The results are elegant, elongated, at times poignant figures which allude to the artist's life-long fascination with the grace, reserve, and radiance of the art of antiquity. Patricia Carlisle knew she would offer this level of quality and diversity when she opened her own business after years of directing other Santa Fe galleries. With a strong educational background and experience in fine art, museum studies, and exhibit design, she has been able to promote and display the artists' work effectively, and at the same time understand and identify with the artists' experience and challenges. Yet a strong intuitive nature collaborates with the highly organized business aspect of Carlisle's character. And this unwavering inner sense tells her the experience of enjoying art involves all the senses.
Flowers bloom in front of the gallery in season, and fresh cut flowers appear inside every day.
Scented candles, and in cool weather, flickering warmth from the fireplaces and hot tea greet visitors every day. In such an environment, the viewer is pleasurably open to the full beauty and impact of the art.
