Master Sculptors In The Garden

Guests can enjoy complimentary wine or beer while watching stone sculptor Jess Davila demonstrate in the venue’s expanded sculpture garden, which features dozens of diverse sculptures by acclaimed sculptors, and includes a Koi pond with waterfall set in the natural desert.

Raised in the breathtaking desert and mountain regions of Sonora, Mexico, Jess Davila developed a deep respect for the natural world at an early age. That connection is evident in every sculpture he creates. Completely self-taught, Davila allows the stone itself—its shape, color, and texture—to guide his hand, revealing powerful contemporary animals and figures that feel both timeless and alive. His work in marble, alabaster, sandstone, and limestone carries a quiet strength and an emotional resonance that captivates viewers.

Beyond his extraordinary skill, Jess is known for his kindness, generosity, and commitment to community. He is the founder of the Centro Artístico y Cultural de Huachinera in Sonora, Mexico—a thriving arts and cultural center dedicated to inspiring creativity, education, and opportunity for people of all ages. Through this center, Jess is not only nurturing artistic talent but also helping to revitalize the region through cultural tourism and job creation.

Watching Jess sculpt is more than a demonstration—it’s an invitation into his world, where beauty is uncovered, not imposed, and where art becomes a bridge between nature, community, and the human spirit.
