Visiting Sculptor Roxanne Swentzell in Santa Fe, New Mexico

Thursday October 29, 2009

Many artists sequester themselves in their private studios or in impossible to find rural homes. If you can visit an artist in their studio, you will have a greater understanding of their art. Roxanne Swentzell is a talented, internationally known ceramist and sculptor. From her Tower Gallery at the Poeh Center just north of Santa Fe, New Mexico she creates marvelous works of art that may find homes in museums or in private collections.

I recently visited the Tower Gallery and watched Roxanne work on a huge sculpture commissioned by the new Convention Center in Santa Fe. You, too can visit the gallery and if you are lucky you will find Roxanne working away. It's a memorable experience to see the beautiful gallery, watch the video of Roxanne's life and see her art. While you are there, stop in and visit the Poeh Museum for a better understanding of the Pueblo people and their art. More on visiting Roxanne Swentzell and the Tower Gallery.
