Another glass artist is Susan Aulde who creates bottlestoppers, jewelry, windchimes, and glasses. She also combines her talents of glass and metal to create beautiful plant stands and tables.

Addie Draper is a nationally known pastel artist renowned for her breathtaking impressionistic and abstract landscapes as well as her architectural paintings. Her vibrant use of color is a trademark of her paintings which she has now transferred to oil painting. She also will be exhibiting her sustainably produced soaps, hand lotions, and pine needle baskets.

Deb Vetterman is an art therapist who began showing with pencil drawings and not exhibits oil paintings including portraits and landscapes.

Ann Adams is a nature photographer. While her main focus is macro shots of New Mexico wildflowers, she also enjoys capturing the unique landscapes of New Mexico and the Southwest in both framed art and greeting cards. Her woodturned bowls will also be on display.

Anne Ravenstone sells her beeswax hand-dipped candles and tinwork at the gallery. She incorporates her tinwork with weathered wood, producing useful and interesting objects. Her candles and tin holiday ornaments are a favorite during the holiday season.

Her love of beads and jewelry has taken her to exotic places to find materials for her work. A recent trip to Bali and Indonesia provided a striking display of unusual carved and silver pieces that Mary has incorporated into her beaded necklaces and earrings.

Ron Minnick is a sculptor who works in wood, bronze and most recently alabaster, after discovering it was being quarried near Mountainair. His art includes miniature sculptures as well as life-size male and female busts.

Doris Burton-Minnick works in a number of art forms. Her artwork includes pottery, fused glass and wire wrap jewelry, raku, ceramic teapot bird houses, ceramic toad houses, and glass window decorations.

Marilyn Conway offers her fine art photography in both giclee prints and greeting cards. These hand-painted Silver Gelatin photographs speak of distances and memories. With their dream-like auras, each photograph is unique due to its individual hand-painted qualities. Executed in editions of 25, Marilyn's photographs hold those tones reminiscent of Andrew Wyeth.

Timothy Wyllie focuses on producing diligently crafted and thoughtful "symbolist" graphics that function as windows to other worlds, parallel universes and the spiritual realms. Timothy says his main aim at this phase of his life is to build a large body of work that he can exhibit as one whole. These colored pencil drawings are available as framed and unframed giclee prints.

Lore Wills is a weaver who has been creating unique shawls for 20 years. Her colorful garments are on display at the gallery.

Shirley Simmons is a plein air painter whose oil paintings are striking depictions of Southwest landscapes. A long-time member of the gallery, Shirley is now exhibiting as a guest artist.

Lois Minnick is a Western realist pastel artist. Her paintings capture the essence of living in rural New Mexico whether through painting a chicken yard scene or a landscape.

Susan Probert creates nature art with gourds and cholla crosses.

Chris Tegard offers woodturned bottle stoppers, key chains and high quality pens.
