I paint to see what happens– within myself and on the canvas; trusting my experience and being endlessly surprised. Everything is a creative process, an investigation, and in some sense, a healing art. What inspires me is the creative process itself, following my intuition and abandoning expectations. I like to experiment with various styles and mediums but my passion is in abstract expression. I hold BFA in painting and have exhibited my work primarily in Washington, Oregon, California and New Mexico. Currently I am living in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I am also a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, happily practicing Acupuncture to help others be in harmony with themselves and their environment. I hope that my passion for creativity and exploration can be felt in my artwork. New Mexico artists are amazing! Discover New Mexico’s Art Treasures & support the people who create them.

Color, light, texture, and form: four elements in nature that have captivated me for years! Whether I am looking at the grandeur of the landscape, a gemstone, or ink as it is spread across a printing plate, I continually look for ways to incorporate my fascination with these phenomena in my artistic creations. Although I will pursue a single theme in a variety of mediums and styles, these threads are present, regardless of the materials I choose. My whole life has been enriched by my passion to create, as evidenced by my experimentation in a plethora of mediums that exist in the art world today. Each gives me a different voice and expression: the thread which binds them all is my love for texture, light, and this beautiful planet we are on! New Mexico artists are amazing!

His art is a visual, concrete, and elemental language. He does not try to contain or narrow its translation, choosing rather to broaden its meaning and impact to the greatest possible audience. Tom engages the viewer’s mind to think about their closely held values and beliefs … to challenge their aesthetic understanding and question their meaning. His art is not restricted to any one medium, and typically represents a deep probing, and often metaphorical investigation. C A R O L E B O W K E R Carole’s work in sterling silver, semi-precious, and natural stones link her interest to the land of this area. Her two-dimensional pieces in other media express a keen fondness of the Southwest. Her images are abstracted to basic forms that emerge in unique one-of-a-kind jewelry representations. They embrace the beauty in form and design that echoes direct observation of the natural wonders found in earthforms of Northern New Mexico, and other pristine places where she has lived and traveled. With a background in painting, design and the natural sciences her approach to art is to portray, in a variety of media, the essence, nuance, and structure of nature in the least complex way.

Come visit us and be surprised by the ever-changing and stimulating work on show. Nick and Lise Lise has been working with fibre in its various guises for nearly 30 years. She continues to experiment with new directions in felt work, being inspired by innovators in Europe and the US. Lise's latest work is a series of new fiber art combined with silver and gold plated jewelry. Nick was first attracted to print making while hanging out at the Zeller 9 Gallery on the Fulham Road in Chelsea. After sessions at Winchester Art College studying etching, he was truly hooked. In the US at the Pacific Arts League of Palo Alto, Nick studied with Adele Seltzer (who had worked with Nathaniel Oliviera), and switched allegiance from etching to monotype printmaking. In Taos, Nick met Michael Vigil, an inspiring and generous artist and printmaker, and Nick continues to print at Michael's studio, Graphic Impressions. Recently, Nick has returned to etching and serigraphs, with thought-provoking work ranging from contemporary takes on Japanese samurai themes, to homages to icons of art and music.

Louise Sackett, Plein Air Painter VISIT ARTISTS WEBSITE View Louise's Blog "Plein Speaking" Represented by: Taos Blue in Taos, New Mexico River’s Edge Gallery in Kerrville, Texas . Trained as a figurative painter/printmaker, Louise Sackett approaches all her work from a painter’s point of view. Light and composition take center stage. Her preferred style is impressionist realism, with the punctuation of personal statements with the brush, pencil or stick. In this day of instant photos and digital art, Louise finds the mark of the artist to be more important than ever. Therefore, each of her creations celebrates rather than hides obvious brush and pencil strokes. The immediacy of the visible artist’s touch is as important to her as is the style.

