For the Artist

He can arrange and teach workshops in either oil or watercolor for small groups of four to six people. His workshops are en plein aire in the landscape of northern New Mexico and in Santa Fe. With every workshop, he combines his teaching and criticism with colorful commentary on the history, geology, flora and fauna, and culture of this unique area of the United States. David has twelve years of experience in teaching and can conduct a meaningful workshop for all levels of abilities. His most recent workshop was in Antigua and Lake Atitlan, Guatemala where he had seventeen artists for 12 days of watercolor work.

For the Art Collector

David has lived in Santa Fe for 12 years and has, in that time, become acquainted with many artists, private dealers, agents, and gallery owners. He has access to these folks and can arrange for viewings for the serious collectors of Southwestern Art, Spanish Colonial Folk Art, or Native American Art. With Santa Fe as the third largest art market in the United States, the variety, the depth, and quality are soon apparent to the buyers for their selections.

For the History Buff

David will plan for you an escorted itinerary to include the three cultures co-existing here in Santa Fe: Native American, Spanish Colonial, and 19th Century American. Each itinerary will be tailored to your interests, length of stay, and budget.

For Folk Art Devotees

This past summer of 2004, the Museum of International Folk Art held an extragavant affair featuring crafts artists from over the world. With this event, which will be repeated annually, our great museum told the rest of the world that Santa Fe is indeed the Folk Art Capital of the World. In addition to the Museum, there are dealers, shops, and markets dedicated to showing the best of folk art. David will plan an itinerary where you will experience the International Museum of Folk Art, studio visits to Santa Fe traditional craftspeople, and visit the galleries and boutiques featuring unique folk art from around the world. Serious collectors will be thrilled with the selection, especially in the Native American art and craft and the Spanish Colonial Traditional Crafts. Contemporary crafts can also be included on the itinerary to include visits to studios featuring ceramics, metalwork, weaving, and carving.

For the True Traveller

There is so much to see and do in Santa Fe, it is difficult for the first-time visitor to know what is available and how to plan for all there is to do. David can conceive of several itineraries for your consideration based on the information you supply him. He can tailor each day for maximum exposure to the city from starting with sopapillas for breakfast at Tia Sophia’s, then on to a bronze pouring at Santa Fe’s famous Shidoni Foundary, an afternoon visit to the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, and ending with a candlelight dinner on elk tenderloin at Geronimo’s. He will fill your day with exploring, shopping, museum ventures all toward getting the most from your Santa Fe experience.
