fun local gift ideas ON THE COVER Roseta Santiago, Snow Pony, oil on archival board, 20 x 16" “This horse [in Snow Pony] belonged to my partner at the time I photographed it,” says artist Roseta Santiago. “I was mesmerized by the white on white and spots as he ran through the snow. I wondered then how I would ever paint it. ... [The scene] reminded me of a child playing in the snow—so sunny, crisp air, and total freedom. I will never forget it. The crisp air and white snow, with vivid shadows and clear light, are so indicative of Santa Fe. In this painting, just as in most of my paintings, I used many studies and then put them together visually to tell the story. The horse is my icon for life’s journey.” Roseta Santiago is represented by Blue Rain Gallery.
My good friend and Santa Fean subscriber Al Pons, after reading my Publisher’s Note in last year’s December/January issue, told his son how much he enjoyed my comments about skiing. My note and the stories featured in that issue took him back to his carefree days on the ski slopes and reminded him of the beauty of the Rocky Mountains when they’re cloaked in snow and set against dramatic cliffs and mountain peaks. Then in his 80s, Al went on to tell his son that he hadn’t thought about skiing for many years and that my note brought back all the memories of the joy he had once experienced. Two days later, Al passed away. Anyone who knew Al knows that, given the opportunity, he would have strapped on his skis and made one final run. We all have our own unique connection to and appreciation of winter in Santa Fe. Most Santa Feans daily gaze up toward the Sangre de Cristos and their white-capped peaks. We gauge a winter storm’s magnitude by the level on the mountain to which white snow has descended. I’m sure I’m not the only person who’s positioned their bed so that they can fully absorb the views of the snow-capped mountains with their head still on their pillow. It’s a captivating time of year as we all look forward to Santa Fe’s many winter events and the holiday season. Strolling up Canyon Road during the Christmas Eve Farolito Walk (Santa Fe’s most romantic holiday event), the lighting of the Plaza, the evergreen boughs hanging from downtown vigas, celebrating Las Posadas, and the Christmas Eve midnight Mass at the Basilica are just a few of Santa Fe’s cherished holiday traditions. At this time of year, it’s hard not to feel connected to the city and the season. May this winter in Santa Fe fill your heart with a connection to this magical place. May you also connect with someone special in your life and enjoy the charm of an adobe home adorned with snow and set against the backdrop of a snow-capped mountain. Like my friend Al Pons, make the most of every moment you can in our winter wonderland.

“I love Christmas in Santa Fe, especially watching the dances at the pueblos. Every December 12, I delight in the Matachines Dance at Jemez Pueblo. Every Christmas Eve, I decide which location I will enjoy that year. There are so many tempting choices. I watch dances at various pueblos up to January 7.” —Susan Topp Weber, author of Christmas in Santa Fe and owner of Susan’s Christmas Shop
“As an artist, I find wintertime in Santa Fe so inspiringly colorful and alive. I love to create paintings of snow scenes; when Santa Fe and the surrounding landscape sport a fresh layer of snow, they have an inspirational magic all their own. It evokes a quiet peacefulness. At a time when many other cities in the country have cloudy skies and bitter cold, Santa Fe seems to radiate a winter warmth and always inspires me with its magic, luminous vitality.” —Tom Perkinson, painter
“Santa Fe is one of the most beautiful cities to me, especially during Christmas. It’s magical, with the decorations and lights, crisp winter air, and sunsets on the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. I love the beautiful architecture and the many different restaurants, museums, and galleries. Santa Fe is a unique place to spend time.” —Miguel Martinez, painter

the buzz around town
holiday hot spot c e l e b r at i o n s
Winter in Santa Fe is a one-of-a kind experience, and the city’s lineup of holiday events is sure to make even the biggest Grinch’s heart grow three sizes. On December 13, Santa and Mrs. Claus stop by the 404-year-old Palace of the Governors building for free family fare featuring hot cider and live music. Two days later, the Plaza, decked out in eyepopping holiday decorations, hosts the annual Las Posadas procession, which allows visitors to join a candle-lit reenactment of Joseph and Mary’s search for lodging the night Jesus was born. A different kind of candlelight—farolitos—guides thousands of visitors along Canyon Road during the annual Christmas Eve Farolito Walk, known for fostering community spirit in addition to the bevy of carolers and free cocoa and cider along its route. In December and January, all eight of the Northern Indian Pueblos, which lie between Santa Fe and Colorado, hold ceremonial dances that are open to the public, including a Buffalo Dance at Nambé Pueblo and a Deer or Buffalo Dance at Taos Pueblo.—Phil Parker 22

nativity scenes
books Susan Topp Weber has been collecting nativities since 1965 and selling them at Susan’s Christmas Shop, her store just off the Plaza in downtown Santa Fe, since 1978, so it’s only fitting that she recently published a book spotlighting almost 100 of her favorite handmade items from across the globe. Nativities of the World begins with a look at the historical portrayal of Jesus in the manger (the first nativities may have been carved in Roman catacombs) and then takes readers through to the present day, covering depictions of the nativity in live events like the annual Las Posadas procession in downtown Santa Fe. Weber’s book features dozens of engaging images, including a nativity from Australia in which koalas stand in for Jesus, Joseph, and Mary, and a kangaroo, platypus, and wombat represent the Three Wise Men; a Slovakian nativity made from corn husks; a nativity brilliantly carved from tagua nuts; and one that’s made from all recycled metal. There’s even a nativity carved onto the head of a kitchen match.—PP