Starcevic, Contemporary Visual Artist VISIT IVANA'S WEBSITE FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM Gallery Representation: Ghostwolf Gallery - @ghostwolf_gallery Weems Gallery - @weemsgallery Earthen Vessel Gallery - @earthenvesselgallery Ivana Starcevic is a contemporary expressionistic painter currently residing and working in Corrales, New Mexico. She has long sought to capture “the spirit of place” in her artwork, finding inspiration from not only her current surroundings but also from the fragmented memories of her youth in Europe. From the age of four, Starcevic knew she wanted to be an artist. She earned a BFA in Ceramics and Studio Art and an MFA in Mixed Media from the Academy of Applied Arts University in Belgrade and completed postgraduate work in printmaking at the University of New Mexico. Her paintings are rich in color, verve, and motion, whether interpreting raw landscapes, radiant light, or the brilliant colors of the New Mexico sky. Her current work, inspired by southwestern hues and views, is usually painted from memory, guided by intuition, and fueled by imagination. Ivana's work, described by one critic as “unshakably cosmopolitan, irreversibly modern, and strikingly innovative,” has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and her pieces are held in both public and private collections including the City of Albuquerque “Art in Public Spaces”. She also has permanent collections of her paintings at the high-tech Senspex building and a collection of large paintings at the NM Cancer Center. In 2022, Starcevic has been honored to be named a Local Treasure by the Albuquerque Arts Business Association. New Mexico artists are amazing!

Rene Sepulveda Sculptured Abstract Works Resident Artist, 2nd Life Gallery, Roadrunner Emporium, Alamogordo, New Mexico Artist Rene Sepulveda’s carefully constructed sculptures and art installations are abstract interpretative works that rely heavily on the influence of nature for texture and symmetry, for rural to urban spaces. "I believe that the artistry of Cholla Art, Tree Trunk Art, Root Art or Lava Rock and Metal works are unique and not well understood, in that most homeowners or business owners don’t have the knowledge of the beauty these pieces can bring to their environment. Most people have not been exposed to these kinds of sculptured works, very few artists create art with these mediums as a canvas. Most people don’t know the sense of Zen or harmony that is created by including these pieces into the home, office, or business environment." Rene Sepulveda former NCAA Award winning Track and Field Coach, California/New Mexico regionally renown Rehabilitative Coach turned artist who creates sculptured abstract works. One art critic recently said of his works that they are “incisive meditations of colorishis designs, shapes and composition complimenting natures wonders using lava rocks, tree roots, tree trunks, bark, cholla desert cactus as components of his canvas.” New Mexico artists are amazing!

Carrie is creative, she is adventurous, she can produce amazing real life animals but turn around and think outside of the box. Her mind is always working on new ideas and different ways to use her artistic talents.

Barbara McCulloch Oil Paintings VISIT BARBARA'S WEBSITE Facebook Group- "The Unstoppable Artist” Facebook page Instagram EMAIL JOIN “The Unstoppable Artist” Facebook group Artist Statement: I am currently enjoying the freedom of exploration in materials and techniques. I have created a workbook, “The Unstoppable Artist” which has a wide range of traditional and creative art projects and examples, so I am expanding a cohesive library of examples for future use through workshops. Making time for creative exploration is a passion that I transmit to emerging artists. The inspiration that I receive from life whether fauna or flora is the awareness that all life is intrinsically connected. This feeling of awe runs through me and into my painting, regardless of materials or technique and is usually expressed as interpretive and modulated color applied with a lyrical brush in appreciation for the beauty of nature.

My custom jewelry designs are created JUST FOR YOU no two pieces are alike." "I’m originally from the east coast and I grew up visiting craft centers in the Virginia and West Virginia mountains. I was entranced with the jewelry and art I saw. I always loved working with my hands and I really enjoy the process of designing and creating jewelry. I moved to New Mexico because this part of the country is the most deeply inspiring place I’ve ever been. I love the colors in the landscape and the every changing clouds in the sky. I want my jewelry to communicate my excitement and enthusiasm for New Mexico." "I work primarily in silver - sometimes in copper. I make the components of my pieces by hand to create the overall design. Texture is a fundamental part of many of my designs and I incorporate patterns and shapes from nature in many of my pieces. My formal education is in chemistry. I didn’t become really involved in making jewelry until I was out of college and working. I started with some silver smithing classes and since then I’ve pursued a continuing course of jewelry related classes." New Mexico artists are amazing!

There is always a space that contains a story; there is always a path that leads us on into our own story. The solitude and peace that we all seek is in the magic of Ann’s work. Painting is my form of meditation: it is going to a place of calm and quiet strength. My inspiration comes from the Northern New Mexico landscape, the high-altitude light, and the mysteries surrounding the old places. Inspirations’ come from emotions and dreams.
