Ricardo Breceda’s sculptures in Borrego Springs are world famous, but many are unaware he created them without any formal training. Breceda was a cowboy boot salesman when he made his first piece 23 years ago – a dinosaur for his daughter, who saw Jurassic Park and asked him to make her a life-sized sculpture. Breceda placed his 20-foot-tall creation next to a freeway and almost caused an accident. “The freeway stopped, bumper to bumper both ways,” Breceda said. “People literally got out of the car to take pictures of my big dinosaur.” Seeing the joy his creation brought to so many people sparked a passion to build more.
