Stunning... Beautiful... Breathtaking... Tasteful... Amazing. All these words and more can be used to describe a single unique mountain-side art studio in Ruidoso. That very impressive place is known simply as "Studio W". If you only have time to visit one art location in Ruidoso, then Studio W should be the place! Perched in a scenic mountain location Studio W features a very impressive collection of visual art with nothing but stunning works covering every square foot of wall space in their incredible 7,000 square foot gallery. The painted, photographed and hand-drawn works of hundreds of excellent artists from across the nation are featured here and almost every one of them is for sale. Even more important than their impressive collection of art from artists across America is their collection of the works of dozens of wonderfully talented New Mexico artists. Be sure to see the paintings of New Mexico artists Jack Atkins, Julia Hope-Price, Margie Blue, John Hopkins, Doreman Burns and Gary Morton to name a few. The naturally sunlit gallery is filled with the beautiful works of many talented New Mexico artists.

Be sure to take along your checkbook. If you don't, you'll certainly wish you had. And if you're lucky, perhaps you'll get to see the works of the gallery's owner too. Our kudos go out to Wayne, owner and creator of Studio W. He has managed to create what his website aptly describes as "the premier fine art gallery of Ruidoso & one of the largest art galleries in the Southwest border region." Without question, Studio W gets 5 Ojos. It is the best private gallery we've seen in all of New Mexico and their website is nearly as good as visiting Studio W in person!
