façades — an old ironfront building, its bricks and windows still warmed by the afternoon sun after more than a century.
This fine art piece began as a photograph but was heavily altered in Photoshop to create a painterly effect, blending texture, light, and memory into a single image.
The Coca-Cola sign, painted in the 1920s by the last owner of a local bottling company that dated back to 1860, still clings to the wall — a relic from another era that continues to mark Petaluma’s proud and independent spirit.
“Petaluma’s Choice” is more than a glimpse of downtown — it’s a celebration of the town’s craftsmanship, resilience, and small but enduring pieces of history that have stood the test of time.
Looking for a different size, finish, or frame? While I offer a curated selection of standard options, I’m happy to create a custom print tailored to your space—just reach out and we’ll craft the right fit.
For collectors, designers, and those with expansive spaces, this is available in sizes up to 105x70 inches.