Santa Fe’s sartorial sense is as diverse as its residents, but if everyone here had to agree on a guiding principle, it would be that comfort is key. Santa Feans are equally at home in jeans or at the opera—and, frankly, those two categories often overlap. Comfort and couture are not mutually exclusive, and one need only look to the City Different’s selection of women’s clothing for proof. Origins (originssantafe.com, 505-988-2323) is the 35-yearold brainchild of Judy Margolis, whose take on globalism helped set the tone for the city’s aesthetic. “Our Santa Fe style was an eclectic mix based on the idea of the ancient trade routes,” she says, noting that early customers included actress Elizabeth Taylor and sculptor Louise Nevelson. Margolis carries pieces ranging from the homegrown (items by knitter Faith Welsh and jeweler Susan Green) to the far-flung (pieces from cooperatives in India, Thailand, Morocco, and Nepal). Depending on whether shoppers are in the market for microfiber travel pieces or a repurposed antique kimono, Margolis is passionate about educating them on “techniques, artists, [and] the dynamics of what we carry.” Rocki Gorman (rockigorman.com, 505-983-7833) designed her first piece of jewelry when she was seven years old. Her father was a turquoise miner who traded stones for jewelry with Navajo artisans in the 1960s, when he opened the first Native jewelry retailer in New Jersey. Now Gorman is carrying on the family tradition. Her eponymous shop in La Fonda on the Plaza

boasts not only her long-established Navajo-crafted jewelry line but also an array of natural-fiber clothing in bright solid colors. Her fashion philosophy is “Keep it simple, and let the jewelry do the talking.” In addition to offering custom leather and faux-fur vests she co-created with Crystal Rose, Gorman also carries Atenti bags and rock star–endorsed (see: Guns N’ Roses’ Slash) retro headgear by hat companies Voodoo and Steampunk. Eva Jackson, owner of Sign of the Pampered Maiden (505-9825948), likes to stock as much American-made clothing as possible. Cases in point: boho-chic separates by store staple Johnny Was, dresses by Florida-based Elana Kattan, and Santa Fe–designed knits by Bucko. “I try to be exclusive with our lines as much as possible,” Jackson says. Layering is always practical in New Mexico, but this winter it’s stylish, too. Jackson recommends tunics (loose or cinched with a contour belt) and long cardigans topping off printed leggings or the counterintuitively ingenious Jag pull-on jeans that keep silhouettes smooth under multiple layers. Layers are also integral to the approach to fashion at Homefrocks (homefrocks.com, 505-986-5800). “Really fancy clothing that it’s okay to lie around the house in” is how Nancy Traugott describes her line of luxury bohemian apparel. Traugott creates her pieces using machine-washable, all-natural fibers, hand-dyed in super-saturated colors that often reflect high desert surroundings: dusty sage greens, vibrant aspen yellows, and deep sky blues, to name a few. Raw edges and inside-out seams add texture and primitivism to what Traugott calls “deconstructed” pieces, which “must fit beautifully, so when a woman inhabits these clothes, she shows through.” Color, says Marisol Ojeda, is what draws customers to Peruvian Connection (peruvianconnection.com, 505-438-8198)—that and the quality of the brand. South American alpaca sweaters and pima cotton separates, for example, come in a range of subtle hues from eggplant and russet to olive and teal. The look is “all-natural,” she notes, explaining that her clientele prefers skirts to dresses and that “people go crazy for leggings here in Santa Fe.” One of a handful of brick-and-mortar locations of the Kansas-based retailer, Peruvian Connection has been in the City Different since 1994, and Ojeda has been its manager the entire time. “I still have sweaters from 19 years ago,” she says, “and I still have customers from 19 years ago.”

gemstones and other interchangeable design components in infinite ways. In recent years, German jewelry designer Wolf-Peter Schwarz has expanded Charlotte Fine Jewelry’s price point with fashion-forward ceramic pieces in white, brown, and black. “I’m always looking for creative ways to wear jewelry. It excites me, and our clients,” says Allison BuchsbaumBarnett, who, with her husband, artist Ivan Barnett, coowns Patina Gallery (patina-gallery.com). Patina is the exclusive representative for San Francisco–based artist Claire Kahn, whose luxurious crocheted necklaces of fine Japanese cylindrical glass beads can be twisted into many conformations and lengths. The work of Patina artists Iris Tsante and Kate Cusack reflects another imaginative movement in jewelry today: the use of ordinary items to create extraordinary wearable art. Tsante treats pencil nubs like beads, creating eye-catching statements “that make us explore how we think about beauty and value,” BuchsbaumBarnett says. Cusack draws on a background in costume design to transform zippers into necklaces and bracelets

innovative jewelry to instantly update your collection by Gussie Fauntleroy
One of the most inspiring RECENT trends in contemporary jewelry is actually a by-product of a dawdling economy: fabulous pieces that can be worn in multiple ways, stretching both dollars and fashion options. The Abiquiú-based husband-and-wife team of Studio Q Jewelry, represented by Tresa Vorenberg Goldsmiths (tvgoldsmiths.com), incorporates this concept in an elegantly variable version of the bolo tie. Their sterling silver “bolera” necklaces are accented with 22 karat gold and precious or semiprecious stones, and they have twin dangles perfectly weighted to allow symmetrical or asymmetrical positioning. The dangles, notes gallery associate Samaya Blaise, can be looped in various ways to create new looks. Also at Tresa Vorenberg, double-sided medallions by Heyoka show iconic Native American and other sacred imagery in flippable pendants. At Charlotte Fine Jewelry (charlotteshop.com), the many-in-one idea is the company’s cornerstone. “We specialize in interchangeable jewelry,” says co-owner Dorothee Maier. The patented system of rings, necklaces, and bracelets allows the wearer to continuously add layers of 32

of high craftsmanship and lovely flowing form. Valerie Jean Fairchild, lead designer and owner of Fairchild & Co. (fairchildjewelry.com), sees a growing interest in rare and unusual gemstones and materials among high-end jewelry collectors. Natural colored diamonds and sapphires and unusual stones such as paraiba tourmaline are valued not only for their extraordinary beauty but also for their increasing rarity, she notes. Designer Jan Ionescu employs modern and ancient stonesetting techniques, incorporating the richness of the past into a bold, contemporary style. Similarly, designs by Fairchild and others conjure uncommon allure in jewelry featuring ancient Greek, Roman, and Byzantine coins set in gold. Even with traditional materials, innovative methods of creating texture and unusual finishes add depth and sensuality to jewelry by such artists as Michael and Catherine Jensen, also at Fairchild & Co. Often combining silver and gold, the Jensens use a weathering technique to produce striking pieces with the look of archeological treasures. At Shiprock Santa Fe (shiprocksantafe.com), award-winning Kiowa/ Italian artist Keri Ataumbi makes delicate intaglio carvings of Native imagery in gemstones set in sterling silver or high-karat gold. Mexican-born Aaron Lopez Bautista, of Mixtec heritage, meticulously braids naturally tanned, hand-cut leather strips into intricate patterns for sought-after bracelets. And Glenda Loretto of Jemez Pueblo puts a contemporary spin on traditional jewelry methods by casting silver or gold in beeswax. The resulting honeycomb patterns are embellished with gold and stones, both precious and semiprecious.

