As you may have seen in my story, I am moving my studio. It has been quite a journey here in Santa Fe as a gallery owner AND a jewelry designer AND a mother AND a teacher AND a consultant. First and foremost I am and always will be a mother. My other forever occupation is artist + jewelry designer aka goldsmith. I will also always be a teacher and I enjoy consulting artists and galleries, which comes and goes.

I am choosing to leave behind the gallery aspect of my business that I cultivated here in Santa Fe. The marketing, time, and availability aspect of it are too much on top of my other priorities. I LOVED meeting all of you and curating the space (3 times), but to build it back up again after this past, very challenging year, is not in me. I have mentioned in other posts on my jewelry page that I need quiet alone time to create. What I realized after my travels east for a retail show last weekend is that I like selling I just can’t mix it with making. I am mostly a wholesale business with loyalties to my retailers near and far. I feel that a retail show and an artist trunk show at my retailers locations are the best places for me to interface with the public. I will participate in the Open Studios at my new location as well, schedule permitting.

I would like to take moment to promote my local retail partner Blue Rain Gallery in the railyard. I am very honored to be partnering with this incredible gallery. They currently feature a large selection of my work and I am available to meet with you there and can bring a special selection of pieces to meet your needs in a beautiful gallery setting. It is truly one of the stand out galleries in our city, a present day treasure trove of talent, in all forms.

If you are interested in contacting me about any of the artists’ work I have shown in the past please reach out so I can connect you with the artists or their current representatives in New Mexico.

I will make two more posts before closing this page to direct you specifically to where you can find me, and my jewelry, in SFe.

Thank you for your support of R+F 🙏
