deborah rael-buckley video blog | 06.04.2007
Deborah Rael-Buckley creates life-size chair and figure ceramic sculptures layered with meaning and rich symbolism. Each stoneware piece is coil built without the benefit of forms or armature. The sculptures feature branches, bones, ropes, writing, and symbols intertwined to create negative spaces and a play of light and shadow. The elements coalesce into commentary about culture, religion, and family.

At this wonderful time of the year, we often get an extensive number of people coming to the gallery asking for Jim Vogel's colorful and expressive paintings of rural New Mexico folklore, culture and scenery. We are often asked why his paintings sell so quickly, how they can get a hold of one and why he uses the "big hands."
blue rain gallery "expansion beyond indian art" | 04.26.2006
Question: Why has Blue Rain Gallery expanded beyond Indian Art?
A question I often get asked is "I thought Blue Rain Gallery was a gallery featuring only Native American art; why did the gallery start carrying non-Native American Art?" This is an honest-to-good observational question that I love to engage in. There are many answers to this question.

Beyond words really.
tree Says...
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.

Whoo Hoo...............
Mary Martin Says...
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!
Mark Barlos Says...
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...
Rick Lentz Says...
Way cool!!!!
Robert A. Goldstein Says...
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!
Cyndy Copeland Says...
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.
Earl Stubbs Says...
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.
Harvian (Bunny) Raasch-Hooten Says...
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
