Visual excellence furthers the Hallmark Inn in their quest to provide exemplary service as acclaimed artist, Stephanie Taylor, is installing a 1000’ square foot mural “Birdseye View” at the Davis property this week.

Taylor is the creator of fantastical works of art including    13 murals in the Sacramento area, “Amelia & Friends” located in the Hilton Hotel at the Oakland Airport, artwork in the suites and concessions at Raley Field and since 1986 she has produced many paintings/murals for the UCD Medical Center.  In addition, Ms Taylor has created both national and international projects, working with Disney (Paris, CA and FL), Nittettso Shoji Corporation (Japan) and various cities to enhance their interior and exterior architectural space. Ms. Taylor, a 4th generation Californian, said “I am especially thrilled to create a great watercolor painting of the incredible agricultural landscape between Davis & the coastal range.” The impact from a mural of this style and magnitude is significant for this location and is expected to attract art loving visitors.

In recent years, the Hallmark Inn has been consistently upgrading the property and is an unvarying source of support to the local community.  The property has introduced luxury bedding, a breakfast program that includes cooked to order omelets, increased environmental awareness with its progressive power efficiency, water conservation and most recently the addition of BeeKind amenities which supports bee research at the University of CA Davis.  The pinnacle of the changes is culminating with the installation of this exceptional mural, further promoting the local businesses and the community by both showcasing the great Central Valley and supporting local artistry!
