✨ Say Hello to the Yountville Art Walk’s newest addition: “Ginger: Don’t Stop Believing” by sculpture artist Elizabeth Laul Healey! ✨

Elizabeth’s work is centered on positivity, connection, and uplifting the human spirit. She calls her creations Positivity Artwork, with each sculpture incorporating messages and symbols designed to inspire hope, encourage kindness, and help us feel good about ourselves.

There’s so much meaning woven into “Ginger.” The collars on the dogs are set to 11:11, a symbolic time representing oneness, intention, and the sharing of positive energy with the world. The circular motifs throughout the sculpture represent community, love, and the interconnected nature of life. And the mirrors invite us to pause for self-reflection—to remember that each of us has a unique light that shines brightly. ✨

We’re thrilled to welcome Ginger to Yountville and invite you to come experience this joyful piece for yourself. 💛

Don’t stop believing. Keep shining. Keep connecting. Keep spreading positivity. 🌟
