Take a moment to pause, breathe, and discover a new work of art along the Hydrangea Trail. ⚓🌸 Introducing “Anchoring” by artist Randi Barbin

Inspired by both the nautical and emotional meanings of the word, “Anchoring”reflects Atlantic City’s connection to the water while inviting viewers to find a moment of calm and grounding. The painted anchors pay tribute to the city’s maritime heritage, while blooming hydrangeas symbolize beauty, stability, and connection to community.

Randi Barbin is a Brigantine-based artist and co-owner of Dunes Gallery where she creates original artwork and large-scale murals. While much of her work has been inspired by the coastal landscapes of South Jersey, her recent paintings draw from her life as an equestrian, celebrating the horses and people who make up that world.
