Magic of Santa Fe Snow: A Painter’s Dreamscape

Santa Fe has always held an undeniable magic, but when snow blankets the land, it transforms into something ethereal—otherworldly in its quiet grace.

The soft hush of snowfall mutes the world, making space for creativity to breathe. Each morning, I step into this dreamscape, walking through my new studio’s surroundings, feeling as if I’ve entered a living painting.

Nestled amidst this land, my studio is a haven warmed by the crackling wood stove, a sanctuary for inspiration. The snow clings to juniper branches, outlining nature’s own brushstrokes, while the sky shifts through endless hues—blues, silvers, the gold of a sun fighting through the clouds. These colors find their way into my work, guiding my latest abstract sunset painting series, “SkyDance,” with an energy that only winter’s hush can summon.

At the heart of my walks is the labyrinth, an earthen sculpture inspired by Chaco Canyon’s ancient sun dial. It lies beneath a delicate veil of snow, its spiral lines holding time, memory, and intention. Each step through it feels like an offering, a meditation in motion. Nature collaborates here—the snow accentuates the shape, reminding me how ancient wisdom and the elements forever weave together.

Soon, I will welcome my first private painting client into this sacred space. The warmth of the fire, the scent of pine and earth, and the enveloping quiet will provide the perfect cocoon for creation. This is what I’ve dreamed of—a place where art is not just made, but felt, absorbed, and lived.

If you’ve ever longed to step into this world, an invitation may be waiting for you. The snow has its own way of whispering, calling those who are meant to listen.
