Diana Bryer Studio

Nationally known artist Diana Bryer pays tribute to the history and culture of northern New Mexico in her bright, colorful, and often humorous paintings and notecards. In doing so, Diana draws upon the inspiration of folklore, songs, and traditions. These she mixes with those of other cultures and religions throughout the world to produce something which is somehow simultaneously uniquely New Mexican and universal in its message of tolerance, love, and harmony. Come see Diana`s Gypsy Caravan.

Acequia Madres Studio Gallery

Since 2001, artist Debbie Denison and photographer Liz Gold have been portraying in paintings and photographs the beautiful and sacred landscape of Chimayó and the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Both were called to artistic creation when illness made it impossible for them to hold regular jobs. They consider all of their works gifts of the spirit. They offer many beautiful images of the Santuario and other sacred places, Pueblo life, and everyday life in Northern New Mexico.

acequia madre (ah·SAY·kee·ah MAH·dray)--the main irrigation canal. In arid New Mexico, it is the source, the giver of life.

acequia madres--acequia mothers. We open the gates of our acequia, which brings life to our apple, pear, and cherry trees. And we open the gates of our life spring, the creative source from which our efforts flow.


Open most afternoons. Call or drop by and honk.
