Welcome to 62nd Spanish Market WELCOME and thank you for being a part of the Spanish Colonial Arts Society’s 62nd Annual Traditional Spanish Market — the oldest and largest juried Spanish market in the country. Hispanic culture is alive on the historic Santa Fe Plaza and at the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art on Museum Hill. Since its inception in 1926, the Spanish Colonial Arts Society has carried on its mission to preserve, promote, exhibit and educate the public about the Spanish colonial art of New Mexico and beyond. This is only made possible with the • partnership of a unique artistic community that has for generations passed down the traditions showcased at the market and in the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art; • support of a community that is growing beyond New Mexico’s state boundaries; • educational outreach programs offered at the museum, in the schools and at the market through lectures, demonstrations, in-school programs and mentorships; and with the • dedicated volunteers, sponsors and donors who give of their time, talent and financial resources to help realize the ambitious visions of a small, energetic board and staff. Spanish Market celebrates a community, a rich cultural heritage and living traditions that are alive and thriving in New Mexico today. Stop and talk with the artists! They are excited and happy to share knowledge of their art forms and traditions deeply rooted in their culture. Share the passion they have for their history. We hope you will support the artists by purchasing a treasure that will help secure the continuation of a generational expression of love and devotion for years to come. As a special treat, walk through the Plaza and view the interpretations of the many traditional works of art created by our youth artists. These talented young artists, between the ages of 7 and 17, mentored through the year by our adult market artists, showcase their unconventional works of art. We hope you will continue your immersion into New Mexico’s culture by visiting our Museum of Spanish Colonial Art on Museum Hill. The museum features a very special exhibition, Window on Lima: The Beltrán-Kropp Collection From Peru. The exhibition includes a permanent gift of art and artifacts from Peru and around the world collected by Pedro Gerardo Beltrán Espantoso, Peru’s ambassador to the United States (1944-45) and prime minister of Peru (1959-1961), and his wife, Miriam Kropp Beltrán. Come see Window on Lima and exhibits featuring current Spanish Market artists including Metal and Mud, Out of the Fire; San Ysidro Labrador and Recent Acquisitions. We would especially like to thank the Archdiocese of Santa Fe for the special Sunday morning Mass, during which the archbishop will bless the artists and their chosen work. Please join us at Mass at 8 a.m. at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi and for the mariachi procession that follows to the Plaza. Join us this November in Albuquerque for our Winter Spanish Market. The 25th year celebration will be at Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town on Friday, November 29 and Saturday, November 30. The markets, the museum and the educational opportunities provided by the Spanish Colonial Arts Society are all listed on our website at www.spanishcolonial.org. Become a member of the Spanish Colonial Arts Society today to help continue the legacy. Maggie Magalnick, Spanish Market Director Spanish Colonial Arts Society

