Very Nice and great team work.Wish you where still in Taos.
#1. Tony Abeyta is one of my favorite artists, if not my favorite. Every brush stroke seems to have meaning. #2. His technique seems in harmony with his subject matter, and his subjects resonate for anyone who loves the southwest. #3. I hope he does more large canvases like the one in the video!
More photographic based psuedo-surrealism. How interesting. Dali would be amused.
Thank you for sharing this spectacular video with the world. I'm from Germany and I love sculpting and arts. The result from Tammy Garcias work of Art is really outstanding.
Incredibly interesting, thank you for sharing. The end result is as beautiful as all of her other pieces, quite magical really.....
Dear Tony,
I've only "met" you through your videos, which I find myself searching for after seeing the "Underworldness" one at the Heard Museum. I'm deeply touched by your art in all its forms, but particularly the black and white. I dabble in many art forms (mostly weaving), but your work has actually inspired me to paint for the first time in my life. It's wonderful that you can talk with your audiences while creating such incredible stuff without missing a beat. Thank you for all your beautiful, inspiring work, and please come back to SOFA Chicago next year so I can come to see you!
Awsome, now if I could just win the lottery.
Any chance of being in on any of the future fireings or just as a spectator? From one ceramic artist/enthusiast to another.
I purchased her pottery in 1978 in Phoenix. Would like to learn more about her work.
Josh.......I remember that little blond headed kid wrestling at Mountainville with Tommy. You've come far, and your talent is outstanding. I see much of your mothers influnence in you work. I still have all the hand made birthday cards she sent me.
Stay Well Joshua.........Michael
What an inspiring video! The fire, artist, earth, friends assisting and of course the beautiful pot. Pure delight. Thank you!
It was nice to have met you Peter. This years show was fantastic and your space setup was well done. You have so many great artists. . See you in Santa Fe next June.
Doug
How interesting and fun to see how these amazing pots are fired! I was thinking that it would be a great video to show in a high school art class. I'm assuming that the fire is put out with the sand to allow the pot to cool slowly so that it doesn't crack.
Great video! Thanks for sharing it.
This is truly great style and flavoring.
I am doing a project for art class, and your work is so new and innovative that I am doing it on you. God bless those hands of yours that put out this wondrous art!
Ms. Garcia, I'm doing a project on a modern artist, and I would like to know why you make the work that you do. I love it so much- it really strikes me and puts thoughts in my head.
WOW! Absolutely the most beautiful jewelry and the creativity is impeccable. I hope to own of one of these Native American beauties!
PARABÉNS!!!! Sua criatividade, originalidade, visão de mundo interior é simplesmente, fantástica! Seu trabalho, além de belo e expressivo, encanta com suas formas lúdicas que levam à abstração do novo, do imaginário, bem como do real. Desculpe por escrever em português, mas se em minha própria língua não consigo expressar o que seu trabalho me desperta, certamente em inglês me seria impossível.
Abraços a quem entendo como verdadeiro ARTISTA!
Amazing! A wonderful intro to the mystries of art and it's expression.
Ohhh so BEAUTIFUL! With juxtaposition of complexity and simplicity your work tells a fantastic story. I so enjoy your work. It makes me smile.
Cherie
Great work
As this was my first viewing of shelley muzylowski allen's art, I loved what for me was a surprise ending. I have seen glass artists at work before, and so was very impressed by the physicality and scale of the process. What really struck me was the simultaneous sponteneity (now, that's what I saw; perhaps every possible dribble was under control.) and deliberateness of the process. In my mind I "saw" the final result ... Alchemy! Magic! Not what was in my mind at all! Ah Ha! Beautiful. Thank you for the show!
E. Marie Baker
wow! what a great film. I had never seen you doing your own work start to finish. You seemed so focused and in control.Maybe it's the feminine touch but differant from watching Rik or Bill. Julia and Jacob watched it with me and were facinated by the whole thing. We have to get them out there to really see the scale of it all. Love to you and Ric, Sally
wow josh, utterly speechless, as always you have such haunting beauty in the strokes of your brush. I feel blessed to understand tid bits of what you have painted, and am compelled to hear the story of the rest. you have a gift of bringing your imagination into the physical world.

Amazing - I have seen you working in person and now on the video. Just watching it sends me through all sorts of emotions- power, calm, assertive, precision, control and a little anxiety and stress. It is so intense and you perform it so well. And the outcome-magnificent. Carry on...I will live vicariously through you!
