The Graham Residence is a mid-century modern retreat nestled among the boulders of Yucca Valley, set on 20 secluded acres near Joshua Tree National Park.
This contemplative environment encourages reflection, creativity, and a deep connection with the surrounding desert landscape.
Herron House offers a solo retreat at The Graham Residence. Artists are invited to step away from routine, connect with the land, and deepen their practice in dialogue with the rhythms of the high desert. This experience is both intimate and expansive—an opportunity to explore new directions in solitude and stillness.
“I came out to California after a period when life was coming at me acutely fast. London’s unrelenting grey winter held a firm grip and I was feeling like I needed a change of scene.
The desert pulled me into a new universe, profoundly beautiful and otherworldly, smacking my senses with its vivid light. It formed a lens through which I could see the world anew. This body of paintings is born from pause, a time of working largely in solitude in a remote landscape. Art making feels to me a therapeutic tool, an act of deep sitting with yourself to find what is honest. So in the desert, I sat.”