Experiential learning Spanish Market Week events expand the cultural experience By Arin McKennA
T
he Spanish Market Week events leading up to the market are more subdued than the lively weekend celebration, but they may touch on a deeper and more personal level. This year’s arts and cultural offerings include world-class concerts, an opportunity to converse with artists over lunch and a delectable class with one of Santa Fe’s premier chefs. The following are highlights of many of the week’s events.
AnnaMaria cardinalli-Padilla brings it home World-renowned guitarist and vocalist AnnaMaria Cardinalli-Padilla has shared her talents with market-goers since she was five or six. “I remember joining the Spanish Colonial Arts Society when I was still a little kid and being so excited about doing it,” Cardinalli-Padilla said. “I’m an 18th-generation Santa Fean, and I feel that my music is an expression of my cultural heritage. “This upcoming performance is going to be a milestone. I think that music is one of those extremely important arts, and although it’s not one of the visual arts of the Spanish Colonial Arts Society, it does something irreplaceable in terms of communicating the beauty of our heritage, both to those within our culture and to those outside of our culture.” The concert program that Cardinalli-Padilla will perform grew out of her doctoral dissertation on New Mexico’s Penitente culture at the University of Notre Dame. Penitentes are members of a lay brotherhood of the Roman Catholic faith. “I explored it through the lens of their worship music. And in doing so I saw this incredible window into a tri-cultural convergence of the Islamic heritage, the Jewish heritage and the Christian heritage, and how those contributed to each other … [to create] an environment of tolerance that I think is really inspirational and relevant to our current world situation. “I think this music tells a story that’s really important to hear now and also a story that’s been preserved in the lives of the people of Northern New Mexico 8 2013 Spanish Market
for these countless generations.” Cardinalli-Padilla has toured this concert nationally, performing it at the Kennedy Center and for the Spanish royal family. “But this is the first time my own home is inviting me home, and that means so much to me,” Cardinalli-Padilla said. “It’s our story, so we should enjoy it as much as everybody else does.”
Lunch with the artists Locals described the Luncheon with the Artists as a chance to rub elbows with accomplished artists. Larry Hootkin enjoyed “an opportunity to meet artists in a small, face-to-face setting and interact with them, learn about their background and their artwork.” “We’ve collected Hispanic art for a long time now, and part of the collecting experience is being able to know the artist,” said Hootkin’s wife, Jane. “It’s been a great experience for us because there were certain artists that we hadn’t been able to know, and we were able to see their work and talk with them on a more intimate basis.” The luncheon is also a time to visit with old friends and meet new ones. Kay Lewis said, “It’s really fun to get to know new people who are interested in the same types of thing you are, which in this case is Spanish colonial art.” Nancy Dimit has hosted her own table at the luncheon. “I’ve been able to choose artist friends whom I’ve known the last 25 years to be there with me, which is always a wonderful, wonderful thing to be able to do,” Dimit said. Dimit also invites friends who are unfamiliar with the Spanish Colonial Arts Society, to entice them to join. For Pat Kuhloff, the year she was seated near jeweler Lawrence Baca stands out. Kuhloff happened to be wearing one of Baca’s pendants. “He recognized the piece right away and was really pleased to see it,” Kuhloff said. “It was just really fun to be able to talk about the piece and how he made it and why he made it. It was a real pleasure to meet someone who had made something that my kids thought enough of to give to me as a present. It all came full circle at the Spanish Market lunch.”
Felipe Mirabal will speak about Cristo Rey Church’s famous altar screen.
Santa Fe School of Cooking The Santa Fe School of Cooking was moving to its new location at 125 N. Guadalupe St. during last year’s market. Now its Spanish Market Class is back with La Boca’s chef/owner James Campbell Caruso providing the recipes and demonstration in a beautiful new demonstration kitchen. The school donates 20 percent of the proceeds to the Spanish Colonial Arts Society. “I always have a lot of demand from my customers to do cooking demonstrations,” Caruso said. “They like our food and the cookbook, so it just enhances their experience if they can … read about it and come eat at the restaurant — [and also] to come see us put it together for them is kind of fun.” This year’s fare of tapas has a contemporary twist: shrimp paella nigiri, beet and morcilla pancakes and a modern rendition of the classic Tortillas Española (egg and potato frittata) that substitutes potato chips for the traditional fried potatoes. “I like to change it around and put different flavors inside. This one is going to have potatoes and crab,” Caruso said. Caruso also shares his knowledge about the cuisine. “Since we’re in Spanish Market, I like to talk about the Spanish influence on the food here, which is something we’re still learning about and expressing every day at our restaurant,” Caruso said. “I also talk about the difference between Spanish food and Mexican food and New Mexican food.” Signed copies of Caruso’s cookbooks will be available at both the class and the school throughout the weekend.

Cristo Rey’s famous altar screen Art historian Felipe Mirabal’s lecture title, “Don Bernardo de Miera y Pacheco, 17131785: The Construction of the Capilla Castrense,” might sound dry, but his enthusiasm for the talented artist is not. Miera y Pacheco carved the magnificent stone altar screen now residing in the Cristo Rey Church at 1120 Canyon Road. In addition to his artistic talents, he is renowned for his cartography skills and the important maps he produced of the region during the Colonial Period. Mirabal traces the altar screen’s history from its installation in the Capilla Castrense (the military chapel) in 1760 through the present day. “It has become the monumental work of Spanish colonial art in New Mexico,” Mirabal said. “The altar screen and Miera y Pacheco’s other works of art influenced what became the santero tradition. There’s a direct correlation with it.” Mirabal chose his topic in honor of the artist’s 300th birthday in August.

The Museum of Spanish Colonial Arts Round out the week with a visit to the Museum of Spanish Colonial Arts. The featured exhibit is a collection of Peruvian art donated to the museum by the Beltrán-Kropp Foundation. “This [collection] will help highlight the unique attributes and qualities of New Mexico’s Spanish colonial art in the context of our role in the Spanish colonial empire, worldwide,” said John Schaefer, owner of Peyton Wright Gallery. Other exhibits include works by Spanish Market potters and ironworkers, Metal and Mud, Out of the Fire!; Stations of the Cross; Filigree and Finery and Collecting New Mexico: E Boyd, which explores the legacy of the society’s first curator.

