Gabriel Pons returned to Embrey Mill in Stafford, Virginia to incorporate additional graphics on the future Turning Point Restaurant location. Based on conversations with the client, Pons proposed incorporating farm animals such as a chicken and cow to the South Elevation as well as the slogan “A Happy Day Starts Here” on the East Elevation.
First Friday Opening Reception: Paintings by Hayden Griffith
PONSHOP is excited to exhibit the paintings of Hayden Griffith for the month of February. Hayden is an Alum of The University of Mary Washington where she studied Studio Arts, graduating in 2024. She also works at PONSHOP, providing classes and sharing the process of their painting among the community.
Hayden’s work connects natural environments and animals with the home. This harmonization expresses feelings on environmentalism and childhood memories. Hayden emphasizes the process, organic form, and color scheme in these paintings. Done in oil, the works range in size (the largest is 36” x 36”) to emphasize the details.

PONSHOP Creative Cafe Opening Announced
Opening Day: Thursday, February 13 (11:30am-5pm)
Celebrate your creativity and the love of friendship this Valentine’s weekend at the newly opened Creative Café at PONSHOP Studio. You deserve a moment to relax, connect, and engage in a fun art exercise. Choose from three inspiring self-guided art projects, sip a comforting cup of tea, and make something uniquely yours. Bring your friends and turn your holiday weekend into a celebration of creativity and connection!
The idea of a casual and creative space stems from PONSHOP owner, Scarlett Pons, who envisioned an experience where guests can engage in something creative and simultaneously communal.
“Through the years, so many of our customers will see our shop and say ‘I don't have a creative bone in my body.’ We’re offering an opportunity for them to literally play for a while, free of expectations.”
“The joy comes in the process” says PONSHOP co-owner Gabriel Pons. “Through the years, many of our past students remarked on how relaxing an art project can be. This provides a space where guests can take a break from their day, slow down, and hopefully feel refreshed and inspired afterwards.

