Art is Alive and Well in Taos!

Taos is an incredible place to be for many reasons, but art is alive and well in all its forms.

My friend Abby Salsbury was one of the "Contemporaries" featured tonight at the Stables Gallery. Her work has expanded beyond her beautiful dishes, shown here. In the photo of "the Contemporaries" below, Abby in on the far right. Visit her website to see all of her work at

My artist client and friend, Vicki Rose, just received her first postcard....she gave me a stack that I hand out when I'm out... don't they look great??? And her website is up and running - check it out at www.spiritshamans.com. Your comments are welcome, as I designed and built her website!











Tonight, I had the pleasure of meeting actor and artist Robert Dean Stockwell - better known to movie goers as Dean Stockwell. His work DEFINITELY did not include Taos Mountain, the Rio Grande Gorge, clouds, trucks, or dogs. Thoughtful, weird, interesting, made me want to walk him over to any one of his works and ask, "so, what were you thinking /feeling here?" For those not familiar with Dean, I've included a photo of him, in addition to his fan.

My friend Issa de Nicola's work was presented last Saturday night at the Terrie Bennett Gallery. He is an amazing painter...his work is also hung in the La Fonda Hotel lobby.

Also last Saturday night, I had the opportunity to meet Hubertus, whose oil and acrylics were fantastic. He was celebrated at Envision Gallery, owned by Jimmy Murray, brother of Scott and son of John and Pintki.