Look into my grandmother "Marriane Navasie" decesed. Also a fine artist of the traditional Hopi Pottery.
I had no idea how you created your beautiful works. Your new horse is lovely but I really love my sea horses.
It looks like a lot of hard work, but very nice. Thanks for sending it. I loved the work that was on the gallery card you sent me...........
Ben,
Your paintings are beautiful! You touch many peoples hearts with your work!
Very cool photography....how did you do that. I am inspired!!
he is a very well talented person, he is the best grandfather anyone could have and spends most of his time carving and farming. Most of all he loves spending time with his grandchildren.
We love you gwa-ah!
I do truly believe that you have one of many great creations from one profound artist. His elegant style of Native American Contemporary Art has swept inquisitive minds and alluring eyes to firmly believing that all possibilities can and will be accomplished. Yet, still capturing the integrity and humbleness of the love for art and the will to endeavor to excel. Thank you.
Just came across this. Man, these are beautiful! I hope to see in person soon. We were in the same program at Lacoste. Anyway, really cool to see what you've been making - or what has been made through you. Cheers!
Thanks for the opportunity to have Bronzesmith do the patina demonstration again this year. As always it is a pleasure to work with the Blue Rain Gallery group. We look forward to exciting new work in the future.
Wish I could have been there, the video was beautiful.
We purchased two of Kevin Short's works, "Let's Go" and "Abiquiu," from Blue Rain from among this collection. Two years later, we admire the work even more than when we first saw them in the Gallery.
Les's pots are wonderful! We can't be in Santa Fe this summer : between Mom's dying and the re-opening of our burned facility we have to stick closer to home. What can we do?
Jeff
Enjoyed the video. Davids work is outstanding.
looks like you still have the touch.
See you there
magnificant. No matter what the art is was absolutly fabulous. They were all beautiful and you could see the heart and soul they put forth in their art.
breathtaking video. Beautiful creations. I wish I was going to be at the show! What an experience.
It is amazing to see Jim Vogel at work and to hear him speak about his paintings and inspiration. It adds yet another layer of interest to his paintings. Thank you for sharing this insightful piece!
GREAT!
These pieces thrilled my senses when I saw them in the gallery on Monday. Vivid, sharp, soft..... they drew me in.
The fused glass, intense color - gathering light from the window.
Susie Fowler
I was so pleased to see Deborah's work in your gallery on Monday. Her graceful forms are pleasing and the imagery compelling.
And Richard Zane Smith's new pieces are as intricate and close to the earth as possible!
Wonderful visit. Thanks, Susie Fowler
Thank you for showing the artists at work. There is nothing more fascinating than the creative process.
Blessings
Shanny Lott
Very nice!
Enjoyed the video--bacground music too loud when he was speaking. Video give interesting information.
≈ Tony... you are so super ≈
xox, jen
I remember driving cross country and made sure to make it through Taos on our way to CA. I am so grateful that we ran into Blue Rain Gallery and saw your amazing work. I am a fine artist in FL, but I hope so some day to own a piece of yours. Your work has made a place in my mind always and you will have yet another admirer of your amazing creations.
I wanted you know that I always keep a quote of yours printed out on the wall in my studio - "We are all journeying. Our journeys encompass our past, our upbringing, our anguishes and joys..." My work will always be about my journey and your inspiration will be a part of the path I am on.
Thank you for sharing your visions with this world!
-Sarah Taylor
I LIKE YOUR WORKS,KEEP UP THE GREAT WORKS. EXCELLENT .
Joshua,
brother, I love the work - good BAIT.
to God the glory...
Mr. Vigil, we purchased two of your pieces in 2006. You were very kind to spend time with us in both 2006 and 2007. We will continue to enjoy your pieces and share them with friends and family for years to come.
Hey-Bruce is my brother and I just want you all to know his family is very proud of the man and artist he has become. He is very caring, he calls daily to check on mom. Its nice to know he's done so well doing work that is so moving/spiritual and being able to love what you do everyday. He is truely blessed. Love you Bruce your little sis Michelle.
Really nice work, Josh. Thanks for sharing it with us.
I especially like the Union Stela.
Many dreams and visions hidden in there.
I hope you're well.
Come visit us in Santa Fe soon.
