It's the last day to view Kat Kinnick's exhibition, Flowering Animals!

"The golden stuff is just what gets stirred up and brought up... being engaged in the process is so much more important than the product. For me, personally, it's always in the process."

New paintings from Martin Ferreyra. Skeletons holding hands, ghosts dancing, spirits embracing, monsters in good company. Born in Córdoba, Argentina and based in Etla, Oaxaca, Ferreyra is a self-taught artist and trained psychologist whose work pulls from the iconography of ancient Latin American cultures and resignifies it in his own visual language; closer in spirit to the Day of the Dead than to anything haunted. The dead are not gone, they are dancing.

It's the last weekend to view Kat Kinnick's solo show in its entirety! Flowering Animals closes May 31.

“I have a devotional desire to feel a part of nature,” Kinnick says. “When I need a north star to ground myself in the essence of art, I look to nature… the palette, texture and light.” For her, nature offers a space of quiet and belonging, where new life and growth blossom from decay. “I hope that my paintings bring broader conversations about environmental vulnerability and how those same violences are paralleled in our human world,” Kinnick says. “We are all interconnected and depend on all relations for a mutual well being.”

Three years running, you’ve voted us Best Gallery in Santa Fe, and we are TRULY grateful. We get to do this work because you keep showing up, looking closely, asking good questions, and occasionally taking something home. The artists make it worth pointing at. You make it worth keeping the lights on. We’re grateful, slightly stunned, and already plotting what’s next.

What we’re doing here has always been simple at the core, even when it’s hard to explain at a dinner party. We’re a gallery, yes, but really we’re a space for paying attention. We chase the work that feels alive and the artists whose practices we want to be in conversation with for years, not seasons. It turns out that when you make decisions from resonance instead of trend, the right people find their way in, and the room stays interesting.

Looking ahead, we’re leaning deeper into the relationships that got us here. More time with the artists we represent, more shows that ask something real of the work and the viewer, and more invitations for you to come sit with what’s on the walls. Santa Fe gave us our start and continues to be the ground we’re rooted in. From here we’re reaching outward too, toward collectors and conversations beyond the city, because the artists deserve that reach. Thanks again for seven years of this, and the three-peat on top. Onward.

Jaydan Moore's work in this show has been influenced by the book Memory: Histories, Theories, Debates edited by Susannah Radstone and Bill Schwarz, which explores how the value of memory has shifted throughout cultural history. "As I move through this book, I am thinking about the changing cultural significance of the silver plated platters I use in my work and how they have carried meaning for their previous owners," Moore says. "Over time, these objects act as symbols for personal and collective memories. Objects can’t talk and much of that meaning is lost when they are discarded or donated to secondhand shops." His work in this exhibition explores the different ways we attach memory to the heirlooms and everyday objects we keep in our homes, and how those meanings evolve or disappear as the objects change hands.

The very materials Moore uses to craft his works are steeped in memory. Many of the silver-plated platters are sourced from thrift stores, estate sales, and eBay, as well as a network of people who reach out to the artist to donate their families' platters and silver-plated items. "These objects hold a timeline of what metal and tableware has meant to our American society," Moore says. "My hope is that these pieces that are donated to me can live on in another life form through the work I make."

In the latest episode of our podcast “A Creative Excuse”, artist Jaydan Moore talks about working with heirlooms. That isn’t about nostalgia for him, it’s about a powerful act of humanity to deem something valuable, a significance in one’s life and then that object being passed on, changed, and altered.

Check out how Jaydan changes and alters heirlooms in his new show: Miscellanea on view through May 31st, 2026

Susan Elnora’s jewelry is restocked. Tiny skulls, buffalo, birds — little metal reminders to actually pay attention to your life. She calls the skulls memento mori, but the playful kind: remember you must die, so go live. Fresh work in the shop now.

Elements of craft from cultures around the world appear throughout the compositions, bridging the historical and the contemporary. Inspired in part by the visual logic of cinema, Kinnick constructs scenes that hover between psychic space and reality, merging the sensuality of daydreaming with diligent observation of the everyday, melding into a form of magical realism. Every blade of grass, and every strand of fur is rendered with an almost devotional care. This labor of regard imbues her paintings with a vitality palpable to the viewer. Her animals appear poised between innocence and experience, between nostalgia and anticipation. The paintings have a distinctly romantic sensibility, and evoke the mystery of a tender, alchemical encounter. Through Kinnick’s emotionally nuanced paintings, we are asked to see the world with renewed reverence, to recognize the beauty and fragility of what surrounds us.
