For nearly five decades, Jane Abrams has lived & worked in the village of Los Ranchos, a quiet community nestled in the Rio Grande valley near Albuquerque, New Mexico. A lifetime of travels has seen Jane explore the globe, wandering through ancient ruins and jungles of Mexico and Central America and along riverbanks in India. Other journeys have taken her to the mountainous regions of China and Thailand, as well as to the Netherlands and Spain. She has also spent
countless hours walking the paths through the bosque along the Rio Grande, along acequias, desert spaces and familiar fields near her New Mexico home. The widely varied foliage of these diverse locales serves as her inspiration, empowering her to create richly detailed paintings of botanical subjects. Her imaginative paintings are often wild in their complexity, with an atmosphere of otherworldly locales.
Abrams’ mastery of her art has been widely recognized, with her work exhibited extensively in both gallery and museum settings.
A native of Pennsylvania, Ann Hosfeld has been a resident of Santa Fe since 1982. Her career as an artist began in earnest during her time at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York City in the 1960s, where she studied under a number of well-known Second Generation Abstract Expressionist painters. During her years in New York, Los Angeles and later in the high desert of New Mexico, she developed her own distinctive artistic style, finding inspiration in the organic forms of both tropical and desert plants. Photographs taken on her travels to Mexico and Morocco served as the impetus to create countless largescale paintings. Whether her art is exploring the abstracted patterns of light and shadow on a rainforest floor, portraying the gently swaying leaves of banana plants, or canvas-filling close-ups of desert agaves, her work conveys the serenity that comes from immersing yourself in the simple beauty of botanical forms.
