MARGARETE BAGSHAW was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1964. She is the daughter of artist Helen Hardin and granddaughter of artist Pablita Velarde. Together, they form one of the only three generational female painting dynasties known. Their work is now shown together exclusively and permanently at Golden Dawn Gallery in Santa Fe. Margarete grew up in New Mexico and lived most of her life between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. While at the side of both her mother – Helen Hardin and grandmother – Pablita Velarde, for most of her life, Margarete did not start to create her own artwork until 1991 when she first showed her work at the New Mexico Arts and Crafts Fair. Her drawings started to gain notice and she began entering her work in “blind” juried shows. Soon she moved to pastels and in the late 1990’s, she began working in oils. In 1995 Margarete began to show at Silver Sun Gallery on Canyon Rd. in Santa Fe (also the home to the “Helen Hardin Estate Gallery”). Margarete left Silver Sun and began showing at Blue Rain Gallery, (Taos) in 1999. In 2003 Margarete was invited to show at Ventana Fine Art on Canyon Rd. in Santa Fe.

In 2006, after settling her grandmother’s estate, she moved to the U.S. Virgin Islands. Margarete lived in the Virgin Islands for almost 3 years (2006 – 2009). While in the Virgin Islands, she was a founding partner and co-builder of ISW Studios – a world-class recording and multi-media studio in St. Thomas, USVI. Margarete was responsible for all design elements of the studio project during construction, and was in charge of all administrative functions of all of the ISW family of businesses. Through 2006, 2007 sand 2008, Margarete continued to paint two- dimensional works that were shipped back to her gallery in New Mexico. In 2009, Margarete decided to return to clay work – something she had not done since her school days – almost 25 years earlier. These clay pieces are flat tablets as well as three-dimensional works of clay – abstract, non-symmetrical bowls and vessels. These clay pieces were all incised with the intricate designs that Margarete is recognized for, and then after firing, painted with oil paint. In August of 2009, Margarete opened her own gallery featuring the work of herself, her mother and her grand mother.


Throughout her 20-year career she has been known for her use of color, composition and texture – with all of the mediums she has worked in. Margarete has been featured in many publications including but not limited to: “Santa Fean” magazine, “Southwest Art” magazine, “Native Peoples” magazine, and the “New Mexico Magazine”. Margarete has taken part in over a dozen major museum exhibitions, including: the Eiteljorge Museum Of American and Western Art in Indianapolis, IN, the Wheelwright Museum, Santa Fe, NM, the Hamden Museum in Virginia, and numerous invitational shows with the Museum of Albuquerque, NM. In 1996, she gave a personal slide presentation at the Te Papa Tongarewa Museum of New Zealand. As the subject of a documentary film project, Margarete spoke at the dedication ceremony for the donation of “The White Collection” (featuring a number of Margarete’s works), at the Lakeview Museum in Illinois in September of 2008. In March of 2010, Margarete was invited to present a “One Woman Show” at the SMOKI Museum in Prescott, Arizona. Margarete is part of the “Vantage Point” show at the Smithsonian N.M.A.I. in Washington DC, and she was invited to lecture at the Smithsonian in March 2011 for “Women In History Month.” After showing and painting in the Virgin Islands for the last 3 years, she is now back at home in New Mexico, and has opened Golden Dawn Gallery, named after the English translation of her grandmother’s Tewa Indian name - “Tse Tsan” (Golden Dawn).

Margarete now primarily paints two-dimensional works on canvas and board panels, and her paintings are colorful combinations of shape, texture, and light. Her work is an expression of the spirituality that the creation of art is all about for Margarete. The intricate and detailed multi- compositional aspect of her images reveals the many layers of thought that all of her work contains. From small works to larger canvases – all include complex compositions that hold their own individually throughout each painting and as well as in a single complex composition as a whole.

As time goes by, artists develop their talent and perfect their skills through their creations.  Many of the top artists that you see today have exhibited their artwork in the New Mexico Arts & Crafts Fair. Some of the finest New Mexico resident arts and crafts artisans started their careers at the Fair. Out 50 Annual Fairs have encouraged our artisans to grow and flourish through the years.

Our 50 Art Fairs are being celebrated with a "Treasures in Time" Keynote Exhibit.  This year, we selected over 50 past artisans to show one of their early artworks as well as a current piece.  It is important to recognize their artwork through the years and experience a display of their works.

View the next generation of New Mexico artists!  The Youth Exhibit is designed to encourage students to become actively involved in the arts and has evolved into a major show for students all over New Mexico. The Youth Exhibit has grown from 200 entries to over 1000 entries.  Pre-school through high school are invited to participate.

Artwork is independently judged by highly respected and successful New Mexico Artists. All participants receive a participation ribbon and our Youth Awards Program, generously supported by our Artists and Community, provides award ribbons and cash awards.

Elisa Patterson is our 2011 Youth Director.  She has spent countless volunteer hours coordinating the Fair's Youth Exhibit.  We would like to recognize her efforts for keeping this exhibit of youth arts alive in our fair this year.

After graduating from the University of New Hampshire in 1987, Andrade achieved national recognition as an award-winning textile and clothing designer with a passion for surface design. Her work has been featured in Ornament, Fiberarts, The Fiberarts Book of Wearable Design, The Surface Design Journal, and American Style Magazine. As well as lecturing and serving as a jury selection member for the NMACF and the Southwest Arts Festival, she has exhibited at the prestigious Smithsonian Craft Show, the Philadelphia Museum Arts and Craft Show, Atelier, the American Craft Council Shows, and the NMACF. Her mixed media paintings have been included in exhibits at the Albuquerque Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts in Santa Fe, Mariposa Gallery in Albuquerque, Patina Gallery, Santa Fe, and internationally in Kuwait City, Kuwait.


