Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina announced their partnership with local artist Channin Fulton for a 375 square foot custom mural for the newly renovated property. The sunny-inspired mural nods to the vibrant San Diego harbor, bringing the waterfront-facing deck to life. Drawing on its roots as a community hub for locals and guests, a redesign for the Marina Tower focuses on the hotel’s public spaces, which underscores Sheraton’s legacy as the world’s gathering place. Channin Fulton is a San Diego artist and designer, specializing in illustration. Fulton has and continues to be inspired by the environment around her, bringing a ‘California vibe’ into her work through bold shapes and vibrant colors. Working locally with such brands including Artelexia, San Diego Snapdragon Stadium, and on a wider scale, the San Diego Tourism Authority x Tripadvisor Campaign, Fulton has deep artistic roots throughout San Diego and was a perfect fit for the Sheraton San Diego project.
