Unique property reflecting the artists’ vision
Dean Homestead and Art Studios Tour and The Dean Gallery的点评
点评:Our guided tour company brought us here as a surprise activity and it was a very interesting experience. Artist Jeff Dean showed us his workshop and talked about various techniques that he uses to create metal art. His wife, artist Ranja Dean, showed us around the rest of the property and talked about how they designed and built the various buildings and farm enclosures over time and about their lifestyle. We met their farm animals – chickens, donkeys, goats, and a yak/cow mix that they called a yow. They had a lot of beautiful flowers and a wonderful greenhouse for growing vegetables and more. From their yard they could see snow-capped mountains in the distance. They had a rustic outhouse that visitors could use. The tour ended in their art gallery which featured many works by both Deans and their daughter M'fanwy Dean. I bought several postcards with prints of an Alaskan scene created by the daughter for souvenirs to give my friends back home. We spent two hours here.
翻译:我们的导游公司带我们来这里,作为一次惊喜活动,这真是一次非常有趣的体验。艺术家杰夫·迪恩带我们参观了他的工作室,并讲解了他创作金属艺术的各种技巧。他的妻子,艺术家兰贾·迪恩,带我们参观了农场的其他部分,讲述了他们如何设计和建造各种建筑和农场围栏,以及他们的生活方式。我们见到了他们的农场动物——鸡、驴、山羊,还有一种他们称之为“yow”的牦牛和牛的混血儿。他们种了很多美丽的鲜花,还有一个很棒的温室,可以用来种植蔬菜等等。从他们的院子里可以看到远处白雪皑皑的山脉。他们还有一个简朴的户外厕所供游客使用。旅程的最后,他们在他们的艺术画廊结束了这次旅程,画廊里展出了迪恩和他们女儿麦克凡薇·迪恩的许多作品。我买了几张印着女儿创作的阿拉斯加风景的明信片,准备送给家乡的朋友们。我们在这里待了两个小时。
