What better way to pass a Saturday than perusing galleries and listening to music along one of Santa Fe’s most distinctive destinations, Canyon Road?
Join the merchants of Canyon Road, fellow art lovers, local musicians, and community members of all stripes on Mother’s Day Weekend, May 11th through the 13th, for an unforgettable day of fine art, great music, and silent auctions. The whole event is designed as a fundraiser for the Santa Fe Public Schools Music Education Program, so in addition to having a great time, you will be helping to develop the creative minds of the city’s youth.
Grab your passport, or map of the events, in the morning and spend the rest of the day exploring Canyon Road’s half-mile stretch of galleries, restaurants, and shops.
Art-spiration
Several of the galleries along the road will be hosting silent auctions with a wide array of art, gifts, and other items available for bidding throughout the day. It’s the perfect opportunity to take home a signature piece of work or just to have fun trying to outbid your competitors. And don’t forget—it’s all for a good cause!
In the afternoon several local artists will participate in a fun “quick draw,” creating original works of art using a variety of techniques and media in just 90 minutes and offering a rare glimpse inside the creative process along the way. The finished pieces will be auctioned off as soon as they are dry enough to take home. Whether you are a collector, an artist, or simply a lover of fine art, this will be a unique opportunity to see the creation of a work of art from initial inspiration to final brush stroke.
Playing for Change
Student musicians from the Santa Fe Public schools will be playing at various venues throughout the day, creating a melodious backdrop for the events. In the evening, John Rangel will be performing at Ventana—also located on Canyon Road— during a free concert.
A Day of Fun
From music lovers to art collectors, and from those who want to support the community to those who just want to get outside and enjoy the festivities, the daylong events promise something for everyone. Bring the family, come for the food, place a bid, and relax to the rhythm of the music along Canyon Road!

Mother’s Day Tour
HISTORIC SANTA FE ~ 100 YEARS SINCE STATEHOOD Sunday May 13, 2012 1 – 4 pm
This year’s annual Mother’s Day Historic House Tour celebrates 100 years of statehood. Using information from the 1912 King’s Map of Santa Fe, the foundation tour highlights buildings on portions of Canyon Road, Garcia Street and Acequia Madre that were in existence in 1912.
Tickets for the self-guided tour are $5.00 and can be purchased at the four properties on the Foundation Registry listed below.
El Zaguán – 545 Canyon Road
The Olive Rush House & Studio – 630 Canyon Road
The von Horvath House – 728 Canyon Road
441 Acequia Madre Casita
Along the tour route, New Mexico state flags are displayed on historically significant properties included on the tour. Most of the businesses in pre-1912 structures along Canyon Road are inviting tour participants to come in and explore their buildings. Many of these properties could qualify for historic listing once historic and architectural documentation is performed. As you tour the buildings be sure to examine the windows, ceilings, floors and thickness of the walls. This will give you clues as to their age.

Quick Draw Artist Biographies and Statements
| Michael Bergt
Jane Sauer Gallery |
Michael Bergt sculpts and paints figures from life as well as his fertile imagination. His subject matter covers the gamut including still lifes, florals, and interiors. He often uses mythology as reference points for his handling of contemporary subject matter. He has mastered egg-tempera and is now leading a nationwide effort to call attention to this oft forgotten medium — the Society of Tempera Painters. |
| Dominique Boisjoli
Dominique Boisjoli Fine Art |
Originally from Montreal Canada, Dominique Boisjoli started painting at the age of 8. “Painting is the language I choose to bring happiness in everyone’s life.” Dominique is an internationally collected artist who has lived in the United States for over 20 years. She loves to express her joyful explosion of color and movement on a large scale. |
| Steven Boone
Steven Boone Gallery |
Steven has a firm foundation in the basics of art, gained through years of study leading to a degree in painting from The Maryland Institute, College of Art. It has always been important to him as an artist to be unconstrained in his expression and to experiment. He has experience with many approaches and techniques: painting tight still-lifes with extensive underpainting, bold landscapes using just a palette knife, portraits, abstracts, and non-objective paintings. |
| Fred Calleri
Beals and Abbate Fine Art |
A graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art, Fred Calleri has taken his education in figurative and representational painting to another quality. His slight distortions in the figure offer a romantic and mysterious edge that is evolving to a smoother blending of the representational narrative that is created in each painting. |
| Andrea Joy Cermanski
The William and Joseph Gallery |
Andrea is an artist and educator who lives and works in Santa Fe. An artist for sixteen years, with a Masters in Art Education, she describes her work as a conversation in color inspired by the intricacies of the natural world. Extracting her palette from nature, her work embodies the delicate interplay of light and color, texture and form. |
| Rush Cole
Jewel Mark |
