After living the Bohemian life for over two decades, moving from place to place (as soon as she finished decorating them!) with her now grown daughter in tow, Stacy hardly imagined she'd finally end up in a house that has everything she loves about Taos and then some! Her decision to buy comes after years of debilitating illness that forced her to stop painting for a long time. Stacy has created living, gallery and studio space in her rambling adobe hacienda, which is blessed with both an enclosed courtyard and back garden. Because she works in so many mediums, she's set up a painting studio in an addition, that's also her office and guest quarters, as well as a clay studio in a sunny, front room that opens onto the garden. Once she is completely done with moving and unpacking I'll return to capture more of the art and the artist at work. Today I'm showing you little details from the clay studio.

Stacy sounds like such an interesting person. I don't know why but these pictures remind me a bit of some typical Joburg houses, maybe it's the dry winter grass and that chair. Have a fab weekend:)
She's great, very cool person. Very much like Joburg - the land around here reminds me of both the highveld and the Karoo. We are high (about 700 ft higher than you) and also get fantastic storms in summer! perhaps that's why I'm here:)
you too!
Wow, there do seem to be some intriguing connections between us! I don't know where you're living, but I can recognize that style of home at a glance! -X
hi xander, i'm in taos, just up the rio a little from your old home town! yeah, small world!
That's so incredible! My (South African) boyfriend and I sometimes discuss moving to Taos for a year, partly so that I can spend time close to home, and partly so that he can experience the seasons. Your blog certainly makes that idea seem very tempting! -X
well keep in touch. the SA/New Mex connection is cool! very similar in some ways!
