Trish Booth says she has always done art (see previous post Opening at Ghost Pony Gallery, Truchas, NM). Everyone thought she would be a writer, though, including herself. In fact her first large purchase, ever, was a “big fat fancy electric typewriter.” She spent $400 on it in 1974. “But then one day I decided […]
Artist Profiles
The Art of Anna Karin, Truchas, New Mexico
You all know Anna Karin from my posts about putting together our new gallery, The Anna Karin Gallery, here in Truchas, NM. Anna is, of course, my partner in that venture. While I’ve written a post about her before (The Old Adobe Church, the Wolf and Survival), I’ve never written specifically about her work—an oversight […]
Barbara McCauley’s Opening at The Gallery on the Green, Taos, NM

Writing has been a struggle and after a few failed attempts at starting his own blog he realized he needed someone else to do the writing while he concentrated on the technology. That’s […]
Lorey Sebastian In Truchas
Many of you were intrigued by my friend from the film industry who couldn’t share photos from the movies she’s worked on because of copyright law, but she wanted to offer, here, some shots she has taken of Truchas starting in 2004 when she first arrived–some of her favorites. Here’s Lorey Sebastian’s Truchas: Love to […]
