Beautiful building full of beautiful art! On display are various works by several members of the very talented Hawthorne Family: paintings, sculptures, metalwork, jewelry! Well worth a drive to this beautiful place.
Having opened in 1995, the Hawthorne Gallery is a comparatively new landmark on the Big Sur coastline. Designed by legendary architect Mickey Meunnig it is a fitting home for the works of nearly twenty known artists including those of the multi-talented Hawthorne family. See everything from Albert Paley’s prominent forged steel design, to Gregory Hawthorne's contemporary paintings, to the woodcarvings of renowned local artist Barbara Spring, all set against the ultimate backdrop of the Pacific coastline.
