Studio Tour Participant

As a contemporary artist and painter, I feel very blessed to be living in the beautiful land of Taos, New Mexico. An avid hiker and outdoor enthusiast, the ambience of this area stimulates my creativity.  Some days I find it hard to believe that I grew up in New Jersey, 15 minutes outside of New […]

I like the small mundane things in life. Common objects that become extraordinary. Tools, toys, fast food, household utensils, souvenirs. A souvenir is a memento of a time and place, so surely, all things we chose to surround ourselves with are souvenirs. I like the irreverence of putting them on pedestals, thus making them icons.

Bruce Katlin Combines his love and passion for intense activity and various art mediums to make a living and live a life fulfilled. The great outdoors is his ‘church’ and the flora and fauna is the choir. Bruce paints while trail running and hiking (often at the same time) in the wide and beautiful canvas of New Mexico.

I am a fine artist who works in several mediums but predominately in pastel and silk painting. In my pastel paintings I primarily explore the themes coming from my soul, and imagination dovetailed with ethnic myths, my dreams, my travels and life experience.  Through these processes I consider myself a visionary artist.  My pastel painting

Through photography, I show you what I see, but with painting, I share with you what I feel. This story begins with photography: I began taking home photos at the age of 10, always had a camera with me on any travels, and haven’t been able to keep one out of my hands since the

Almost all my fine art work is an exploration of the tension between timelessness and impermanence, fragility and resilience, and the physical body and the spiritual self–I find this tension extremely poignant and I like to explore these themes by developing different bodies of work using a variety of media. Language, text, and poetry are

I am an artist drawn to all things Nature: plants, animals, landscapes and New Mexico weather.  This is especially evident in my mosaics and photography!  What I truly enjoy is crafting, by hand, birds, flowers and plants using clay and colorful glazes.  My fortunate location in a wildlife corridor allows me to capture bobcats at

“Seduced by color, I juxtapose one hue against another, layer after layer, until suddenly the piece sings.” My inspiration comes from the natural beauty that surrounds me in northern New Mexico. The patterns and nuanced gradations of color that are found in nature inform my work. The yellows and oranges of lichens high up in

Inger Jirby’s life has been as rich, dramatic and exotic as her art.  She was born in the far north of Sweden, above the Arctic Circle in Lapland, a place of blazing color in the fall. Her earliest memories are bathed in bright palette, the same colors that characterize her passion-filled fauvist paintings. She began

My art springs from my love of the natural world, looking with wonder at its rhythms and flow, shapes responding to one another, colors blaring one moment and singing softly the next.I give my love and attention and nature answers back.

I am a lifelong student of art, changing my expression as I change personally and as I change location.  Raised in the free museums and galleries of Los Angeles, I studied as young teen at Otis Art Institute.   As a young child, my favorite artists were Bonnard and Vuilliard and are still beloved.  Today my artistic goals

I have been taking photographs since 1967. With my camera, I circumnavigated the world, lived in Ethiopia where I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Since moving to New Mexico from New York in 1988, I have dedicated myself to capturing New Mexico’s spirit and unmatched beauty. With a passion for telling the story of

I am a fine artist who explores themes of mortality through figure painting. My figures, painted in oil on canvas and wood, are an extension of my Mexican heritage and Central America’s Day of the Dead festivities; they appear skeletal and pale, yet somehow flushed and vibrant. Through bravado brushwork and assertive color palettes, I
