Tradition reports that luminarias, the little [...]

A little over a year ago, my business partner and I held our first art opening at our listing at 123 West Santa Fe Avenue. We knew a few artists without gallery representation in Santa Fe; I’d been the co-director of [...]

Some concepts are pretty tough to capture in words. Unless you’re talking about the music of Marvin Gaye or the immaterial essence said to survive a body, the notion of “soul” is a murky, often sentimentalized abstraction; e.g.: soul gaze, soul search, soul nature….
