No matter where you drive or walk at Austin Ranch, you’re never far from the presence of captivating sculpture. We believe that the inclusion of fine art in one’s home or work environment provides a sense of rejuvenation, warmth, and stimulation of the senses. We invite you take a glimpse of some of our most delightful pieces of art at Austin Ranch.
Steel Horses (Peter Busby 2000)
Artist Peter Busby captured the essence of wildlife creatures with delicately drawn lines of woven and welded steel rod. From 12,000 feet of inanimate steel rods, he created three massive horse sculptures that reflect both the spirit and the magnitude of Austin Ranch.
Steel Horses unquestionably rules the majestic landscape at the intersection of Windhaven Parkway and Plano Parkway.
To Austin Ranch owner Lucy Billingsley, Busby’s Steel Horses, installed in October of 2000, represent freedom, power and life.
Works by Madeleine Lord (2003)
Austin Ranch is privileged to have a number of sculptures by artist Madeleine Lord. The Shadow Mews project at Austin Ranch, so named because of the connection between silhouettes and shadows, was introduced to Lucy Billingsley in 2002.