here’s nothing like winter in Santa Fe. From the beauty of its snowcovered mountains to the charm of its farolitotopped homes and storefronts, the city draws locals and visitors outdoors when the weather turns cold, only to lure them back inside with the intoxicating scent of piñon wood burning in kiva fireplaces. Whether you live in town or are visiting—craving either a staycation or a vacation—you can experience the local winter wonders that make Santa Fe unforgettable this time of year. The area’s top resorts provide the ultimate indulgences—including access to New Mexico’s best skiing—that are all part of the perfect winter escape.

modations include spacious and elegantly outfitted luxury suites and beautiful casitas with kiva or full-size fireplaces and private patios. The resort offers a Santa Fe Ski Package, which includes complimentary daily lift tickets for two. (Guests staying in one of the Sunset or Summit suites also receive two children’s or teens’ lift passes.) After a day of hitting the slopes at Ski Santa Fe, just 13 miles away, let yourself unwind in Rancho Encantado’s top-notch spa, where treatments are influenced by the healing practices of Native American, Far Eastern, and other cultures. Regionally inspired offerings include the Mountain Spirit Purification treatment, featuring a sage smudge, an adobe clay body mask, and a hotstone juniper-sage massage among other indulgences, and the Blue Corn and Honey treatment, which uses Native blue corn to exfoliate desert-parched skin and wildflower honey to hydrate it.

unwind a bit further with a world-class dining experience amid breathtaking views at the resort’s AAA Four Diamond restaurant, Terra, where chef Andrew Cooper’s American cuisine pops with organic local ingredients and Southwestern influences. For more casual fare, head to The Bar and enjoy cocktails either indoors or on the heated outdoor terrace. If you’d prefer to dine in private, the resort offers 24-hour room service. Before turning in for the night, soak away stress in your deep soaking tub, and then curl up in front of the wood-burning kiva fireplace, which you can either fire up yourself or leave to the expert care of a fireplace butler. For distinctive and historical local charm coupled with high-end elegance, head to The Bishop’s Lodge Ranch Resort & Spa (bishopslodge.com), on 450 acres in the stunningly scenic Tesuque Valley. The former residence of Jean Baptiste Lamy, the Southwest Diocese’s first archbishop, the land was sold by the Catholic Church to the Pulitzer family in 1915, 27 years after Lamy’s death, and then bought in 1918 by Denver miner James R. Thorpe, who called the estate The Bishop’s Lodge. Today the resort, which offers two- and three-bedroom villas with wood-burning kiva fireplaces and private patios, is particularly popular for its horseback riding and hiking excursions 38

Lift tickets aren’t included in the package, but round-trip shuttle service to Ski Santa Fe, just 16 miles away, is available for $14. For deep relaxation and rejuvenation, it’s hard to beat Bishop’s Lodge’s award-winning SháNah Spa & Wellness Center, whose facilities include private outdoor massage gardens and an authentic Native American tepee for massage and meditation. The resort’s Las Fuentes Restaurant & Bar offers Continental American cuisine in a casual but upscale Southwestern ranch setting.

The Bavarian, which sits at 10,200 feet, offers ski-in/ski-out accommodations, and its restaurant, dominated by an authentic Bavarian tile stove (called a kachelofen), serves guests gourmet versions of hearty German fare. The restaurant’s heated deck allows for outdoor dining yearround, with breathtaking views of the snow-covered slopes. The Lodge at Angel Fire Resort (angelfireresort.com), about two hours north of Santa Fe, is just steps from the Chile Express chairlift, which offers views of Moreno Valley and Wheeler Peak.

A Stay & Ski package, which includes discounts on lift tickets, is available to guests staying at one of Angel Fire Resort’s homes or condos. Lodge accommodations are spacious (standard rooms begin at 500 square feet) and include suites. For a quintessential snow-season treat, take a scenic sleigh ride through Carson National Forest with Roadrunner Tours, based in the town of Angel Fire, and allow yourself to be invigorated by Northern New Mexico’s pristine air and unrivaled winter wonders.

PROFILE
by the book book artist Joy M. Campbell’s immersive process by B a r ba ra Ty ne r
Joy M. Campbell doesn’t judge a book by its cover. To the celebrated Santa Fe book artist, who makes sculptures out of discarded tomes, size is more important. So is texture. “I’m the person you’ll see at the Salvation Army going through the old books with my tape measure,” she laughs. Content doesn’t count much to Campbell either. Give her a deckle edge or an interesting binding and watch her eyes light up, her fingers fly. With deft folding, precise splicing, and lots of twisting and curling, Campbell transforms the most mundane pages (encyclopedia volume “G” is a favorite) into treasures. While many of her works retain elements of their formal structure, they transcend book-ness in every way. And though Campbell insists that words aren’t important when it comes to her work, ethereal, lacy, architectural, and insanely elegant are good ones to use to describe her pieces.
“To salvage something most people would consider trash and transform it into a piece of art—that’s very gratifying to me,” says Joy M. Campbell. A retired English teacher, Campbell developed a new affinity for books (ripping them up) when she took her first course in book altering at Santa Fe Community College in 2004. Her attraction to this art form is twofold. “I love the recycling aspect,” she says. “To be able to salvage something most people would consider trash and transform it into a piece of art—that’s very gratifying to me.” But materiality and the mechanics of her process are what really seem to ignite her. She talks “single fold” and “double fold” the way yogis talk breathing. “For me, it’s very meditative, folding pages and pages, over and over again,” she notes. Campbell’s background making clothes informs her process of making book art. “For years, I sewed pieces for my family,” she says—but she’s not talking about patching knees or darning socks; Campbell has created everything from evening gowns and wedding dresses to suits for her husband. Tailoring is indeed a felicitous way of describing what Campbell does with her book pages, creating the perfect crisp creases and voluminous forms. The artist admits that she doesn’t read the books she repurposes (they’re usually abandoned for a reason), but sometimes she has fun with content or simply a title. Tax Time: The Angst of It All is a humorous frolic. Visually beautiful, it’s a frothy nest of pages cut to ribbons, all wriggly and squiggly, with a distinct sea anemone quality. Only a closer look reveals the tendrils are bound to a stultifying tax book. “Whenever we hear giggling in the gallery, we know that someone is looking at Tax Time,” Campbell says.

