As I’ve said before, many of the artists living up here on the High Road have their own galleries, while often showing in others as well. Like several throughout the villages, Trish Booth and Leonardo Pieterse have theirs, Ghost Pony Gallery, in their home. It’s a perfect scenario because they don’t have to leave to go to work and visitors get a personal glimpse of village life. They recently had an opening and I wanted to share some photos from the evening. Most of the work shown was Trish’s since much of Leonardo’s work is currently being shown in Hand Artes Gallery here in Truchas. Also featured was the work of photographer, Agata Kaczmarska.
Trish primarily focuses on historic architecture and the southwest landscape as “vehicles to convey isolation and otherness.” Of her work she says, “Representational yet surreal, [my] paintings inhabit a twilight zone between reality and imagination. Abstracting the images to various degrees further incorporates a sense of mystery allowing structures and landscapes to read as symbolic spaces—as portals or refuges.”
She also does a series of mixed media pieces using torn and sewn Mulberry paper mounted on canvas, a process she developed herself.

Jeane,
I LOVE her work, which one of the folks in the photos is she? Just curious. At first I thought it was the white haired lady, then the one behind the food table..host?
Lol.
Thanks for sharing:)!!

Nope, neither. She is the 4th and 5th photo down with the glasses, necklace and black top. I didn’t even THINK to identify her! Trish is Trish, afterall. 🙂 She’s also in yesterday’s post at the bottom. She came to share a bottle of champagne with me. Ghost Pony is right next door to our gallery.
Her work, Trishs’ is very interesting the way she paints it. Brilliant colors! I love the way she describes it: “between reality and imagination”. That is what makes it very interesting! What kind of medium does she work in? Thanks for the tour of this particular opening. Take Care, Cin=)
You’re welcome, Cindy. Always nice to have you come along. She paints with oil on canvas. By the way, I was wrong about the 200th post with the before and after shots of the gallery going live yesterday. It won’t post until Friday.
