“Faces of Petaluma” project, sponsored by the Petaluma
Leadership Group and local businesses and headed by
internationally known ceramic artist and mosaicista, Donna Billick
of Davis, California. The community turned out in force to create
self-portraits in clay, the goal being their inclusion on the fascia of a public fountain that Donna had been commissioned to design
and fabricate for the central downtown area.
After firing all of the 844 “faces” the portraits of Petaluma citizens were set in panels filled in with a quilt of colorful broken tile mosaic, most of it procured through the generosity of Heath Ceramics in Sausalito. The next step was the installation of the
panels on the foundation of the fountain as well as the completion of
the mosaic in situ. It looks fantastic!