inda Swanson has built her life around art. She spends her days serving as chair of the art department at Santa Fe University of Art and Design and her nights— not to mention her early mornings—in her work space, which doubles as her living space. The studio was originally constructed for her husband, sculptor Ed Visser, who’s based in Los Angeles, where Swanson lives part-time. “[Ed] designed it with a really good friend, David Perrigo,” Swanson says, adding that Perrigo, who died in 2012, “was the most low-ego architect I’ve ever known. He reduced things to a really simple form that worked really well.” The roughly 500-square-foot passivesolar adobe is elegant, spare, and practical, with abundant natural light and an outdoor area populated with fruit trees: apple, apricot, peach, and Asian pear. Sliding wooden doors separate the main room into two parts while regulating light and heat, and basic track lighting facilitates pre-dawn and post-sunset drawing sessions. What used to be Visser’s workbench now houses a sink and a hot plate, and a former shed serves as a bathroom and utility area. Swanson has been living and working here for the past 10 years. “I used to have a studio in the house,” she says, gesturing toward the property’s main structure, which is occupied by tenants. Back then, the parameters of family life shaped her approach to art. She’d been focusing primarily on painting, both Linda Swanson

2-D and sculptural. She found, however, that drawing (because it’s more portable) was a medium better suited to the demands of parenting. Happily, it also turned out to be “the thing I was most passionate about,” Swanson says. Swanson’s routine is decidedly low-key, determined by the momentum of any given piece, but she does have preferences for certain materials. “I like really, really sharp pencils, and a certain kind of paper,” she says. That paper is of substantial weight, which means she can bypass drawing boards and easels and attach it directly to the wall. She loves to create “drawings that are large physically, drawings that take a long time, drawings that have many components,” and her setup is a perfect fit for these types of projects. “It’s kind of ideal,” she notes. Like her approach to her work, Swanson’s space is intimate—and, in a way, it’s a composition unto itself. “You have to be highly selective, and you have to edit constantly,” she says of the studio’s arrangement. “When everything finds its place, there’s a huge amount of satisfaction.”

Whether classic or recent, Varjabedian’s crystal-clear images—primarily black-and-white, created with a large-format camera—inhabit a space between the temporal and the timeless. by Eve Tolpa

Images in his latest impressionistic landscapes are likely to resonate with anyone familiar with the area: an icy creek, the cool lavender tint of winter light on snow, and red earth peeking out from beneath the spring melt.

Natasha Isenhour: A Prayer for the Wild Things The William&Joseph Gallery, 727 Canyon thewilliamandjosephgallery.com December 14–January 14 Reception December 14, 5–7 pm This fundraiser exhibit for the Interfaith Community Shelter features works by oil painter and pastelist Natasha Isenhour, who often gathers inspiration from her Southwestern surroundings and recently turned her eye to the subjects of birds and vessels. “Birds represent the epitome of compassion and strength through incredible adversity,” she says, adding vessels symbolize “the endless capacity we have as human beings for compassion and love.”
Idle Hands Turner Carroll Gallery, 725 Canyon turnercarroll.com, through January 15 Artists working in multifaceted media explore fine art applications of what has historically been considered women’s crafts. Tracy Krumm incorporates “traditionally female” paraphernalia, (such as kitchen strainers and crocheted items) into her hanging pieces, while Davis Birks’s ingenious sculptures weave together material both natural and industrial. Work by Chuck Close (a tapestry created on a loom invented in 1801) and Rusty Scruby (woven photographs) similarly recontextualize fiber arts.

Over the course of his 40-year career, Ivan Barnett, director of Patina Gallery, has been a strong adherent to the foundations of design, and he sees commonality among successful works of art, whatever their genre. “There is a reason that there are ‘great works,’ and they’re great because of universal principles of composition, light, movement, proportion, and scale,” Barnett says. It’s this set of principles that forms the basis of both Barnett’s photographs of China, highlighting the painterly qualities of the country’s cityscapes, and his abstract mobiles constructed from oxidized steel. There are echoes of Matisse and Calder in the latter, as Barnett counts the two artists among his influences. “I feel as though I’ve made them my teachers,” he says. In addition to Patina, Barnett’s work can be seen at the Museum of International Folk Art and the New Mexico Museum of Art.

The current pieces are bigger in scale than usual, focus on the line and composition, and possess a muted color palette rather than the vibrant one that’s been the artist’s calling card. With each painting, Smith says, “I’m trying to keep the mood of the sketches I do when working with a model.” Brad Smith, In the Moment, oil on canvas, 20 x 16"

Bridge House
a custom-designed home works with— and around—the local landscape

aving hiked the Galisteo Basin’s hills and valleys for years, Rob Douglas knew exactly where in Lamy he would build his and partner Randy Falk’s dream house if the chance ever arose. In 2003, he got that chance. “One day I noticed that the lot [I had loved] was for sale,” Douglas says. “I ran home to tell Randy, and we made it happen—fast.” Though dotted with junipers, piñons, aspens, and typical scrubby desert flora, the lot was otherwise a blank canvas, the perfect spot for two creative types—one an abstract artist, the other a modernist architect—to build their own architectural legacy.