-Gregory (from OZ school)
This colletion is GREAT! Is there no Title to any of the art?
One of my most favorite artist in all the world, hoping someday to own a piece. My favorite ones are ethereal and using soft colors in the green plate. Ow I just most all.
Hope to meet you at your next opening.
Preston has brought the 21st century into native art - spectacular! Would he consider teaching?
Wonderful work. Technical expertise combined with a sense of whimsy are a winning combination in my book.
When I viewed the video clips of my neighbor Deborah Rael-Buckley on this site, I was struck by all that her art form demands of her. The physicality of her whole body as she moves around her creation, bending over it, molding it, her arms and hands building, layering, and smoothing it; a disciplined technical skill required to control what could be a run-away process; a mental and spiritual concentration exacted to “gather the images” from memory and even from what has been forgotten; and a keen presence to be at one with what is becoming in her studio: all signs of a master ceramicist.
When I first stepped into Deborah’s studio a few years ago, I stood before a ceramic sculpture in tribute to her father-in-law who had died from cancer, as my father recently had. Her sculpture held memories and symbols so powerfully present and real in all of their dimensions, that all I could manage to do, was to turn around and walk back home accompanied by my father, remembering him again, and how much I had loved him and still do.
Gracias Deborah!
Joshua
Thank you for sharing your art work. May you always give glory to God in painting the wonders of His creation.
Fr. Dennis
Don't know any contemporary artist that makes work of such sublime beauty and ideas and humor at once. I love it.
Josh,
Your work continues to grow & grow. I am excited to see what is next. I truely enjoy you and your talent!
You Rock!
This moves me. It really connects with me.
I am amazed by the depth of meaning within the pieces that Deborah Rael-Buckley creates. She creates these sculptures that are life sized without any internal support system. They have so many hiddent meanings that relate to her background, New Mexico culture and life in general. They are incredibly rich and beautiful. The colors and shapes make them unique on their own but there is this deeper message that lies beneath the surface that waits to be interpreted. I happen to be an owner and and am always surprised at the reaction generated when people encounter Deborah's art for the first time. Once people get beyond the sheer beauty of the sculpture they ask numerous questions about the symbolism incorporated within the piece. She is able to mesh earthy beauty with commentary on life.
Father and Son -- Simply stated, Genius!
In 1994, a young 27 year old female was awarded "The Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts" to include "The Allan Houser Memorial Award". I would think that she was the "youngest" to receive such a high honor. This artist that I am speaking of is, Cheryl Joe, an absolutely excellent sculptor! I wish you all the best for also winning such a high honor. Congratulations!
CONGRATULATIONS, TAMMY!
This most deserved recognition could not come too soon.
We love your work so much - THANK YOU.
Stew and Maryann Matthews

This is terrific news. Scott and I have been long time members of SWAIA and really appreciate your doing this.
Traditional designs, interpreted in a contemporary way is what draws me to Tammy and Preston's work!
Just searching on the internet and found my name and comment in your blog....how amazing. I'm looking forward to be able to afford an other piece of art from you.
I was doing a paper on fine arts and culture for my anthropology class; I reaserched you and your artwork. I was glad i was albe to share with my class your beautiul new peices. All my love.
Fantastic show Tammy! The glass was breathtaking!
I loved the Raven piece that was on the cover of the Smithsonian magazine (I think) . Is that piece available? I'm sure I couldn't afford it, but I like to dream about owning it!!!
Beautiful video.
Fantastic work cousin!
Amazing, quite beyond anything that I have seen.....
Beyond words really.
i never know about you until i had to study you work for my art class. but now that i am familiar with your work you really inspire me.
you rock
wow
hi
Wonderful work, so much to see, and wry commentary...I look forward to seeing more of his work!
Beautiful work, looked like it went by really smooth. I am impressessed that the younger generation is getting back into glass work. It requiers lots of patients, some artists are not ready to handle.
These pieces are outstanding. I hope in the future to buy at least one.
Very beautiful work. It has some of the charactristics of a self-taught artist but the style is very personal because of the subject matter, but the landscapes are very sophisticated. Wonderful execution.
Whoo Hoo...............
This is truely powerful work. I enjoy the symbolism involved as well as the composition. Gerald, you are very talented.
i love ur work
hey rodney what it do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOUR JEWELRY!!!!!!!!!!!!
make me a pair just kidding. well c u l8ter brother oh wait wait my mom said hello and bye...........