"Legacy" Mural at Kate Waller-Barrett Elementary
Gabriel Pons collaborated with Kate Waller-Barrett Elementary to paint a mural as part of an ongoing initiative by the Stafford Museum and Cultural Center , Stafford County Public Schools and the Stafford Education Foundation. The goal of the mural initiative is to highlight the unique history and culture of Stafford County in new and innovative ways.
Located in the school’s cafeteria, the mural is titled, “Legacy”, and depicts the school’s namesake, Kate Waller-Barrett with an assembly of families, rendered in gestural lines and forms. At the start of the project, my initial question was “Who is Kate Waller-Barrett? and how can I spark interest in her story?” After doing plenty of homework, I assembled this summary which only scratches the surface:
Kate Waller-Barrett was born in Stafford County on 1857 and grew up to became a prominent physician, social reformer, and humanitarian. Dr. Barrett became General Superintendent of the National Florence Crittenton Mission, a progressive organization established in 1883 to assist unmarried women and teenage girls in need. She also played an active role in the National Council of Women. Her multi-faceted work impacted the health and livelihood of countless women of that era, advocating for women’s suffrage, healthcare and education.
Preliminary Concept Drawing
One of the most impressive qualities of Kate Waller-Barrett’s impact on the community was her sustained efforts at social justice for women through political activism. She was vice president for the Equal Suffrage League in Virginia, president of the National Council for Women, president for the American Legion Auxiliary, and vice president for the Conference of Charities and Corrections of Virginia. Her lifelong investment in social work has impacted countless families. Thanks to Kate Waller-Barrett Principal Rachel Novak and art instructor Sarah Hudson for their logistic support and collaboration throughout the project. Also, thanks to Susan Henderson of the Stafford Museum and Cultural center for doing some archival hunting to locate Kate Waller-Barrett’s signature for me to incorporate in the mural artwork. Most importantly, thanks to all the students and faculty of Kate Waller-Barrett. I spent a total of 70 hours painting in the cafeteria and can attest to the students’ curiosity, exuberance, and fascination with the mural-making process. This project became more than paint on a wall, and turned into an interactive and immersive experience for the students - prompting them to ask questions and igniting their interest in our region’s history.
This project is a partnership between the Stafford Museum Cultural Center, Stafford Public County Schools, and the Stafford Education Foundation.
"City Flavors" Commemorative Painting and Prints for Hyperion Espresso
Gabriel Pons had the pleasure of creating a custom piece of artwork for Hyperion Espresso to celebrate their 30th anniversary. The 31”x30” mixed media piece, titled “City Flavors”, is executed in Pons’s signature style, incorporating paper collage and handwritten text inspired by Fredericksburg’s collective experiences at Hyperion through the years.
Pons used pages from Hyperion’s menu and employee handbook as well as pages from books like Don Quijote , Catcher in the Rye, and even an old Encyclopedia Britannica. He also mixed in copies of Hyperion’s guest book from their 25th anniversary which included handwritten memories and well-wishes.
What’s the handwriting? Read from the top down:
“Sit with me again face to face and smile the many years, You will always be at the heart of me, pulsed in the present and pasts a place for all.
Gave us the space and place for a communal cup to stir on this city.
To reed and seed to stem and branch to leaf and bean and soil.
Because you became a landmark memory.
And nourish me to the soul and senses. Fire and Water , steamed and sweet love is at the corner of friendship and folly and fun! Fredericksburg for family and friends for our past and present tenses.”
Limited Edition Prints of “City Flavors” are available at Hyperion Espresso. Each print is signed and numbered by the artist. ($25)
Latitudes Fair Trade X PONSHOP Tee Shirt Collaboration
PONSHOP co-owner, Gabriel Pons was commissioned by Latitudes Fair Trade to produce a "Fred-Centric" tee shirt for Summer/Fall 2024. Drawing on his meticulous surveys of the city's architecture and a painter's eye for stacking shapes and colors, Pons aspired to create a tee that celebrates the spirit of the city. Tees are professionally screen printed on GoEx Apparel so you can look good and feel good about buying fair trade. Now available at Latitudes Fair Trade Fredericksburg ($28).
"Habitat" Mural at James Monroe High School
PONSHOP owner Gabriel Pons and Team Sophiola have completed a mural in the courtyard of James Monroe High School during the summer of 2024. This is the fourth public mural that Ms. Pineda and Pons have accomplished together since 2021. Titled “Habitat”, this 980 Square-Foot mural is a collaboration between Fredericksburg City Schools, Sophiola, PONSHOP, and community volunteers. The inspiration for the artwork came primarily from the school’s unique geographic location, situated between the city’s canal path and the Rappahannock River - highlighting the wildlife, flora and fauna of the area.
The mural project initiated in the Spring of 2023 when Pons and Sophia Pineda worked together in his studio, creating sketches and studies of the different components: the blue heron, local fish, and the river otter. On-site painting kicked off later that summer (July) and the team started priming the walls and transferring the line work.
This project was made possible through the initiatives of James Monroe High School teachers, Casey Willging and David Lovegrove, the Pineda Family (Sophiola) and Team Bayne/Pineda-Cary Street Partners. Special thanks to the all student volunteers that contributed to painting the mural throughout the year. Thanks to all the faculty and staff of Fredericksburg City Schools that helped facilitate the mural initiative. Thanks to Sherwin Williams paint for supporting this project with paint supplies.
Team Sophiola: Carol and Andre Pineda, Sophia Pineda, Vicky Barrera
PONSHOP Assistants: Dante Jenkins, Gillian Hoback, Megan Shaughnessy, Cairo Pons

"Welcome to Fredericksburg" Tower Project
Photo Credits: Hyperbole and Print Jazz
The Fredericksburg Grain Tower (also known as the “Purina” Tower) received a facelift in June with a new color palette as well as the message: “Welcome to Fredericksburg”. This project was the result of an initiative facilitated by the Fredericksburg Economic Development (EDA) and the Fredericksburg Department of Economic Development and Tourism, with funds from the American Rescue Plan Act.
Pete Morelewicz of Print Jazz created the graphic design variations for the mural renovation, incorporating the “Welcome” messaging. Saul Garcia of Rainbow Painting was contracted to repair and repaint the checkerboard patterning with the revised colorway. Pete and Gabriel Pons of PONSHOP executed the lettering mural on all four sides of the tower.
This collaboration was an exceptional example of the confluence and collaboration between the municipality, the building owner, Green Family Fitness , and local artists and contractors.

