Alvaro Cardona-Hine, from Costa Rica, has lived in the United States since 1939. Cardona-Hine is a self-taught artist practicing three disciplines: painting, writing and musical composition. Of necessity, he became his own teacher, inspired by all of the great artists, Eastern as well as Western. Barbara McCauley began painting and drawing in her teens and studied drawing for 2 years at UCLA, but pursued writing for the next 30 years, principally poetry, and has numerous publications in poetry, fiction, non-fiction and one Emmy Award-winning educational television series. Her work has a concentrated essence and feeling for place as opposed to an exactness of representation. In the brief time since she has returned to painting, her work is in collections all over the United States as well as abroad.<br/>

Carey Moore Studio - Dramatic, colorful scenes of northern New Mexico. Carey Moore moved to Taos in 1976. Moore studied painting with Larry Hillburn, Noel Hudson and Ray Vinella among others. She has won awards in national juried exhibitions, and has had 16 one-person shows. She has served on the board of numerous art organizations including the Taos Institute of the Arts, Visual Arts Committee of the Stables Art Center, and as Museum Chair of the Art Committee for the Harwood Foundation. The color created by light on landscape, the charm of the design of a Taos street, are what has shaped Carey Moore's dramatic eye for visual art in her oil paintings of Northern New Mexico. As a member of the national organization Women Artists of the West (WAOW), Carey Moore's work is seen internationally in private and corporate collections. Carey Moore's paintings are seen on the covers of such diverse books as the "Spirit that wants me" (Duff Publishing), the Danish translation of "Maps to Ectsacy" (Borgen Press), the "Names and Numbers" phone book of Taos and Northern New Mexico (Aspenwood Directories), and an ecology reader called "What on Earth?" published by Perfection Learning.

For Kathie, a much-loved family photograph of a small boy and his sister, hand-painted in Chicago, at the turn of the 19th century, has turned into a journey of discovery and passion for the nostalgic appeal of overlaying color in layers over a photograph. Covering portions of an underlining black and white photo, enhancing but not changing the original print, creating moods with hints of tint, ultra color or fully painted effects. The drama is added by removing some color and letting the photograph peek through ..... tricking the eye and deceiving the brain.

Starting in 1973, Kathie has continually enhanced her vision though various educational endeavors. First taking courses at the University of Milwaukee, then graduating from MATC, and ending with her third degree from Concordia University. In 1999, Kathie switched her focus to hand colored photography and by 2001 she was one of the first hand colorists to use traditional hand coloring techniques on Black and White digital prints. Kathie’s work has been exhibited throughout the United States, and in portions of Europe and Asia. She has won numerous awards, been published and teaches workshops on hand coloring photographs.

Clarence Medina has been painting since he was about 12, and now he's in his mid 30's. He's probably painted more Embudo Valley scenery than just about anybody else on earth. Even on the coldest winter days, you can find Clarence Medina outdoors, with his easel, trying to capture beauty on his canvas. And capture it he does. When in New Mexico please plan a visit to the Medina Studio. The studio sits perched ontop of a hill with the Acequia Apodaca flowing below, and the fabulous views of the Sangre de Cristos are a must see during sunset.