setting the scene
In his work as a commercial architect, Falk had certainly cut down his share of trees in preparation for new builds, but doing so always pained him. “I come from a long line of tree huggers,” he says. Resolved to avoid displacing trees in the building of his home, Falk created a floor plan in which several wings spike from main buildings via covered bridges. Because the bridges are narrow, they easily slip around and between trees, and, to Falk’s huge satisfaction, only two junipers december/january 2014

The bridge connecting the entryway and kitchen with the living room hovers above the ground to allow rainwater to collect, via arroyos, in an underground cistern. Illuminating the handscraped, stained hickory floors, the heavy, commercial-grade windows are angled slightly in each bridge to add space and depth to the narrow passageways.
had to be removed. The bridges are raised off the ground to allow rainwater to run off underneath into a 12,000-gallon catchment system. To maximize the home’s deliberately scenic setting, “every window was designed around a view,” Falk says. Indeed, some of the best views are those immediately outside the bridges—extreme close-ups of the aspens and junipers that Falk was able to save. And while Falk and Douglas call their home The Bridge House, with all the windows, skylights, and views at every turn they could have just as easily called it The Tree House. The home’s twists and passageways certainly appeal to a childlike sense of exploration and adventure. The very feature of the property that makes the views so desirable—a steep drop-off on the southwest-facing side—is the same one that made designing a home on it such a challenge. Falk’s solution was to simply go with the flow. “We set all of the floor levels so that we didn’t have to change the topography or disturb the trees,” he notes. “No grading was done.” The master and guest suites are split-level rooms, in which 15-foot Trombe walls and Danish cast iron stoves serve as the focal points. (There are no TVs in The Bridge House.) Two doors in each suite open to mini-decks just large enough for a small chair or two. One false step, and you’ll quickly find out just how steeply that grade drops off. The suites, echoing the feel of the rest of the house, are decidedly Zen-like. “We wanted the house to feel like it was a little Japanese place in the woods,” Douglas says. “Little” might be pushing it (the square footage of all sections of the home comes in at just a hair under 5,000), but a teak-lined concrete tub, shoji screens, built-in cabinets with frosted glass, a contemporary bed frame, hand-cut dark blue slate backsplash, troweled cement walls, and simple decor (accented by Douglas’s oil and acrylic artwork) all point to a contemporary Asian aesthetic. 54

Clean-lined and eminently functional, the kitchen has its own Zen feel. The combination of earthy Silestone and industrial stainless steel countertops complement the warm chestnut cabinets and cast concrete sinks made locally by Spencer Martin.

The interior design of The Bridge House originally began as a typical high-gloss contemporary look, but, as Douglas says, “The house wouldn’t let us do it. It wanted to be what it wanted to be.” And what it wanted—no, demanded—to be was a tactile melding of earthy elements (American Clay, slate, smooth plaster, sand, hickory, and reclaimed wood) with industrial materials from Falk’s architectural playbook (steel I-beams, cement, commercial-grade windows and skylights, steel window frames, and lots and lots of concrete). Falk was adamant that not a surface was to be painted, opting more often than not for unusual materials and textures. It helped that his partner was completely on board with his out-of-the-box approach. “Rob told me, ‘Just go crazy!’” Falk says. “He pushed a lot to keep the design on the edge.” Borrowing a favorite commercial product for his own home, Falk liberally used Kalwall shoji-style skylights in many places, including the bridges, the guest bathroom, and the living room. The skylights cement the Japanese aesthetic of the home, certainly,

but Falk’s primary reason for using them was to showcase—and protect—Douglas’s gorgeous artwork. “They let in natural light but aren’t damaging to the paintings,” Falk says.
artist-in-residence
Douglas estimates he creates some 60 to 70 original pieces of art a year. His 900-square-foot studio, with its 16-foot ceilings and numerous south-facing windows, is the building at the farthest edge of the compound, the realization of a dream after years of renting cold, cramped, dimly lit spaces. An evaporative cooler keeps the studio comfortable in the summer; another Trombe wall/wood stove combination allows for year-round use. “The studio design went through many transformations,” Douglas says. A guest house is currently set up for the purpose it was designed for—to be a quiet space for visitors—but Douglas uses it as a place for personal contemplation and decompression when he needs a break from the intensity of creating. At one point he’d planned to use the guest house for additional studio
For an artist, a dream studio has ample lighting, plenty of space to keep materials in order, and a comfortable temperature in which to work. Douglas’s hits the mark, with multiple workstations to boot.

space—one room for woodworking, another for metalworking—but he ultimately realized its value as a getaway spot. Another bridge joins the guest house with the actual studio. It’s easy to see why this slightly wider bridge is one of Douglas’s favorite spots on the property: The comfy sofa is strategically placed to look out in both directions over garden spaces Douglas landscaped himself, offering plenty of opportunities for artistic inspiration and reflection.
an organic process
Falk and Douglas split their time between New Mexico and Philadelphia, where they keep what they call their “city house” and Douglas paints through much of the winter. No strangers to cold weather, they also recently purchased an old farm in Maine. Naturally, Falk is updating the old buildings (a barn is slated to become another studio), and the couple are looking forward to a new chapter in their lives, one that involves organic farming and rural living. For the moment, however, life is about building and designing things, not growing them. Old houses come with their share of challenges, but Falk and Douglas know they’ll enjoy the process of finding out what their new home wants, and shaping it to their own personal style. “I like a project that has lots of requirements,” Falk says. “It sends you in a direction.”