"Generations" Mural at Conway Elementary
Conway Elementary received a grant from the Stafford Museum and Cultural Center to create a mural that highlights the region’s history. The museum’s mural initiative focuses on representing Stafford County’s rich history in the form of mural artwork in Stafford County Schools. PONSHOP co-owner, Gabriel Pons, collaborated with Conway Elementary teacher, Alicia Rodriguez in conceptualizing mural art that spoke to the legacy of the Patawomeck Tribe in the county and the impact of their agricultural practices on our present-day community.
The mural is titled “Generations”, alluding to the constancy of growth and change through the seasons and the passing of knowledge from generation to generation. Located at the entrance to the school’s courtyard garden, the mural acts as a portal to the outside as well as a passage in time, reflecting on the migratory practices of the Patawomeck tribe, their intimate understanding of the landscape as well as highlighting their “Three Sisters” method - strategically planting corn, beans, and squash together - capitalizing on their symbiotic relationship of growth.
Preliminary Concept Sketch
This has been a project over a year in the making, with early conversations with Mrs. Rodriguez regarding the placement and theme of the mural (she also assisted on executing the painting). We’d like to extend our gratitude to Principal Raybold for facilitating this project and all the faculty and staff at Conway Elementary for their support. Thanks to Dr. Brad Hatch, Tribal Council Member of the Patawomeck Museum and Cultural Center for his consultation at the project’s onset. Special thanks to the students of Conway Elementary for their sustained encouragement throughout the painting process and sharing their “One Family” enthusiasm. Thanks to Stafford County student, Kaia Jensen for her mural assistance. This project is a partnership between the Stafford Museum Cultural Center, Stafford Public County Schools, and the Stafford Education Foundation.
Ellen Schaefer and Scarlett Pons Exhibition at PONSHOP
Opening Reception: First Friday, May 3 (5-9pm)
Exhibition Dates: May 3 - June 30, 2024
PONSHOP is excited to announce a double-feature art exhibit that celebrates the region’s natural beauty with ceramics by Scarlett Pons and paintings by Ellen Schaefer. The exhibit will showcase Ellen’s recent acrylic paintings and new ceramic wall hanging pieces by Scarlett.
Ellen Schaefer is a Fredericksburg-based artist who works in a variety of mediums including watercolor and acrylic. Her artwork is inspired by nature and the delicate details of daily life. This new series of paintings by Ellen Schaefer is inspired by views along the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers in Virginia. The sparkling waters of Westmoreland State Park and calm of the Fredericksburg Canal Path are transmuted into paint via bright airy colors and expressive brush strokes. A celebration of local landscapes, these paintings are meant to buoy the viewer with a sense of joy and ease. Each acrylic painting is crafted on 1.5" deep canvas, sealed with satin varnish, and framed in a solid wood float frame. Learn more about her work at ellenschaeferart.com
Scarlett Pons’s ceramic wall-hanging art is inspired by the native plants that thrive throughout Virginia. “There's a magical quality to stumbling upon wildflowers during a walk or hike, she says, “They compel us to pause, captivated by their beauty and mystery. Through my work, I seek to elevate the unique shapes and rich diversity of these beautiful plants, while also emphasizing their role in shaping a distinct sense of place and community.” By celebrating Virginia's native flora, Pons hopes to foster a deeper connection to our natural surroundings and encourage appreciation for the intricate ecosystems that sustain us. Scarlett’s ceramic collection can be viewed at scarlettwares.com

Mural at Hartwood Elementary: "Hartwood Passages"
Gabriel Pons was commissioned by Hartwood Elementary to paint a mural as part of the partnership between the Stafford Museum and Cultural Center , Stafford County Public Schools and the Stafford Education Foundation. The goal of the mural initiative is to highlight the unique history and culture of Stafford County in creative and innovative ways.
Titled Hartwood Passages, the mural artwork is a bird’s eye view encompassing South Stafford County, Falmouth and Fredericksburg. Pons’s intention was to depict the region as an abstracted visual text, highlighting historic architectural landmarks in Hartwood as well as encouraging the viewer to explore and ask questions about other key geographic elements. Roads are interpreted both literally and metaphorically. The intersection of Interstate 95 and Route 17 creates an “X” through the center of the mural and other major throughways including route 1 and the railways, depicted as vertical stripes cutting through the landscape. The Rappahannock River, so critical to the region’s history and development, is rendered as a bold sinuous ribbon stretching from end to end, alluding to its prominence in the region. The artwork rounds out to a smooth curve at the base, referring to the global community that students participate in. The composition aims to ordinate the viewer, encouraging them to inquire about the cardinal directions, the landscape’s topography, and their own location relative to Hartwood Elementary.
Concept Sketch - Hartwood Elementary Mural
This mural was a real personal challenge for me. We’ve been living in Hartwood now since moving here from New York in 2005 and it has been home for both our sons. It becomes a “tug of war” when there are so many ideas and concepts to incorporate in an artwork. In fact, one theme I felt compelled to embed in the design is this sense of optimism and unbridled curiosity that a child feels at Hartwood Elementary. Despite the school’s location in a relatively rural setting, we are adjacent to one of the major highway systems on the eastern seaboard. It’s important to impress upon students the idea that the paths they are taking now as elementary students will soon take them well beyond the horizon.
While working on site, I became nostalgic for our school days at Hartwood Elementary. Looking back, the faculty acclimated us to being responsible parents as much as they instilled leadership values in our children. In some ways I feel that this project has brought me full circle back to those years when my boys attended Hartwood Elementary and I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the school’s future.
