Renowned Petaluma artist Michael Garlington is bringing his signature creativity to LUMA Ice with a custom-designed 3D photo drop. Featuring whimsical winter scenes and skating chickens inspired by Petaluma's charm, Garlington's masterpiece is the perfect backdrop for portraits and selfies that capture the magic of the season.

INFLATABILL, aka Bill Kennedy, is an artist and designer based in Santa Rosa. Having learned to use a sewing machine at an early age, it wasn’t until Bill started skydiving in his 20’s that he got serious about his sewing skills and eventually became a Senior Parachute Rigger. A decade later, he used those same skills to begin making inflatable sculpture, and he has been refining his skills ever since. Bill begins by making a 3D computer model that he then uses to create 2D fabric patterns. Sometimes he cuts out the fabric pieces by hand, but he typically lets a computer-controlled fabric cutting table do the hard work. After that, he sews it all together, wires up the electronics, and programs the lights. As much as Bill enjoys making inflatable art, his favorite part is the installation process. Whether it’s a nightclub, convention center, forest, or city park, each location comes with its own set of challenges, and Luma Ice is no different, but this time, Bill is especially happy to be working so close to home.

Petaluma’s own creative duo, Wonderstump (Kirsten Bjore and Josh Cardenas), have designed and crafted custom signage for LUMA Ice. With their signature flair, their work enhances the festive atmosphere and guides visitors through this extraordinary experience.
