The artist, Katie Giganti, who was hired through the organization Artists Circle Fine Art, grew up in Gaithersburg, MD, and frequented Quince Orchard Plaza during her youth to purchase art supplies.

The mural features blossoming quince flowers, a map of the surrounding area and represents the future potential for growth in this community-centric destination.
