Tesuque Wanderings: A Painting Finds Its Home

Private showings in Santa Fe + NYC available now. Inquire within.

I never expected to sell a painting over morning coffee.

But that's exactly what happened.

She was just visiting. An Airbnb guest, staying a few nights in the casita.
But one afternoon, I noticed her lingering. Eyes locked on the canvas in the hallway—Tesuque Wanderings.

“Who made that?” she asked.

“I did,” I smiled.

The next morning, the check was written.
The painting wrapped.
And I stood in that quiet, sacred moment—the kind artists live for.

This is why I do this.
Not for spectacle, but for connection.
For the joy of knowing a piece I poured myself into has found its person
Someone who will wake up with it. Live with it.
Let it change the way sunlight moves through their room.

This wasn’t a gallery sale.
This was intimacy.
Art not behind velvet ropes, but hanging next to a bookshelf.
Seen. Felt. Chosen.

Tesuque Wanderings has sold.
And it couldn’t have found a more perfect home.

To those who stay in my spaces:
May the walls whisper to you.
May beauty find you when you least expect it.
And if a painting calls—listen.

Become a collector. Book a private retreat. Commission your own piece.
