Form and Function.

Art is a family affair with the Hawthorne’s. Located along the scenic PCH in Big Sur, CA, Hawthorne Gallery is an eclectic display of just about every object from skilled artisans as one can imagine. Each Hawthorne is unique in their expression of painting, sculptures, furnishings, and jewelry. If the patron desires, Hawthorne art can be functional as well. They offer working fountains and furnishings that are just as pretty as they are practical for use. The outdoor sculptures seem to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The paintings are truly hypnotic and demand attention, whether critical or not. Truly a great way to keep your guests occupied if dinner’s not quite ready. The vases are beautiful and accent any room but I personally wouldn’t use these for flowers as I would make use of the slumped glass trays such as, putting my keys in them after arriving home. All the Hawthorne’s art is created using just about every natural and manmade material available and offered in a variety of prices making all of it affordable to a variety of patrons. My visitation was facilitated by a very helpful, un-obtrusive, and friendly hostess who really wanted me to enjoy my stay knowing full well that I wasn’t quite in the market for any purchases at this time. She even let me know of the “Café Kevah” across the Hwy, if I desired a meal break then, a longer stay. I was ready to leave after taking all the pictures I wanted. This hostess insisted I didn’t leave without the appropriate brochure and business card. Other businesses take note. This is the kind of people you hire to represent your company. A person who has passion for their work and the people they meet. Sadly, in my life, I must admit to having far less than she does.

Lastly the building itself is art. Designed by Architect Mickey Muennig, he is a Bug Sur resident who has an impressive portfolio. One suggestion to Mr. Muennig, “Hire a better Web designer that reflects your talents as an Architect. The site does a great injustice to your brilliance.”
