THE SPIRALS OF LIFE, THE JOURNEYS OF THE HEART, AND THE DEEP DESIRE TO HONOR OUR CREATIVE SPIRITS; THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT HAVE BROUGHT US HERE, TO OPEN A HOME FOR OUR ART.... BELLA MUNDI GALLERY, OUR 'BEAUTIFUL WORLD' IN ARROYO SECO, NEW MEXICO - LOCATED BETWEEN TAOS AND THE TAOS SKI VALLEY.

                           

OUR LITTLE GALLERY, ONCE REFERRED TO AS A "SHRINE", IS A REFLECTION OF BOTH OUR INNER TRAVELS AND OUR OUTWARD WANDERINGS IN THE WORLD.... INCLUDING FOURTEEN YEARS IN LATIN AMERICA.

 

THE POWERFUL INFLUENCE OF OUR YEARS SPENT LIVING IN MEXICO IS SHININGly manifest IN PASSIONATE HEARTS, VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE LUMINOUS PRINTS ON METAL, MEXICAN ANTIQUES, FOlk art, FRIDA KAHLO PORTRAITS PRINTED ON METAL, AND TIN NICHOS ALIVE WITH ORIGINAL ART.

 

following our TEN YEARS IN MEXICO, WE MOVED INTO THE ARMS OF CENTRAL AMERICA AND ARGENTINA. THESE PASSAGES were ULTIMATELY ABOUT THE RICHNESS OF THE INNER AND OUTER TRANSFORMATIONS EXPERIENCED WHILE LIVING IN FOREIGN LANDS, AND Led US EACH INTO EVER MORE PROFOUND DISCOVERIES OF OUR INDIVIDUAL CREATIVE ROADMAPS...THE PATHWAYS OF ART AND OF THE HEART. 

Evidence of these chartings will greet those who enter with open eyes and minds.

 

THESE TIMES of travel ALSO CARRIED US TOWARDS EVER NEW PERSPECTIVES REGARDING SPIRITUALITY, CULTURAL INFLUENCES, AND WORLD RELIGIONS. upon entering our gallery ONE encounters a true meeting of the ways in the presence of BUDDHA, LAKSHMI, TARA, QUAN YIN, a MULTIUDE OF SAINTS and other sacred images, PRESENT IN A VARIETY OF FORMS. 

 

we have made our home in Taos, new mexico since 2010, and opened bella mundi gallery in June 2014. you can learn more about us and our work on the individual artist pages included. we look forward to seeing you here. whether you be Taoseno or just passing through, we would love to share our 'beautiful world' with you.

 

                     Sincerely,
