An Apartment State Of Mind

Celebrating Local Artists on World Art Day 2022

April 15, 2022

At Fairfield, we know that being a multi-family housing provider is much more than offering apartment living. It’s about being a thoughtful member of the local community. That’s why we’re proud to work with local artists to add something special to our communities. To celebrate World Art Day, we’re highlighting some of the local artists that have contributed art to our communities across the nation.

Amie Jacobsen

Amie J. Jacobsen is a designer, sculptor, and public artist in the Kansas City area who has produced across mediums, including painting, illustration, 3D design, and metal-working. She holds a BA in Studio Art from Western State Colorado and an MFA in Illustration from Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).

The Flame of Inspiration at Embark Apartments in Fremont, CA

At 22 feet tall, the Flame of Inspiration is made of polished stainless steel and thick, colored glass. The towering size and shape represent the spark that begins all great ideas, and the piece was specifically designed to be a place people can sit and contemplate in the presence of something beautiful.

Matt Babcock

Matt Babcock is a professional welder, metal fabricator, and architect. With a background in art history, studio art, urban design, and engineering, he has been producing large scale sculptures and public art since 2008.

Curious? at Radiate Apartments in Redmond, WA

“Curious?” is your official invitation to investigate your surroundings. Depicting a bear puling up the sidewalk to see what’s underneath, the life-size powder-coated aluminum sculpture is a playful connection between our innate curiosity and the local Bear Creek trail. Four aerial “brushstrokes” made of folded metal plates combine to represent the form, movement, and emotional state of the bear, which took more than 200 hours to create and install.

Lady of Fenwick at Fenwick Apartments in Silver Spring, MD

The Lady of Fenwick by BroCoLoco was commissioned specifically for our community as part of an eclectic art collection. Shout out to a few of the other artists who contributed at this community, such as Foon Sham, Margaret Boozer, and Anne Marie Cherre, who created the Club Room’s focal gallery wall (as seen in the header image on this post).

Gordon Huether

Gordon Huether has been creating public commissions since 1989. Since, his projects have ranged from airports and transportation centers to hotels, universities, and museums. Much of his work is inspired by the effects that nature has on man-made materials and pays homage to the awe-inspiring forces of nature.

Silver Twist at The Braydon in Napa, CA

Originally displayed in an exhibition at Bottlerock Napa, this large-scale installation is made of aluminum and glass. The sculpture is prominently situated within a spiral wall in a vehicular roundabout.
