 Fenix Gallery "The gallery chose mainly mid career artists but also some deceased artists now and historically well known artists and sometimes very emerging artists.
"A year ago the gallery moved to this very historic building purportedly built in the 1700s... It's very classic adobe with a long portal and has been beautifully renovated. But more pertinent to its home now, from 1937 until '53, a woman ran this as the first contemporary art gallery in Taos and she showed the artists, many of whom are now considered or called 'The Taos Moderns'..." |

 Ashley Unfolding Seamus Berkeley is originally from Ireland, but he has lived in many places in America and the rest of the world. He enjoys painting and have been doing so in one form or another for more than twenty years. He paints and leads workshops in Berkeley and Taos.
Contributor Note: Seamus Berkeley has traveled extensively and is one of the breed of Taos 'locals' that could be termed 'globals', like so many of us. He is a very prolific painter, and creator. Besides his excellent painting work, his Web site work is also excellent with some real fun time lapse videos of paintings being created right before your eyes. Way to go, Seamus!

 Tammy Garcia "I was about sixteen years old when I actually sold my first piece. And it was eight years ago when I started bronze, making sculptures to be bronzed. And that was really fun.
"That allowed me a way to express, I guess, my artistic views and allowed me to create forms that I couldn't make with the water-based clay. So it really opened the doors to new sizes and shapes, as well as color..." |

 Russian Art "The Dance by Matisse, one of the most famous paintings in the world, in the UK for the first time. It's just one of dozens of masterpieces from Russian state collections which make up the "From Russia" exhibition at London's Royal Academy of Arts.
With works from Picasso, Rousseau and Gauguin, it's little surprise that hundreds of thousands of people are expected to visit this exhibition. What might be surprising is that it didn't geet the go-ahead until 2 weeks ago...." |

 Georgia O'Keeffe Georgia O'Keeffe: "When I got to New Mexico, that was mine. As soon as I saw it, that was my country. I'd never seen anything like it before but it fitted to me exactly. It's something that's in the air. It's different. The sky is different. The stars are different. The wind is different. I shouldn't say too much about this, 'cause other people may get interested and I don't want them interested.
"I don't go out like that now, but I used to get right up in the morning and start out and stay out all day. I'd start off around seven and not get back until around five.
"Hot? Well, of course it was hot. It was terribly hot. And in the afternoon at about four o'clock, the bees would try to get in the car, so you'd have to close the windows. Of course it was hot.
"But a Model-A was wonderful. You could take the back seat out. I could sit on the driver's seat when I turned it around and I could work on the back seat. The windows were large enough that it was very good and I could use a great big canvas..." |
