Once there was a house, then a fire, now a place for ART...
The HVR Art Ranch was conceived from an idea while working at the Escondido Arts Partnership. The Idea was shelved for awhile, keeping my focus on the job at hand. Then the wildfires of 2007 in San Diego happened. My house was a victim. Rebuilding our home became the focus. But somewhere in the background was that idea of the Art Ranch. A place for creating and making art, showcasing artists and art itself.
Four years later... the house is built. The design is an open loft-like space in the country. The walls were planned as per gallery specs, expansive to accommodate large paintings or multiple collections of small ones. The outdoor spaces will someday be a showcase of large scale sculptures in all mediums.
The future plans for studios are in the works. Our ultimate dream would be to create a retreat for a community of artists.
The Highland Valley Road (HVR) Art Ranch is our newborn child. It will take a community to raise this child. Let me know if you are interested in being part of the community.
Here's a selection of images of the ranch.

The New Parlor Room
Ten years ago, the owners of the Grand Colonial Hotel purchased a painting to hang in the meeting room. They recently went through a $500,000 renovation and I was happy to see that they kept the painting. It is now hanging in the Parlor Room.
Their restaurant (Nine-Ten) also have three of my paintings. Go have lunch or dinner and visit my paintings.

ARTFUL INCHES
It was great to participate at the recent fundraising event at the Escondido Arts Partnership Gallery. The proceeds will go towards the HIgh School Exhibition at the gallery. Buy pieces of the art by the inch, 5 x 7 section is only $35. It's a fun way to collect art and support a good cause.
It's not too late...you have until March 6, 2012 to check it out at the Escondido Municipal Gallery, go to www.escondidoarts.org for address and hours.
