Art Ranch - The Beginning
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.

It has been jammed packed two years.... As I previously mentioned we had two construction projects going at the same time.
Our little house has been completely remodeled and we moved in last November. I had some apprehension on how we were going to fit four people in an 800 square foot house but I have to say that that it's been working out. We haven't killed each other yet. My daughter actually has had friends over and her tiny bedroom doesn't seem to matter. In fact it's a joy to hear all the giggling coming from that room. Oh to be eleven again.
I'm still working on our main house, sometime along the way we let go of out general contractor and I took over. I would rather not discuss reasons.
Anyway, we moved into our house this past summer....we have been working the pool, outdoor space and interior finishes.
