Dixon native paints 20-foot mural to pay homage to farmers

What comes to mind when you think of the City of Dixon? For one woman — a Dixon native and artist — she thinks of farming and agriculture.

So much so that she created a 20-foot mural of a Solano County farmer and his dog, which can be seen from hundreds of feet away.

The San Luis Obispo-based artist Colleen Gnos wanted to pay homage to the town she calls home.

Gnos is the daughter of Dixon farmer and says the small farming community inspired her art.

She said she hopes the mural will create more appreciation for farmers who spend long hours working to bring fresh food to the public.

The art can be seen by drivers near Dixon heading East on Interstate 80.
