ART-SCULPTURE: The Horse at Heller House, UCCS






On a recent trip to beautiful Colorado Springs, Colorado, we visited a wonderful little house nestled in the woods behind the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs.

The Heller House is a lovely adobe building with a history of fostering the arts and humanities 
in the Colorado Springs region.



Although there were many items of interest, we were fascinated with the horse sculpture. It is a a must-see if you are in the Colorado Springs area. 

These photos don't to it justice. And I tried! It captures the spirit of the West.




The grounds are dotted with landscape sculptures, bird houses, and native plants like this gorgeous Indian Paintbrush.

I've added some pages from the Heller Center Master Plan for expansion and restoration, as well as the link to the university for those who want further
information and a map to get there.

It was a lovely afternoon well-spent in the beautiful Colorado sunshine.
