Kathryn Lund
Metalsmith, jeweler
I fabricate sterling and fine silver jewelry, where stones are the main feature, usually several stones. When the design calls for high karat gold I use 22K, usually for the bezel setting.
Jess Wayne
Jess Wayne has risen swiftly among a new generation of singer songwriters that bring full consequential lives and experiences to their music. Grounded in the roots and breadth of Americana, Jess transcends musical boundaries
TJ Mabrey

Primary medium is marble. Subject: Seeds and Pods. Sculpture installation in paper and mixed media.
Kirk Buchanan
Artist & Author
Working mainly with oils on canvas, I enjoy painting landscapes and other inspiring scenery in the alla prima method with impasto techniques in the abstract impressionism style. That’s just a fancy way of saying that I paint what I feel, rather then just what I see. I subscribe to the belief that artistic selection can overrule reality, if done with careful thought and consideration.

The Taos Arts Council works to promote awareness, understanding and appreciation of all of the creative arts, literary, visual, textile, musical, performance etc. and to be an advocate for the artist/artisans and arts organizations in Taos County and Northern New Mexico.
About the Taos Arts Council
The Taos Arts Council was founded in 2012 with the vision to create a central hub in support of the Arts and Artists Community in Taos, Taos County and Northern New Mexico.
Towards that longstanding goal, the TAC has been actively working towards defining its positioning in relation with the other entities and initiatives currently in Taos — such as the Town of Taos, The Taos Business Consortium, Art Space, Mainstreet, Strong at Heart and similar such government or grassroots organizations.
The stated approach for the Taos Arts Council is to support all constructive dialogue and action between organizations and individuals that is mutually beneficial to all involved.

“Each person leaves a legacy–a single, small piece of herself, which makes richer each individual life and the collective life of humanity as a whole. But do not despair, for despair is a despicable and bourgeois affectation; we must not allow it. As for what happens next, well, as the Cuban poet Regino Pedroso once said, “como forjamos el hierro, forjaremos días nuevos”: as we hammer out iron, we shall hammer out new days.”
