A recent trip to New Mexico generated this series of works from Santa Fe and Taos. I was influenced by the 'katsina's'
and the lore of the area. Every shop one could go in these figures pervaded. I found them not only colorful but novel subject matter for a 'Santa Fe/Taos' series. I've always thought of living in NM and I am getting closer to that dream. The locals are real and wonderful people. They are true individuals and speak their mind. This is the 'drawing power' of the old west. VIVA SANTA FE a gallery in Santa Fe will display these new pieces.
