I met Brett Chomer at the Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino located just outside Santa Fe, where we went to see the art work positioned throughout the building. We chatted with Brett who was doing the annual cleaning and buffing of "Deer Dancer," a creation of artist George Rivera, who is also the Governor of Pueblo Pojoaque. Brett is an artist himself and often helps complete the sculptures after Rivera has completed the designs and small figure-versions for the larger sculpted pieces. The contemporary and traditional pieces of art scattered throughout the complex is definitely worth a trip.
The Deer Dancer is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome piece of art! You should have posed in your red boots with the sculpture, Great Kate!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
I don't believe I've ever spotted anyone cleaning artwork before. So glad you captured it. What an amazing bronze that is.
ReplyDeleteI like the style of the 'Deer Dancer', and it is always nice and interesting to see an artist at work.
ReplyDeleteThat is a spectacular piece. Looks like it got a good teeth cleaning.
