These two talented artists moved to Truchas, New Mexico about 2 decades ago from St. Paul, Minnesota.
When you take The High Road to Taos, be sure to stop at their gallery because you will be enthralled by their art and will be treated graciously and with hospitality by both of them.
Born in San Jose, Costa Rica, Cardona-Hine has lived in the United States since 1939. He s a self-taught artist practicing three disciplines: painting, writing and music composition. His work is in public and private collections world-wide.
Barbara McCauley said, " Here in New Mexico and in New England where I grew up, there is a reverence for the land by the people who inhabit it. I paint that reverence. This begins with an awareness of light, how light travels through space and falls on objects to create the illusive beauty of at the world." Her work is in collections all over the U.S. as well as abroad.
deux beaux portraits et un beau sourire
ReplyDeleteLovely to read about these two folks, Kate. They do take stunning portraits. Well done.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful profile of these two artists. I'll be on the look out for their work around here.
ReplyDeleteTruchas is such a cool little town. I will try to stop in there next visit.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home!
Wonderful portraits of the artists!
ReplyDeleteTalented people Kate. Love your captures and the views of the artwork in the second photo. Especially love the top portrait.
ReplyDeleteOh I love these portraits Kate, especially the first shot, brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThese faces are so beautiful. Light inside.
ReplyDeleteYou're quite good at portraits, Kate! And what interesting subjects you find! It looks like these two produce some very nice work.
ReplyDeleteA fine-looking pair (which, of course, they must be, coming from St. Paul)...and very talented, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, where is St. Paul? Is that a suburb of Mpls? Heh, heh!
I love Truchas.
ReplyDeleteYour photograph of the man is simply wonderful, Kate.