the cozy kiva a beloved staple of Santa Fe style that warms up—and transforms—any room THERE’S no more quintessentially New Mexican scent than the sweet perfume of piñon smoke drifting over the parapet of a snug Santa Fe adobe on a cold winter night. And if you step inside, you might find an equally quintessential architectural feature blazing in the corner, its flickering flames holding you spellbound. While all roaring fireplaces are mesmerizing, a corner-set kiva fireplace earns extra points by turning the logs on their heads, inducing the flames upward, and creating a fiery pyramid straining for the dark void of the chimney above. Kivas tend to draw well and burn their fuel thoroughly, although their dimensions often require shorter split logs than a typical hearth. And their shape—an inverted cone with an elliptically arched opening—adds a sculptural presence to any room. Even unlit, it draws the admiring eye. Add a hand-crafted screen or perhaps a simple mantel or nicho in the chimney above, and you have a design element that is hard to translate outside New Mexico. As for the kiva’s provenance, its roots might be more Native American than Spanish. Though a mid-20th-century marketeer probably first applied the moniker “kiva,” you can trace this fireplace style to the hearths in pre-Chaco Canyon pueblos. The current design also resembles the outdoor horno, a domed, chimneyless oven pueblo folks still bake bread in—although the Moors brought that design to Spain, and then Spanish colonists brought it here. One thing is for sure, though: The kiva fireplace is key to Santa Fe style. The preeminent architectural historian Bainbridge Bunting extolled the corner fireplace in his classic Of Earth and Timbers Made: New Mexico Architecture: “The most interesting architectural feature of a traditional New Mexico interior is undoubtedly the fogón—the fireplace,” he wrote. Long built of adobe bricks (which contain straw), early New Mexican fireplaces sometimes caught fire. (Oven-fired bricks available in the mid-1800s solved that problem.) The kiva design went mainstream after World War II, when homes by production builders like Allen Stamm began sporting them. Today you see a variety of styles—kivas might be simple bulbs or they might be mantel-topped, square-edged, flagstoneaproned hearths. They might be squat and round or triangular and sharp-edged. Or they might wear a coat of colored plaster that contrasts with the room they inhabit. You can dress kivas up with customized wrought-iron screens, like the ones made by The Man of Steel (kivafireplacescreens.com); matching tool sets of pokers, brooms, shovels, and tongs; and cozy log baskets. Christopher Thomson Ironworks Studio (christopherthomsonironworks.com) hand forges all those accessories, according to marketing director Susan Livermore. Livermore helps with the designs, which she says hew closely to traditional abstract shapes—no coyotes or kokopellis here. Whatever your style, a character-filled kiva is one of the defining ingredients ofSanta Fe living, and curling up in front of one is a simple yet satisfying way to welcome the winter season.

Electronic versions of farolitos—paper bags filled with sand and candles—line homes and other buildings around Santa Fe during the winter season.
farolitos illuminate Santa Fe’s wintertime appeal by Phi l Pa r ke r
Chris Corrie
Paper bag. Sand. Candle. A farolito is so simple, yet its power to evoke everything from holiday cheer to community spirit is anything but. In the winter, farolitos (also called luminarias) famously draw crowds to Santa Fe from around the world—whether it’s to the downtown Plaza, where they line numerous store rooftops, or to Canyon Road, where, on Christmas Eve, they light the way for thousands of revelers taking part in the annual Farolito Walk. The origin of farolitos dates back centuries, to a trade relationship between Spain and China. Spanish merchants admired the colorful traditional Chinese lanterns, but the delicate paper lamps weren’t durable. When the Santa Fe Trail opened up access to new consumer goods (like sturdy brown bags), locals were able to make a more viable type of paper lantern, and a New Mexico tradition was born. Adam Pehrson, who owns Luminarias Limited in Albuquerque (luminariaslimited .com), calls his job of installing electronic versions of farolitos along the roofs of places like the DeVargas and Sanbusco centers in Santa Fe “fun as can be. There isn’t anything more traditional than luminarias or farolitos for the holiday season,” he adds. Clients of Luminarias Limited include businesses and homeowners, and the company provides a full range of services, from free consultations to installation, maintenance, and takedown. In addition to the warmth and charm farolitos bring to any setting, the paper lanterns’ enduring appeal stems precisely from their simplicity. The little boxes of light offer a welcome respite from the commercialization and consumerism that often define this time of year and instead allow locals and visitors alike to enjoy the season’s simple pleasures—from the comforts of home and infectious holiday cheer to the wintertime beauty of historic Santa Fe.

53 This refaced kitchen showcases a personalized combination of styles available at Carved Custom Cabinets. The elegant look and finish are inspired by Spanish Colonial Revival furniture.
An alchemy involving tangible and intangible elements drives the unique artistry of Carved Custom Cabinets’ stunning handcrafted pieces—from the gloss and density of the wood to the feeling of timelessness each piece evokes. “We really, really like history,” says Lannie Loeks, who co-owns Carved Custom Cabinets with her husband, Chris Clemens. “That’s what our cabinetry conveys. We base our designs on New Mexico’s historic furniture.” The typical thickness for a cabinet door is about three-quarters of an inch, but Carved Custom Cabinets’ are more than one inch thick. The cabinets, doors, furniture, and other pieces are a rich, maple syrup–like color—a look that comes from a meticulous finishing process in which 10 to 12 coats are applied, with sanding performed between applications. Most pieces are made from alder wood, whose elasticity makes it ideal for intricate carving, and the finishing can make it look like any material a client desires—black walnut, cherry,

pine, and so on. Clemens also refaces existing cabinets, installing just the company’s signature doors as an affordable alternative to an entirely new installation. A third-generation contractor, Clemens’s decades of experience have helped him develop a rapport with architects and designers looking to incorporate custom cabinets into new homes or remodels. Carved Custom Cabinets’ artistry is ideal for homes showcasing a distinctively Southwestern look. “What we like about what we do is that it’s so suited to New Mexico architecture,” Loeks says. “It’s fun to offer something that feels so right, that will last forever, and is truly beautiful. And it’s correct—it’s right for here.” For more information on designing and ordering individual pieces, visit carvedcustomcabinets.com.