Inspiring and beautiful! Can't wait to get to Taso next month and see more in person. We'd love to see more videos like this of all the artists at work. Thanks!
We found this art and video very interesting and the music accompanied the process well. We'd like to see more of this and Tony A. is inspiring to watch. The art is symmetrical and the video brings that out in Tony's organic methods while being relaxing to watch. It would be great to hear Abeyta speak about his art too. Miss the gallery in Taos, you don't know till it's gone...
Way cool!!!!
Mateo had some wonderful things in a show on war in Santa Fe. Why don't you carry more contemporary imaging of his? I found it to be a nice alternative to traditional (and expected) native themes.
Congratulations on being included in Southwest Art's top 10 artist to watch in 2008. Your vibrant colors and thoughtful compositions bring joy to all who see your art.
Being true to your spirit always brings rewards beyond our wildest imaginations. We are so proud and happy for you!
It is great to see the contemporary power of your work. You color is strong and exciting; your design is inventive. I particularly enjoyed the butterfly series.
It's great to see contemporary work like this! Wonderful!
I remember your amazing studio in Taos, where I interviewed you for Tempo. You were working more on monotypes then, so it's nice to see your paintings also. I interviewed so many artists when I lived in Taos, and many of them have blended together in a blur, but I have always remembered your work. Mary
Finally! A young artist has a maturity of a master painter! The artworks a very nice to look at and examine. Thank you!
Your paintings are wonderful to see! Thank goodness you include the other beings that share Mother Earth with us. That is so cool!
Your paintings are very beautiful and must have a personal meaning behind them all. It must take alot of thought, im guessing you probebly stare at a blank wall at church, and the picture flows threw your mind. Thats what helps me paint.
You're still an amazing painter -- as I remember you years ago when I lived in Taos. Just thought about you today out of the blue. Carol
wooow !!! I loooove your work !!! keep it coming !! As a fellow artist I appreciate your ability to be open enough to allow the subconscious to flow in you .!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!
I love your beautiful artwork! My family and I were so happy when we got to get a tour of your art studio and met the other people that helps you out! Knowing how much time and effort that you spend to make each piece special makes me appreciate you even more. Keep up the great work!
We love our Tammy Garcia piece and it was a great pleasure to meet her this past August. She is amazingly creative and seems to have a feel for many different media which is unique. We hope and trust that she will continue to stretch her talent to places only she can determine. Keep up the great work, Tammy!
We have enjoyed our Mardi Gras bronze piece so much and would love to have one of these beautiful glass pieces. The nation is lucky to have such a great artist creating such a treasure. Thank you.
I discovered Tammy's work on a recent trip to Sante Fe. The precision is remarkable. How she can transform her mind's eye into the material's available is the talent of a true genius, but first and foremost, it must be in her mind.
Art is in the minds of the artist and the beholder. She is doing her part.
may god bless your hands and your beautiful gift. your work makes life even more pleasurable.
Dear Tony--
Happy Birthday! keep making your wonderful art that touches the depths of our spirits and gratitudes.
Ken Goodhue-McWilliams
Have visited both of your galleries often with my friend Jeanne Williams; they have a home in Taos. We shall be looking forward to seeing you at SOFA! The video is very well presented. It would be great if you could add a verbal description of him/his work (although the music is pleasant). Will he be demonstrating At SOFA? Thanks
wonderful!!! good to see another type of native artist other than what we are so used to seeing. iam native but modern! thanks devin
Thank you for sending me this information. It looks fresh and exciting.
Hey Ben
I just happened to look you up online, and to my surprise, there you were!! Your artwork is beautiful as always, I love it!!

Conrad Bobiwash
Leroy & Co: Great news! I've been traveling to visit and purchase from Blue Rain in Taos and Santa Fe...it will be great to see your team at SOFA. Warning -- it's cold up here in November! Bring your mittens....
Mr.Tony Abeyta,you are the best!!!!
The new gallery space is beautiful. We couldn't get enough of it during Indian Market. Thanks also for a great Indian Market show ... the art, the glass and patina demonstrations and, of course, the staff make it one of our favorite annual events. You never let us down.
All our best wishes.
Beautiful pieces, Cavan, with deep spiritual significance, I am sure. I am honored to have taught you at SCIS. I will watch for your pieces in museums.
