Working Artist on the High Road to Taos

About High Road Artist

In the immortal words of Joseph Campbell, “You must give up the life you planned in order to have the life that is waiting for you.” Here’s your chance. Tell me what YOU dream of. Drop me a line and share your hopes and inklings or to send questions my way.

The High Road Artist blog is a source of inspiration for artists, art lovers, and anyone seeking to find spiritual, personal, or artistic growth in their life.

Jeane and the Horses“Jeane George Weigel, an accomplished painter and mentor/life coach, offers in-depth portraits of local New Mexico artists, refreshingly honest and insightful explorations of her own personal journey, and stories about the history, people, and culture of the small New Mexico village which has attracted a flourishing artist’s community and remains an important stop along the High Road to Taos.

More than just a gallery guide, her blog offers anyone interested in living an artful life an intimate view filled with advice, captivating images, poetry, and personal narrative. This is all held together by the artist’s desire to embrace a larger community and invite them to share in her quest for truth, meaning, and beauty in an exquisite but sometimes unforgiving land.” —Kathy Kessler

Jeane in the sunI am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

I started writing this blog because I had a story to tell; a story about living a life that didn’t fit me and how I left that life behind. I am finally living my truth. The following links tell my story, post by post.

  • High Road Artist: My Story Begins
  • My Re-Birthday
  • Leap of Faith
  • Into the Wilderness
  • Of the Land
  • The Long Goodbye
  • Coming to New Mexico
  • Dreams Come True
  • The Night I Died: The Whole Story, Part 1
  • The Night I Died: The Whole Story, Part 2

I have found that the life I live is a constantly unfolding story, filled with joy, accomplishment, fear and struggle. This blog has fostered a community of like-minded people who long for a life fully lived. I hope you’ll join us.

About Me

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
