Artists

Ann Cole has been working as an artist for a vast number of years beginning with a scholarship to the Choinard Art Institute in Los Angeles. She began painting with acrylics in the late 70's. Ann Cole's site will tell you more.

This delightful site features the work of Annie Coe. To Annie Coe painting is about texture, color and the joy of it. Annie Coe knew she wanted to be an artist at eight years old. Her mother went out and bought her an oil set. Annie Coe grew up in Oregon and painted everything in sight. In 1981 Annie Coe moved to San Francisco. It was there that she began to develop her own style. Now that Annie Coe live in New Mexico she is inspired by all the beauty that surrounds her here. <br/>

The real magic of Arellanes' art comes at the moment that the viewer comes in contact with the pieces. There is a living, breathing energy that can only be experienced in person. With the motion of the viewer there is corresponding motion in the artwork.Colors , shapes and depths change. One is allowed to discover new vistas, to experience new aspects. Through his extraordinary union of media, the artists captures the energy of the sun and the spontineity of light. With the interaction of the perceiver and the perceived, the artist inches toward that elusive goal - a primal spiritual inception.<br/>

The border between painting and drawing is non-existent to B J Briner.  The elements that join them are light, color and form.  B J Briner's subject matter comes from exposure to the American West.  The emotion in B J Briner's work has evolved from layers of experiences in life and the fulfillment she gets when she incorporate these experiences in her art.  Layers of life are poured onto a piece of paper like the layers of color...one upon another.  The result is a colored conversation that beckons a mood and moves the viewer closer to the flavors of color and shadow.  From "Best of Show" at the Taos Spring Arts Festival to donating works to philanthropic organizations or works that hang in the US Justice Department her art remains the same.  True to the evolving journey that takes each individual work of art to it's completion.

Chloé Bren Price is a Nationally Acclaimed Watercolor Artist Living in Taos. About her work, Bren reflects, "For me, the freedom of going into another realm where there are no rules, no boundaries, just that oneness of being in process with the creation, is what being an artist is about. . . I want the viewer to become such a part of my work that he is filled with questions, not answers; that he must interpret for himself what is there, and that he will find something in my work that is his alone - a journey of discovery."