MICHAEL ORGEL creates artwork that derives from a strong background in human anatomy and lifelong study of organic form. While his sculpture is not always suggestive of the human figure, it invariably has anthropomorphic aspiration, and many of his sculptural ideas have originated from objects found in nature to which he gives a human quality. He uses stone to carve the long flowing curves with strong edges and negative space, often characteristic of his work. Rough to smooth finishing of the carved work is also an integral part of his process, which allows him to give the final stone surface a glowing luster that adds a tactile dimension and invites touching. Orgel has twelve years of academic experience at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, which thoroughly shaped his twenty-five year practice in plastic surgery. His interests in sculpture predated, and proceeded concurrently with his medical practice, and these parallel vocations benefited from a frequent cross-over of ideas, and a long apprenticeship in sculptural aspects of the human body. In 1996 he decided to devote his full energies to his sculpture career.
 

LOUISE PERKINSON has dedicated her artistic life to creating wearable objects of art. She first became interested in the design and creation of jewelry as a Fine Arts student at the University of New Mexico. She and her husband, painter Tom Perkinson, both exhibited in the NMACF during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. In the early 2000s, their daughter Sara Rose also exhibited her paintings at the NMACF. Perkinson passionately works with sterling silver, 18K yellow gold and gems. She fabricates her jewelry by hand; it is uniquely contemporary but often influenced by ethnic and native aesthetics, a direct result of living in New Mexico. She has served as juror for the Southwest Arts Festival, and has exhibited at the Millicent Rodgers Museum in Taos, the Philbrook Museum in Tulsa, the Albuquerque Museum, Magnifico!, and at national juried craft shows in Baltimore, Dallas, St. Paul, and Ann Arbor. She’s also exhibited her jewelry at galleries in California, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, New York and Pennsylvania. Her newest work can be seen at Mariposa Gallery, in Albuquerque, and Palace Jewelers at Manitou Gallery, in Santa Fe.

VERA RUSSELL has been drawing and painting all of her life. With encouragement from her teachers she began exhibiting her work in the early seventies. Since then, she has taken lessons and exhibited her work wherever her Navy husband’s career took them. This included Hawaii, California, Virginia, South Carolina, Scotland and Spain, so she has collectors all over the world. When the family settled in Albuquerque, she bought a ceramic business and taught classes. While operating a gallery and the wholesale pottery business for several years, she continued to take lessons, painted, and tried her hand at stone sculpture. She paints predominantly in a realistic style in oils and recently began using pastels. In both still life and landscapes, she tries to capture the special moment when light illuminates the New Mexico grass, or how the shadow gently follows a curve around a pot or pitcher. In essence she tries to capture the ordinary scenes in a special moment. She has a special affinity for water, ocean, lakes, rivers, from all the years they lived on the coasts. She has exhibited regularly at New Mexico Arts and Crafts Fair, Masterworks, Encantada, Expo New Mexico, Amapola Gallery in Old Town Albuquerque, Gabriel’s Gallery in Santa Fe and other local shows.

CHRIS SPANOVICH has supported herself as a self-taught, full-time clay artist since 1976. Spanovich's work can be found in several permanent collections including the Arizona State University Art Museum, The Roswell Art Museum, The Museum of Fine Art in Boston, and the Wustum Museum of Arts in Racine, WI. She has also exhibited internationally in New Zealand, Australia, and Japan and has been awarded five National Endowment for the Arts "Artist-in-Schools" grants. She was assigned to the New Mexico School for the Visually Handicapped in Alamogordo, NM, where two of her projects included a one-and-a-half ton clay mural and a playground designed for and with the residents. Currently she is stretching into new realms of possibilities as she enjoys combining various materials with clay to create mixed-media work. She lives on a beautiful piece of land in the high desert mountains of northern New Mexico. And by traveling to more countries than she is years old, she gathers knowledge and inspiration with each boarder crossing. She wants to use time well and be all that she can in whatever years are left to her, as she strives to be awake and to pay attention.

Again, in 2011, the fair presented numerous Artist Demonstrations during the fair hours. These were wonderful opportunities for patrons to observe, first hand, artists at work and to view their technique.

The NMACF Board of Directors, Volunteers and the thousands of artists who have participated
in the Fair over the years would like to thank our friends for their support.

 

We thank all of the 2010 volunteers for their help with this year's Fair!

For 50 years, hundreds of volunteers have played a special role at the New Mexico Arts & Crafts Fair.  They help operate the Information, Raffles, and Sales Booth; act as gallery assistants with the Youth Fair; and assist the artists with hospitality and as booth-sitters.  Without the hard work of our volunteers, the Fair could not take place.  Volunteering is great fun!

Art, music, good friends ...
not a bad way to spend a weekend.

If you are interested in volunteering for future Fairs or at the office, please use the contact information below and let us know.

 

We would like to recognize two talented artists that passed away this year.

Robert "Bob" Le Blanc, Photographer, served as a NMACF Board Member, Standards Director, and exhibited for many years at New Mexico Arts and Crafts Fair.

Arthur J. Tatkoski, Sculptor, was one of the Founders of the New Mexico Arts and Crafts Fair.

They will be missed by all who knew and loved them.
