Shopping in Carmel

Highlands Sculpture Gallery - When Highlands Sculpture Gallery moved into the Carmel area, it was a breath of fresh air, the first of its kind in a sea of traditional art. Thirty years later, it has become an international destination for contemporary fine art in Carmel. Owner/director Diana Higgins has always loved sculpture and with her hands-on background and degree in fine arts has crafted this gallery into a harmonious yet exciting marriage of two and three-dimensional colors and forms. Somehow the pieces belong together in their environment and it is difficult to pick just one. You are, encouraged to 'touch' the sculptures when visiting this intimate, warm and inviting art gallery.

Jim Miller Gallery - Throughout his successful career as a commercial artist that has included four awards from The New York Society of Illustrators, oil painter Jim Miller says he always knew he would "someday be a fine artist ...