Wallace is a amazing artist and wish you had more works available.
Thanks,George
Your pottery is amazing! The best I have seen anywhere. You are an absolute genius. Keep up the good work!
Dear Mr Tony Abeyta, I Don't know if you remember who I am.I was fortunate enough to meet you for the first time at the Blue Rain Gallery during the 2006 Indian Market.All I want to say is thank you for taking the time to tell me about your work and for the tremendous amount of inspiration you have given me.Once again thank you very much
Wonderful! I am Jennifer Esperanza's Mother and have her photo of Tony holding one of his paintings while walking on its site. I love the photo and the this video brings Tony's work to life. Hoping to see some of the work in on my next trip to New Mexico.... thanks for the experience. CD
Your work is world class.
Enjoyable glimpse!
this video really makes me inspired, thanks for sharing!
I just love your work Tammy! I can't wait for Indian Market this year.
This blog is an unexpected pleasure and rich opportunity to get to know the exceptional artists of New Mexico, our adopted home and dream come true. Art and history are the foundations of this remarkable celebration of life that we now call home . . . and we are grateful for the rich blessings that the Blue Rain Gallery provides.
Ms. York, thank you for your sumptous contribution to our world.
As I sat and watched this video of Tammy and Star Liana York I could just imagine how much Wally would have loved this piece of art.
Thank you for keeping me on your e-mail list, Tammy.
Anita J. Lange (E. Walter Lange)
Wow!
I love your work! The horses and bears are my very favorites! I am a teacher in West Virginia. I visited Blue Rain Gallery when my family and I took a vacation out West last August. I fell in love with some of the art work being displayed in the Blue Rain Gallery.
I hope I can see your work "up close and personal"
the next time I visit Santa Fe!
God has richly blessed you with your creative gift.
I will pray that He continues to bless you.
You are blessing us with your fabulous talent.
Thank you so much-
Kris Hinrichs :)
Thank you! That was so enjoyable! Its a pleasure to hear the artist talk and explain her work.
Hello,
I so love your work and find the suggestive qualities are very intriguing. Creating art
from an inner source and dialogue is very exciting for the viewer and especially the
artist.
Karen
A wonderful beginning. Our home is full of works of art because we value creativity. Thanks for opening a window on this wonderful human endeavor.
Great beginning! How about some interviews?
Wow! Thank you! In a future edition I hope you will include comments from the artists.
Thanks for a glimpse of what most of us do not get to see...love to see you expand this idea...keep up the good work.
Thanks
Tim
Wow, Leroy. That was cool. That was a real good piece, very emotional and super beautiful - it was good to see them in their studios like that. The blogs are cool, it really makes one feel a part of it.
Hope your well, and hello to Tammy and your family.
Your former employee,
Lisa Chase
Well done, good beginning. I would like to see a longer presentation with some comments by the artists themselves.
the idea of watching an artist work online sounds very cool to
me - hope your blog efforts continue.
Leroy:
The blog is a great idea. Sorry we will still be in Arizona for your big weekend. Congratulations.
Richard & Doris
Eager to visit the studios of the excellent artists you represent.
great idea very innovative looking foward to the tour and the works
Dear Tammy, Leroy and the Staff at Blue Rain Gallery,
Now that the dust has settled, we would like to recognize what a great honor it was to host the patina demonstration at your gallery during Indian Market, 2006. It was a pleasure to get to know some of the collectors and share with them our enthusiasm in achieving the highest level of quality we are capable of attaining in the art market today.
The Staff at Bronzesmith
Congratulations Blue Rain Gallery and all of the artists on a successful Indian market! The work was fantastic!
Jim and Christen Vogel
I do wish that galleries and museums would stop assuming that everyone who buys art is a "collector." Many occasional buyers of art (my wife and I included) buy what we see thatt we like and can afford at the time. To buy is not necessarily to "collect."
Thanks for the "4 points" on buying. Now...how about elaborating a bit on each. That would be great. For instance, What is the significance of the number of pieces the artist produces each year? What does one look for to see if a piece is well made? What do you mean by "pricing integrity"?
Thanks for the good blog.
BB
I love your website. I have only been to your galleries once, but I was able to visit both in Taos and Santa Fe. You have amazing art and the galleries are beautiful. Keep up the good work!
