Terry Mulert is an artist living in Cordova, one village down the mountain from Truchas. And he is a friend of mine. He recently wrote a response to a post of mine that I felt deserved a considered answer.

Wolf Schneider came to Truchas to do a story on the art scene here for the Santa Fe New Mexican’s summer magazine, Bienvenidos which was just published!

You know I couldn’t wait to show you our planters once we put in the flowers! We’ve held back the blue morning glories and the black eyed susans until we can be sure of no frost. But most of the rest are planted.

How many artists does it take to get a big old couch into an ancient adobe studio? Anna and I found this great old couch at Pieces in Taos (a fabulous thrift store) last month and put it on layaway. We were SO EXCITED to move it into the studio that’s attached to our gallery.

Another sign of spring is when the farmers and ranchers up here on the mountain dig fresh trenches from the acequias to their various fields. Much as I often wish it was otherwise, Kelee adores few things more than to take a dip in the fresh, running water that courses through them.

Adam and I have been working with a fabulous graphic designer in Santa Fe, Alex Hanna to create a new logo/identity for the blog. I’ve known Alex for quite a few years now. We first worked together when he designed the brochure for the High Road Art Tour.

“It is Wise Fool New Mexico’s mission to ignite imagination, build community, and promote social justice through performances and hands on experiences in the arts of circus, puppetry, and theatre.” Thus their moniker, “Changing lives one circus at a time.”
