Fuller Lodge Art Center, Los Alamos, NM
High in the Jemez Mountains to the west of Santa Fe, the Fuller Lodge was designed by famed architect John Gaw Meem and was built in 1928 as one of the main structures at the Los Alamos Ranch School. The area was taken over by the government in the early 1940's and was a major focal point of the top secret Manhattan Project that built the atomic bomb during World War II. The Fuller Lodge is now a community center and houses the Art Center Gallery Shop which features paintings, photography and jewelry by some of the top artists in New Mexico. It has some beautiful gardens, walks and plantings. I am also pleased to say that the Gallery has a good selection of my work. If you are ever in Los Alamos, do drop by the Fuller Lodge Gallery for a look around.

Gifted Hands Gallery, Madrid, NM
Madrid, New Mexico is an interesting stop on Highway 14, the "Turquoise Trail". The Turquoise Trail is the scenic route from Albuquerque to Santa Fe, much beloved by touring motorcyclists, photographers, and any lover of open space and interesting things. The Turquoise Trail starts out north from the Cedar Crest/Tijeras turnoff on Interstate 40 about six miles east of Albuquerque. Madrid, which is about 15 miles north of Cedar Crest, is an historic old coal mining town and a very busy artist and Gallery colony. In Madrid, the Gifted Hands Gallery is on the west side of the road, just north of the iconic "Mine Shack Bar and Grill". The Gifted Hands Gallery, run by the charming Catasha, features Bruce Moffitt's work along with other outstanding local and regional artists.

In Santa Fe, on the east side of Galisteo Street just south of the Plaza, is Lorreen's International Emporium. Lorreen has a good collection of Bruce Moffitt's jewelry, along with works by other local artisans and native New Mexican jewelry from Santa Domingo Pueblo. Lorreen also has an amazing and eclectic selection of costume, glitter, pop and high modern jewelry. Lorreen's is a great place to pick up an interesting blouse or skirt, or an flashy accessory to go with your new piece of jewelry. Lorreen's is right in the middle of the Santa Fe action, and a great place for a creative browse when you happen to be in Santa Fe.

Midtown Emporium, Ruidoso, NM,
Downtown on the East side of the road at 2415 Sudderth Blvd is Bill and Cindy Kellerman's Midtown Emporium. The Emporium has a large and eclectic collection of Western items, interesting clothing and regional art. It also has a fine selection of Bruce Moffitt's jewelry. It is a spacious store and a great place for an afternoon's stroll. Outside in the ample front patio,a rarity around those parts, are several tables one can rest at, and food vendors for that afternoon bit of hunger. A fine place to relax and take in the passer-bys. If you drop in to see my jewelry, be sure to tell the Kellerman's hello.

Taos Art Museum and Fechin House
In Taos, New Mexico, the Taos Art Gallery is located in the Nicolai Fechin House at 227 Paseo del Pueblo Norte, on the east side of the street a short walk north of the plaza. The Fechin House is an extremely interesting example of early Taos architecture and houses an impressive collection of paintings by the masters of the Taos Society of Artists. This group was active from 1898 through the 1930's and laid the foundation for Taos to become the great art center it is today.
The gift shop is located in Nicolai Fechin's studio, and presents treasures that relate to the collection, from Russian Icons to art prints and reproductions. It also has related books and exceptional jewelry crafted by artists from Taos and Northern New Mexico, including works by silversmith Bruce Moffitt. To enhance your Taos experience, you can also stay right on the grounds of the museum at the elegant Fechin Inn.
