Description

Philanthropist Dennis Avery had a dream.  He wanted to construct life-size sculptures depicting life in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park millions of years ago.  The sculptures were built in 2008-2o12 by metal artist Ricardo Breceda on Mr. Avery’s private land “Galeta Meadows”.  The sculptures now draw thousands of visitors to the area.  They are a blend of stunning craftsmanship and placement in an open desert landscape.  The Quick Guide to Sky Art Metal Sculptures in Borrego Valley is the perfect companion to viewing the sculptures.
