On the Road in New Mexico: Canyon Road Stroll

Canyon Road in Santa Fe is, arguably, one of the most famous “art streets” in America, if not the world. Long ago it was, literally, just a narrow dirt road leading up to the canyon.

Ojo Sarco Pottery, Part 1, Kathy Riggs

September 11, 2012 by Jeane George Weigel

Kathy Riggs and Jake Willson are two potters living in Ojo Sarco, one village up the mountain from Truchas.

I 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.
