NICKI D. MARX is a self-taught artist who has had over forty one-person and museum exhibitions. Her work is in many important museum, private and public collections and she is honored in Who's Who in the West, Who's Who in America, Who's Who in American Art, Who's Who of American Women and the World Who's Who of Women, as well as being included in many books and publications.
"My work is a personal celebration of life and an exploration of natural materials. The process of working is for me a ritual, a dance, a prayer of thanksgiving and a plea for survival. I believe that our culture is sorely lacking in meaningful ritual and celebration and is lacking a deep, respectful awareness of nature. My work has always dealt with paradox through the merging of dark and light to create unity and through dealing with death, life's counterpart. The work is connected to ancient traditions yet is related to modem forms and ideas. I am acutely aware of the materials with which I work: of how they invoke the peaceful, the intimate and the delicate, yet also the violent, grand and awesome beauty found in nature. These materials allow me to celebrate the earth's mystery, vitality and power."

Known for her dramatic use of color and composition, Katherine’s work is diverse, ranging from architectural compositions to pet portraits, still life, landscape, floral, and portraits. “I simply can’t restrict myself to one subject matter, one color palette or one medium. When a fall landscape whispers to me “pastel” that is what I reach for. At the same time, my love for watercolor pours from me on a moment’s notice when I see a sunset or sunrise that paints the sky with color. Scratchbord ™ is what I reach for when I’m yearning for detail and realism.”

Margaret's primary medium is pastel, which she uses in a unique and powerful manner. Her pastel pigments fully saturate the entire surface, and are worked and blended in with an almost sculptural quality. Her palette ranges from the richest and most luminous of hues to the most subtle and delicate of shades. Her work invokes a sense of beauty, mystery and wonder that is very much her own.

There is a hidden magic out here in the high desert. In many ways it feels off the map. I love the people, the way of life, and the magnificent landscapes. Now a whole new world awaits discovery.

My name is Susanne Pinkham and Half Moon Studio is my workplace in Taos, NM. Since the early 1970’s glass has been my primary art material. My work has evolved over the years from constructing stained glass windows, lamps, and hangings to work that is mostly created in a kiln. In the terminology of glass I have gone from cold techniques (cutting sheet glass and joining it with metals) to warm processes (still cutting sheet glass, but involving a kiln to melt layers of glass together,) with occasional forays into hot work (making beads with a torch.) I work with glass because I am endlessly fascinated with the relationship of light and color which occur with glass.

"Nature has always fascinated me and it is by far the most interesting subject for me to paint. My work is an interpretation of the way that I see the world. Growing up in New Mexico has greatly influenced my use of intense color. The New Mexico landscape and the Hispanic as well as the Native American cultures that are found here are incredibly vivid and bright with color. I would describe myself as an interpretive painter as well as a colorist. I enjoy using lavish color when I paint and I am fascinated with the northern New Mexico light.”

“I have always been mesmerized with flowers and how they look in different settings. Sometimes I see them in dazzling sunlight dancing in the wind, and sometimes I see them in a misty garden in the early morning or in the evening twilight hours. I like to capture feelings and moods when I paint. My work is somewhere in between reality and fantasy. I like for the viewer to be able to see beyond photographic reality. I think of my work as a fairy tale.”
