Magnolia  - Artist: Lois Chapman Location: Isle of Wight County Museum 

Like her namesake tree known for its beautiful flowers, Magnolia shows her beauty through photographs and maps from the Isle of Wight County Museum's collection to detail the community's rich history. Dressed as a porcine scrapbook, Magnolia offers the viewer a chance to see the elements which make this area unique.




Mason (Windsor Castle Pork) - Artist: Cil Barbour 
Location: Mason Street entrance to Windsor Castle Park 

This pig offers visitors a glimpse of the many activities and elements featured at Windsor Castle Park. Fishing, kayaking, canoeing, scenic woodland trails, open spaces, a natural amphitheater and the historic home enhance this 209-acre riverside park.
