Nuts Now

Naomi Haverland’s mural on Nuts Now is a colorful explosion of imagination — featuring a young astronaut surrounded by swirling candy and vibrant sweets. The scene captures that feeling of limitless wonder found in childhood, where curiosity and play know no bounds. The astronaut symbolizes exploration and dreaming big, while the candy reflects joy, creativity, and the simple delights that make life sweet.

Playful yet technically brilliant, Haverland’s work transforms the side of Nuts Now into a joyful landmark for Allen Park — a reminder to stay curious, dream boldly, and never lose your sense of wonder.