The requisite toffees, caramels, creams, and fudges, along with goodies packed with piñon and even red and green chile (try the green chile peanut brittle), celebrate local and all-natural ingredients. Hot, freshly roasted nuts and root beer floats round out the list of treats, and Señor Murphy is happy to ship gift baskets around the country. Life is sweet!—John Vollertsen

Rabbit lasagna
a refined return
After Joseph Wrede won a Best New Chef Award from Food & Wine magazine in 2000, he went from being a small-town celeb in Taos, where he ran Joseph’s Table, to having national acclaim practically overnight. Wrede took it all in stride and managed to carve out a niche for himself in the local restaurant scene, while the barrage of media attention lured foodies from around the world to his already popular restaurant to see what all the fuss was about. Joseph’s Table stayed on top for a decade and weathered a location change, the opening and closing of a satellite bakery, and worldwide economic turmoil. When Wrede moved his family south two years ago to take on the Santa Fe dining scene, first at The Palace and then at Tomme, he continued honing his skills, with the added task of needing to cook within the framework of business partners’ themes and concepts. At the recently opened Joseph’s (josephsofsantafe.com) in the Guadalupe district, diners are experiencing a redefining and refinement of Wrede’s gastronomic vision. At his culinary pub, as he calls it, Wrede is cooking better than ever. His journey, with all its bumps in the road, has helped him refocus his skills; today his confident palate shows in every dish. As a restaurant owner, creating a decor you feel a connection to is tricky—designers often do too much visually and architecturally—but Wrede and his wife, artist Kristin Bortles, have gotten it right. By keeping things simple, they’ve put together a cozy space that’s both modern and classic. Artistic wall adornments create a warm atmosphere, a partition of lit votive candles illuminates a back nook, and stencils of acorns and pinecones on natural wood planks are a nod to the farm-to-table movement Wrede passionately follows.

a burning church, hasfollowed Wrede down the mountain from Joseph’s Table. Another chubby cherub on a mural overlooks the dining proceedings. As soon as my companions and I were seated, we received a basket of warm, house-made bread rolls with tasty herband-chive butter—a very good start. Wrede’s menu is eclectic, with a number of Mediterranean touches here and there. A rich garlic soup thickened with smoked paprika and bread is a delicious way to begin your meal—pungent but not too garlicky and gussied up with a perfectly poached organic egg. A warm chicken liver mousse on grilled polenta was so popular with my dining companions that we ordered a second one to accompany our main courses. Rock shrimp sautéed in a delicate smoked butter with crispy whole wheat phyllo and a pristine salmon sashimi with fried greens and dehydrated beets and squash were the most innovative dishes we encountered. Entrées include meat and fowl offerings and many intriguing options for vegetarians, including a leek cake, carrot pudding, and herb yogurt trio topped with a soft egg that had us licking the plate. The weaving of an East Indian–spiced spinach puree through an enchilada plump with pumpkin, kale, corn, and local chanterelles is a yummy global take on the New Mexico classic. Crispy Scottish salmon with steamed artichoke, lemon aioli, and radish potato salad is as pretty to look at as it is delish to eat. A rich rabbit lasagna with root vegetables and wild mushrooms had my Italian dining companion (and very good cook) swooning. The surprise of the night was a mustard seed–crusted seared cauliflower lobe served on a bed of tender white beans with a zippy anchovy tomato sauce that was truly the most delicious thing I have tasted in 2013. And then there was the duck fat–fried french fries! Desserts continued in the neat-clean flavor vein with killer chocolate pâté, subtle basil panna cotta with berry puree,

Chef Joseph Wrede elevates pub fare in his latest Santa Fe endeavor

At his culinary pub, Joseph Wrede is cooking better than ever. and a decadent butterscotch pudding with salted caramel drizzle that went around the table five times until every bit was gone. Joseph’s is truly a foodie heaven. Seven beers on tap and a diverse international wine list offer something for everyone, and in every price range. I enjoyed my St. Supéry sauvignon blanc by the glass throughout the meal, while my guests stuck with beer: a Belgian Chimay Triple. The staff is professional and accommodating, and they’re confident about their knowledge of food and wine. Fame can be fleeting in any industry, but perhaps no more so than in the hospitality biz. Restaurants come and go, but a true culinary talent just gets better and better. At Joseph’s, an older and wiser Wrede proves your cooking can be as vibrant and au courant as that of any of the young celebrity pups coming up through the ranks. Top chef? You bet!—JV

REVIEW
“steak”-ing their claim a new Taos steak house offers sophisticated, eclectic fare When the snow flies in New Mexico, skiers from around the globe head here to enjoy our sunny slopes and great mountain vistas. This season, visitors to Taos have a new cozy hangout to recharge and refuel in. Martyrs Steakhouse (martyrs-steakhouse.com) is smack dab in the center of town and offers lunch and dinner with a large, eclectic menu that satisfies far beyond its meaty moniker. Some dishes are great versions of classics while others show off chef Gabriel Farkash’s creativity. Named for the street that runs adjacent to the building (a historic former residence), Martyrs is the dream child of owners Barbara and Dennis Coca, who, as fans of American chophouses, set out to create a comfortable, affordable restaurant that would fill a specific niche within the Taos culinary scene. The smart planning and clever marketing has paid off, as Martyrs has been packing in diners since it opened in June 2012. The handsome main dining room boasts a wood-burning fireplace that makes this the perfect destination for après-ski snuggling. During the day,
Peppercorn-crusted boar tenderloin with chokecherry port sauce
ample windows keep away the winter gray and illuminate the eclectic artwork that adorns the walls. The building dates back to the 1920s, and attention has been paid to preserving its charm. Art deco lighting, wood floors, and dark stained wall accents set off white tablecloths and napkins, making for one of Taos’s prettiest dining rooms. Start your meal with a classic concoction by “Stevo,” the bar manager. The Martyrs Margarita is a bracing blend of fresh grapefruit and lime juices, elderflower liqueur, tequila, and agave nectar. (Talk about a Rocky Mountain high!) This mixologist really knows his stuff, and even brought in real copper cups for serving up Moscow Mules. Much care has gone into the wine list, which offers good choices in all varietals (and price ranges) from many countries. On my late fall visit, Martyrs’ marketing director, Jennifer Jordan, spoiled me with Jolivet Sancerre as we perused the menu. Chef Farkash, who’s cooked at many other popular local restaurants, offered us a tasting menu option that made dining all the more fun. Fat Blue Point oysters with tart basil mignonette, an impossibly rich lobster bisque, and delicious mac-and-cheese ensured I will maintain my winter weight! A fried herbed polenta cake sided with béarnaise sauce for dipping was immediately gobbled up. Fork-tender tournedos of beef, expertly grilled pink and sauced with a luscious cabernet reduction, and moist peppercorn-crusted boar tenderloin with chokecherry port sauce showed off the chef’s expert steak house grilling skills. The catch of the day, parrot fish, was light and simple with a zippy citrus sauce. Herb-roasted fingerlings, tempura onion rings, and grilled asparagus are tasty additions to the mains—I’ll be back for the potatoes au gratin. Service is attentive and friendly and matches the homey setting. Since a bulky sweater can hide a multitude of winter pounds, we did our best to put a dent in our dessert sampler, which included bourbon butterscotch crème brûlée, bread pudding with Southern Comfort sauce, and flourless chocolate torte. All were delish, but lingering over a full-bodied MacMurray Ranch pinot noir by the fire had me calling for my bed. Luckily, the famous Taos Inn is right across the street. I don’t think I’ll hit the slopes tomorrow—perhaps a dogsled!—JV Bread pudding with Southern Comfort sauce