Award-winning artist, writer and photographer Rush Cole focusses on beauty, color, and light in her work. Her love of all life is obvious in her vibrant portraits of people and horses, landscapes, and still lifes. Proficient in pastel, watercolor, acrylics, and oil, Cole’s art has been included in juried national exhibits from New York to L.A., and her numerous awards include Best of Show in the National Watercolor Society. |
| George Duncan
Vivo Contemporary |
“My art is an expression of what I call architectural surrealism, suggesting the mystery of chaotic complexity incompletely contained within a structure of rigorous formality. To me surrealism suggests an expression of surprise through weird juxtapositions that challenge rational thought, elevate spontaneity, and fracture arrangements.” |
| Annie O’Brien Gonzales
Matthews Gallery |
Equally proficient in oil, acrylic, and mixed media, Annie creates abstracted spontaneous images on canvas, board, and paper adding texture by drawing, scratching and erasing surfaces. “It’s all about color, pattern and texture to me. I choose colors that thrill me and add texture when it’s needed. I’m painting all the time either in reality or in my head. I’m not much for ‘rules’ and like to add charcoal, graphite, crayon, or collage if I can get away with it.” |
| Rudy Gonzales
Darnell Fine Art |
As student, teacher, craftsman, and artist, Rudy Gonzales has traveled down many roads guided by his desire to participate fully in all aspects of life. He is widely known today for his nude bronze figures that reflect the tension between creating abstract and figurative work. Some of his pieces embody the spirit of mother earth and the natural beauty within us and surrounding us. Others celebrate the simple energy and power of being alive. |
| Morika Hensley
Tresa Vorenberg Goldsmiths |
Currently a senior at Taos High School, Morika comes from a family of artists and has been drawing and making jewelry since 1997. Under the gifted eyes of her father, Taos artist Jackson Hensley; mother, goldsmith Tresa Vorenberg; and half-brother, artist Michael Hensley, Morika has developed artistic talents of her own. She will produce a work with pencil on paper in the Artist Quick Draw. Her jewelry can be seen at Tresa Vorenberg Goldsmiths on Canyon Road. |
| Andrée Hudson
Waxlander Gallery |
Andrée Hudson, a Colorado based acrylic artist, studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art, receiving her BFA in Illustration and Visual Communications. An early talent in medical illustration was encouraged to grow in many artistic directions. Her paintings of the living form catch a moment in time and you can feel the motion in her vibrant colors. Andrée is collected nationally and internationally. |
| Natasha Isenhour
The William and Joseph Gallery |
“People often ask if I know what colors I will use before I begin,” Natasha says. The answer is “no.” More often than not, she steps up to the oil box or the pastel box and allows herself to be inspired by a color. Natasha’s passion and emotion drive her work, and she finds that the subject matter is merely a catalyst to convey emotion through color. |
| Barbara Ivey
Waxlander Gallery |
Barbara Ivey lives in South Fork, CO, where her studio is surrounded by wildlife, rivers, and mountains. Juried shows she has participated in include: American Women Artist shows, Albuquerque Miniatures, CM Russell Museum shows, American Plains Artists, Santa Fe Habitat for Humanity, Heart of the West- Cowgirl Museum (Ft Worth, TX), and Gilcrease Museum. Barbara Ivey’s honors are many, including the Grumbacher Gold and publications in Cowboys and Indians and American Art Collector. |

| Cheryl Koen
Waxlander Gallery |
Known for portraying beauty, grace and movement in equine subjects, Koen is equally at home capturing the personality of the New Mexico Landscape. Each of her paintings is a personal memory for the artist, and the viewer reaps the benefits of seeing technically correct paintings that are also a window to the artist’s heart and soul. |
| Robert Kuester
Sage Creek Gallery |
A native of Iowa, Robert Kuester spent two years at Drake University, and went on to obtain a BFA from the Art Center of Design in Los Angeles. Living in New Mexico since 1986, Robert paints still life, landscapes, figures, and commissioned portraits in oils only. |
| Ann Laser
Vivo Contemporary |
Historically, art has been recognized as one avenue to the soul. “I find that this is true for me,” says Ann. “Being at one with myself in the creative process has a way of opening me to the larger mystery of life.” For Ann, there is nothing more exciting than experiencing the transcendent moment when the print comes off the press or the brush meets the canvas. |
| Tanner Lawley
Canyon Road Contemporary Art |
Since August of 2008, Tanner has created hundreds of original artworks that can be found in a growing number of public and private collections. Best known for his bold and colorful heart paintings, his peers and friends call him “The Heart Artist.” He is now internationally known and represented in some of the largest art markets in the world. Tanner paints and lives in Allen, TX with his wife D’Anne, and daughter Haven. |
| Lisa Linch
Lakind Fine Art |
Art lovers have been connecting with and acquiring Lisa Linch paintings for more than a decade. Drawn in by astute color harmonies and inviting compositions, viewers are rewarded on emotional and aesthetic planes in painting after painting. A buoyant spirit permeates her work; and her canvases are the splendid fruits of impeccable training, an international education, and a lifelong tendency to keep surpassing her last achievement. |
| Margi Lucena
Selby Fleetwood Gallery |
Whether painting en Plein Air or in the studio, Margi captures the beauty of the natural landscape and the constantly changing light, atmosphere, and color of southwestern vistas. Her goal as an artist is to establish a connection between her expression of what she sees and the viewer. “The amazing and magical landscape of New Mexico keeps me simultaneously grounded and floating on air.” |
