In this spirited mural installation titled Strand, Nicole Salgar captures the bold, hand-crafted essence of small-batch culture. Set among the polished wood and steel backdrop of a local bar, the work features beautifully hand-painted barrels branded with artisan distilleries like FEW Spirits and Dulce Vida Organic Tequila — blending craft beverage heritage with a gritty, modern charm.

Salgar’s signature attention to texture and tone elevates the barrels from décor to story — celebrating the makers, the movers, and the slow-sipped moments that define community. The mural feels right at home in its setting, where flavor, conversation, and culture are poured daily.
