Sketches from VIZCAYA Gardens Miami, Florida

A Spanish-Italian Renaissance villa in the heart of Miami .... Villa Vizcaya was designed and built by architect  F. Burrall Hoffman for its owner, James Deering, Vice-President of the International Harvester Company.  The estate's Venice-like garden along old Biscayne Bay is graced with sculpture promenades, fountains, and grottoes.   Some of the images on this page were drawn and painted on-site in this deeply Romantic setting, surrounded by a harmonious combination of Florida hammock, mangroves, and of course the sea.
