Mural Of Geese Flying Over Portland Is A High Point At New Apartments
North Hollow Apartments in Portland Blend Art & Nature
PORTLAND, Ore., May 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A hand-painted mural of two geese flying over Portland is one of many high points for people living at a new apartment community called North Hollow.
Located at 1551 SW Taylor in Portland's charming Goose Hollow neighborhood, North Hollow offers 121 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments in a community that is classically designed to blend with the distinctive character of Portland's oldest and most beloved neighborhood.
The 60-foot original mural by Pacific Northwest artist Olivia Knapp is a nod to the rich and storied past of the neighborhood. The geese exemplify Knapp's intricate hand drawn pen and ink style, influenced by European line engravings of decorative relief and scientific specimens from the 16th to 18th centuries.
The mural is in the courtyard for all residents to enjoy. An interactive projection system makes the geese look like they are flying through the air in different places and settings in Oregon.

"Living here is within an easy walk to the natural wonders of Washington Park with its hiking trails, thousands of rose bushes and Japanese Gardens. Alternatively, residents can enjoy the tones and textures of our expansive community lounge with its courtyard featuring the fabulous mural or go up to our rooftop terrace to enjoy views of downtown and West Hills."
