Robin Wallace has so many memories of her parents teaching art and music classes inside their hilltop home for decades.
'It was art and music always,' Wallace said. It was a haven with views of Camarillo that included a darkroom, sound booth, printing studio, drawing studio and small farm. 'The students would go from the ceramic studio down here to sketch the chickens,' she said. They called the scenic sanctuary the Hummingbird Music Conservatory since it often filled with the sweet sounds of students singing.
Wallace said what was once an oasis turned into a hellscape.Her brother Brian, a music producer named DubRobot, record the chaotic moments as they packed to leave their home. 'We realize we were in danger, at like 9:45 a.m. and then we were all gone by 10:15 a.m.,' Wallace said. Wallace's brother left a lot behind, including what he called his 'art car,' which was a performance art piece. Luckily, the fire spared two of the fish from their koi pond.
