John Iwerks keeps working on mural at the Wildling

The Wildling is proud to announce an exciting new permanent feature at the museum. Beginning on July 19, artist John Iwerks has been hard at work creating a mural depicting a Valley Oak habitat - one of the most iconic natural features of the Santa Ynez Valley. Amidst the tree will be a variety of local animals - mule deer, owls, magpies, red-tailed hawks and much more. The eight by 10-foot mural will be a permanent feature of the second floor gallery and launches a new endeavor to create a gallery that focuses on the Santa Barbara region.