| Jan Mapes
Mark Sublette Medicine Man Gallery |
Growing up in a military family, Jan dreamed of living with cowboys, horses, cattle, and wildlife amid the beautiful landscapes of the west. Today Jan lives in southeastern Colorado where she and her husband raise and train cutting horses. Here she finds her artistic subjects in the mounted cowboys and ranch animals, whose movements and expressions she captures so beautifully in her sculptures and paintings. |
| Bernard Marks
Waxlander Gallery |
Bernard Marks is a local Santa Fe artist whose work is primarily created plein air. He travels with his wife in their RV to many famous spots in the great American southwest such as Palo Duro Canyon, Canyon de Chelly, and the Grand Canyon. Using bold colors, Bernard captures the sunlight of these beautiful spots with each stroke of his brush. His artwork is collected nationally and internationally. |
| Barbara Meikle
Pippin Meikle Fine Art |
Native New Mexican Barbara Meikle pursues her artistic dreams with color and energy, using horses and burros as her guide. She has spent her life painting and drawing them, as well as the landscape of New Mexico, and has work in collections around the globe. |
| Raymond Nordwall
Nordwall Gallery and Studio |
Nordwall, of Pawnee and Ojibwe descent, is known for his contemporary depictions of traditional Native American cultures including warriors, dancers, and tribe leaders depicted with vivid palettes and loose brush strokes. He graduated with honors from the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe in 1987, and has exhibited in galleries and museums across the country including the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, and the National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center in Oklahoma City. |
| Gin Pollock
Darnell Fine Art |
Gin Pollock is an artist of exceptional talent and vitality whose art alternates between works that grapple with the lonely side of human experience and pieces that celebrate life and its possibilities with exuberance and wit. Though rigorously schooled in art history and technique, her works resound with echoes of the Masters and her compositions have impeccable balance and movement. Her work also reveals a tremendous unbridled energy, utterly personal and unbound by abstract thought. |
| Richard Potter
The William and Joseph Gallery |
Richard’s study of drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, and art history at the University of New Mexico acted as a catalyst to his subsequent exploration and development in the visual arts. Now, a leading contemporary in the field of encaustic painting, his work is collected internationally and four of his pieces have been added to the State of New Mexico’s permanent art collection. |
| Jason Roberts
Canyon Road Contemporary Art |
Jason Roberts’ multi-faceted combinations of portraits, still lifes, and figurative paintings are featured in block sets. The fine art, wooden, nesting blocks that he uses have five solid sides with a one-of-a-kind painting on each. Usually, a block set consists of ten blocks with a total of fifty paintings. His work is not only fun to look at; with its vivid colors and textures, it is meant to be touched. |
| Jeremy & Eileen Rosetta
River Trading Post |
The Rosettas create authentic, handmade Native American jewelry of the highest quality using sterling silver, brass, copper, natural turquoise, and shells. Traditional and contemporary designs are used along with petroglyph symbols. The designs are original and one of a kind.

| Brad Smith
Brad Smith Gallery |
Brad Smith illuminates the canvas and Canyon Road with his signature style – a blend of cutting-edge and classic Santa Fe. Visit the gallery and you will get the pleasure of observing an artist in creative action, as Brad Smith often paints right in the gallery. “I have a gallery in Santa Fe, because it is my destiny. Just like the acorn is destined to be a tree…that is where my life has brought me. I embrace that and am happy, feeling I am on purpose for the first time in my life. I have arrived where I am supposed to be.” |
| Linda Kyser Smith
Sage Creek Gallery |
Linda Kyser Smith brings a strong sense of color and composition to her figurative paintings of women – “they can be so glamorous, so dramatic, poetic and exotic” and children – “they are so unbelievably lovely-to try to capture that is such a challenge”. After years of training and studying with artists such as Raymond Kinstler and Harley Brown, Linda finds the mediums of Oil and pastel to be the most suitable for her work. Even though her portraits are strong and bold they give the viewer a sense of the soft vulnerability of her subjects. |
| Linda St. Clair
Gallery 822 |
Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, Linda learned a lot about the mannerisms and attitudes of animals. Later, living in Dallas, she was guided by her late husband, painter Dean St. Clair, and turned her full attention to painting. “My goal is to offer the viewer a rare, if not surprising, glimpse into an animal’s individuality, its endearing qualities and often complex internal state.” Linda now lives in Santa fe and is a two-time recipient of the Grumbacher Gold Medal and member of the Society of Animal Artists in New York. |
| James Trigg
Waxlander Gallery |
James is a nationally acclaimed, award-winning artist who specializes in painting the magnificent vistas of the American Southwest, particularly the villages and missions of northern New Mexico. He works both plein air on location and in his studio in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
