Lori Colt 
My love for the American West started from a young age when my parents and I would drive and camp throughout the southwestern states. I was exposed and taught reverence for all things native: first nations, the geology, the plants and the animals. These early experiences informed my ethic, world view, and my art.Now, a storyteller with both the written word and mark making, I enjoy weaving unique tales and inspiration into each of my works. Often I will juxtapose humans into my paintings, creating quirky scenarios to add humor and inspire curiosity. It is my hope that my more serious pieces inspire reverence for our wild lands and beings.

Rosario Glezmir 
Rosario’s art is the expression of her soul, an expression that leads her to corners of light and darkness that were unknown to her, that were brought to the surface after she experienced life changes and experiences that took her out of her comfort zone.  After being conscious of these experiences, par of her work is related to resilience, valorization, and empowerment in women.
Her Mexican heritage and open appreciation of all techniques allow her to play with color and different materials that convey the emotions and thoughts that are displayed in her paintings.
She has participated in International Exhibits in Mexico, France, and USA. She works and lives in Santa Fe, NM.

Yolanda Howren Jones 
Yolanda Howren Jones is a New Mexican artist who currently resides with her husband in Rio Rancho, NM. Born on the Rosebud Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, her family relocated to Taos, NM, in 1968, which sparked her interest in art, and it was then that she was "bitten by the art bug!" Art has since been her passion and she is truly inspired by the enchanting Southwest.  This is where she finds the beauty and love to paint whimsical and nature-inspired subjects such as the historic adobe churches, crows, owls and other birds and farm animals, just to name a few.  Her work invites you into a world where imagination meets the magic of the Southwest. The medium she uses is mostly acrylic paint on canvas and wood, as well as watercolor and ink card sketches. 

Leslie Pino Durant
Leslie Pino Durant is a mixed media artist living in Placitas, New Mexico. She didn't pick up a paintbrush until her late 40s when she thought it might serve the need to calm her body and mind while she struggled with multiple sclerosis. What began as a sanctuary endeavor led to a love for learning, trying, failing, and wanting more.
She creates mixed media pieces first with collages, bright acrylic paint drips and marks, pencils, and stencils. Then, a session of staring, pondering, and ideas conjures up images that take shape in her mind rather than on the medium. The most exhilarating part of her process ends in sharing her finished creation. Most of her work is about strong women and beautiful flowers. "Mujeres y Flores" is actually what her first art show was titled.
She currently is the Social Media Specialist for the New Mexico Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts, supporting the mission of The National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC, and bringing recognition to the achievements of New Mexico women artists.  Her art has been featured on the cover of the International Journal of MS Care and in the 2020 - 2024 MSAA Art Showcases. She exhibits her work in group, online, and  juried shows across New Mexico, on social media, and in publications. 

Amanda Lawson
Amanda Lawson is a Choctaw artist living and working in New Mexico. Born in Oklahoma, her family moved between SE Colorado and Oklahoma. She attended Northeastern State University, for her BA in studio art. Afterwards, she cared for her mother in hospice and after her mother’s release from this life, Amanda worked in public health until 2020. She gratefully returned to her artwork full-time in 2021 after moving to New Mexico.

Vivienne Riggio
Vivienne was raised in a culture imbued with Catholicism, and Italian values including discipline, morality, and academia in her younger years. She had two older rambunctious sisters and a younger brother wary of familial energy. She herself was not an introvert but so shied away from the reaction of others that she took an obscure seat and observed, transforming those startling impressions into art forms. It has not changed much since.
Her artistic education started at a young age, as a self-taught fiber and craft artist. In her adult years, she grew as a fiber artist, apparel designer, and maker extraordinaire.
Exploring the 'new', new lands, cities, countries, and states, has always captivated her. As such, she chose work that brought her to Latin America, Asia, Canada, and the US, wherever she was needed. Her work involved advocating for the rights of marginalized workers in these regions and educating them about such, spending much of her time traveling in the outskirts of and within global metropolises.
These rich experiences filled her imagination with imagery that she now weaves into her sculptures, earthy, tangible, always calling upon her ancestors to guide, judge, and ensure authenticity is honored.