If, like me, you have a long list of foodies on your holiday gift list, you’re in luck. Santa Fe is a veritable Santa’s Workshop when it comes to sourcing unique and practical items an epicurean would love. Here’s a short list of goodies I’d be thrilled to receive and am certain any gourmand in your life would love, too. (Note to Santa: I’m at the same address as last year!) Since 1951, the name Nambé has been synonymous with Santa Fe style, and the new stainless steel Nambé Gourmet CookServ Cookware, designed by Neil Cohen, celebrates the timelessness of the Nambé look. The line’s wide range of items includes sauté pans, saucepans, soup and stock pots, and my favorite piece, the 14-inch paella pan. All come with lids that are dimpled to encourage constant basting, and each piece is elegant enough to go from the stove right to the table. Watch for monthly “Try Me” specials. Nambé Santa Fe, 924 Paseo de Peralta, nambe.com. Knife maker Ken Onion made such a splash with the complete range of chef ’s knives he designed for Japan’s Shun knife company that he recently teamed up with Chef Works to create the Rain Collection, which won the Kitchen Knife of the Year Award at the annual Blade Show in Atlanta. The design, which looks as though the blades have been dappled with rain drops, gives the surface a texture that creates friction and helps prevent food from sticking to the knife. The complete line offers more than a dozen shapes and sizes, but the eight-inch cook’s knife is a must-have for any discerning home chef. Las Cosas Kitchen Shoppe, DeVargas Center, 181 Paseo de Peralta, lascosascooking.com. Wearing the right shoes is as important in the kitchen as it is on the sports field. On Your Feet, in the Sanbusco Market Center, has the complete line of Dansko clogs in a variety of styles and colors. The unique design offers firm arch and foot support and—very important—a non-slip bottom so you stand steady while taking the family turkey out of the oven. On Your Feet, 530 Montezuma, onyourfeetsf.com. Take home a piece of Santa Fe or send some of it to family and friends by shopping at the Santa Fe Farmers Market’s stores. The chocoholics on your list will love the ChocolateSmith’s chile pâté sampler—rich and fudgy pieces teased into a colorful chile shape— while tea lovers will adore the rich array of blends at the ArtfulTea shop, like the Solstice Spice black tea kicked up with cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, orange, and pink pepper. There’s terrific local vino at the Vivác Winery Tasting Room, and the Farmers Market Gift Shop sells local and global treasures. Santa Fe Farmers Market, 1607 Paseo de Peralta, santafefarmersmarket.com. Gift certificates to your favorite restaurants also make great gifts. Treat your loved ones to a high-end outing, or let them indulge in their favorite international cuisine. And just as material gifts stimulate the economy, donating your time or your money to organizations that help and support others in need stimulates the soul. Four of my favorite organizations include The Food Depot (thefooddepot.org), Youth Shelters (youthshelters .org), Cooking with Kids (cookingwithkids.net), and Kitchen Angels (kitchenangels .org). Whatever holiday you celebrate at this festive time of year, I wish you peace, prosperity, and good eating always.—JV

Chef Russell Thornton focuses on contemporary American cuisine with Southwestern influences, featuring the finest dry and wet aged steaks, prime rib, wild game, and fresh seafood. Our wine list features more than 800 labels and 20 wines by the glass, earning us the “Best of Award of Excellence” from Wine Spectator. Rio Chama offers a mix of intimate dining spaces, two beautiful patios, and a bustling bar. Our historic, private dining rooms can accommodate from 15 to over 100 guests and offer several accommodations. Open daily 11 am–close.
Centrally located in the Design District of Pacheco Park, Sweetwater serves as an oasis where Santa Feans gather to be nourished and inspired. The global eclectic menu is sustainably and locally sourced when available, with many gluten-free and vegetarian items. New Mexico’s first Wine on Tap system supplies an SIP-certified by-theglass selection in addition to craft brews on tap. Breakfast features gourmet coffees and classic items like baked eggs with crème fraîche and herbs as well as lemon ricotta spelt pancakes made from flour freshly milled onsite. Check out guest chef Kimnath Nou’s Thai Night on Wednesdays or the special $19 fixed-price three-course menu Thursdays–Saturdays.

Ruidoso Winter Park

For fast-paced snow fun at a fraction of the cost of going skiing, it’s hard to beat Ruidoso Winter Park, about three-and-a-half hours south of Santa Fe. The park offers inner-tube rides down chutes that wind over big, snowcovered hills. (The site has its own snowmaking equipment in case Mother Nature holds back.) Nearly 1,000 tubes are available to rent on a first-come, first-served basis, including huge ones that seat up to six people and small ones that children can take to the Kidz Korral. Check the calendar on the park’s website (ruidosowinterpark.com) for night tubing days, when customers can ride until 8 or 9 pm. Uphill conveyor belts spare leg muscles and save time. And best of all: there are free roasted marshmallows for everyone.—Phil Parker
