Wiard’s Orchard

Wiards Barn Door 2026

Adrienne has  been working with Wiard’s Orchard in Ypsilanti, MI since 2021. Not only was it her favorite orchard growing up–it’s now one of her favorite places to paint murals at!

In 2021 she painted a ~30ft mural on panels that was installed along the ceiling in the country store. The mural features much of Wiard’s long history dating back to it’s beginning in in 1837!

Since Adrienne is known for painting doors–Wiard’s had her back in 2021 to paint the barn door next to their farm critters.

The door did fabulously until a nearby tornado blew it off the rails in spring 2026. Adrienne designed a new barn door mural, and luckily the old door was able to be repurposed at outdoor artwork on the side of building!

Adrienne has also painted statues for Wiard’s over the years–starting with Alvin & the Chipmunks “life sized” statues in 2024. (yes, I googled it and they’re called life sized even thought chipmunks aren’t 5 ft tall.

In 2026 she designed and painted an apple statue featuring their Wiard’s Logo and their Night Terrors Logos. The Night Terrors side lights up in UV light.