Del Corazón awarD
Volunteer helped revive Youth artist workday By Arin McKennA Six years ago the artist liaison committee created the Del Corazón Volunteer of the Year award so artists could show their appreciation to outstanding volunteers. Each year’s honoree is chosen from among favorite volunteers nominated by the artists and presented with a bronze Sacred Heart designed by Arthur López. A different artist creates the award’s base every year, so each Del Corazón award is unique. Sadly, last year’s recipient, Mary Anne Kenney, died a few months after accepting the award. Kenney was remembered fondly by those who knew her. “My mom has always been the volunteering type, so she was always happy to go down there and interact with the artists and lend a hand where she could,” said Kenney’s son, Sean. Kenney’s involvement began around 2000, when she volunteered for the education committee. Her experience as director of volunteer development for the Sangre de Cristo Girl Scout Council proved to be an asset. “She was able to bring her expertise into building and planning and organizing events, especially the Youth Artist Workday,” said Arlene Cisneros Sena, one of the artists who nominated Kenney. Kenney was instrumental in establishing a Youth Artist Workday to help energize young artists to prepare for market each year. “It was just a fun day. Her ideas were always great,” Cisneros Sena said. The workday faltered after several years, but Kenney helped resurrect it. “When the Youth Artist Workday was revived — I think it was probably 2010 or 2011 — she was the first one standing in line,” Cisneros Sena said. “She wouldn’t tell you this, but she funded a major portion of it. She organized it and she was there to work the day.” Kenney tended to work quietly in the background. “My mom was pretty humble, and she didn’t really like the attention,” Sean Kenney said. “So she preferred to be behind the scenes making things go smoothly for everybody else: the artists, the people putting on the show.” “She was always the first one to stand up and get it done,” Cisneros Sena said. “The artists just always were around her. She had a way of bringing us to her. And she was so warm–just a warm, smiling face. A true artist advocate. She was really appreciated.” Kenney also volunteered as a docent at the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art. “She was a natural born teacher. After [she became] a docent, I just watched the passion in her grow,” Cisneros Sena said. Sean Kenney said his family was thrilled to see his mother recognized. “She was just beaming like I hadn’t seen her beam in quite a while. So I know she was thrilled,” Sean said. “She was shocked and excited and thankful and very, very humbled by it.” The 2013 Del Corazón Volunteer of the Year award recipient will be announced at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 27 at the Plaza Community Stage. 2013 Spanish Market 11

Cultural kaleidoscope Spanish Market celebrates heritage story By Arin McKennA photos By gene peAch Traditional Spanish Market offers both a feast for the senses and an opportunity to learn about New Mexico’s rich Hispanic traditions. “We are one of three heritage events in Santa Fe, and what we try to do that weekend is truly capture the culture,” Spanish Market Director Maggie Magalnick said. “We do it through the art, which is primo for the weekend. But also we provide an extensive two-day concert on the bandstand that includes music and dance. Our food court has some wonderful Hispanic fare. There’s traditional dress for the weekend, which makes it extremely festive. And that is all coupled with the location within the historic Santa Fe Plaza, surrounded by our traditional architecture. This is a perfect way for the Spanish Colonial Arts Society to promote, educate and preserve the rich cultural identity of the region and to fulfill that part of our mission.” A small group of individuals sponsored the first market in 1926. The Spanish Colonial Arts Society — founded in 1929 — now sponsors the event, which celebrates its 62nd year this summer. Magalnick calls the market one leg of a triangle that includes the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art and educational activities. “This triangle between education, the artists and the museum, under the umbrella of the society, is … very tight and interconnected,” Magalnick said. For many artists, educating others about their heritage is a key mission. They support the society’s educational programs, give lectures and demonstrations, volunteer for a museum initiative to teach art in the schools and provide mentoring for youth artists. The museum supports the artists through purchasing and displaying their art, providing artist information on their website and selling their art in the Tesoros Museum Shop. A percentage of gift shop sales in turn supports the society. For most participants, their heritage includes a deep religious devotion that is reflected in the art. Artists and their work are blessed during a Spanish Market Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi and in a procession around the Plaza. “I think it’s faith that underlines all of this,” Magalnick said. “There is a cultural identity
that certainly has to do with family, traditions, the religious faith, the Church — and that all plays into the market.” The market’s festive atmosphere is the highlight for many people. “The whole weekend is just full of such energy. You can eat, you can dance, you can listen to music, you can talk and buy art of all kinds,” Magalnick said. “The artists are out there from pure love. For those who are part of it and those who come to it, it just becomes a big family.”

Meet some of the artists
Visiting with the artists is an important aspect of Spanish Market. These dedicated individuals are committed to researching and learning about their heritage and are enthusiastic about sharing that information. Arin McKenna asked four of the artists to share some of their views.

Category: Weaving Years in Market: 22 Home: Chimayó Signature Pieces: Traditional Río Grande Saltero and Vallero designs. How I Learned: Weaving was passed on from my parents and my grandparents.
Category: Bone carving Years in Market: 12 Home: Abiquiú Signature Pieces: I try to model my pieces after the 17th- and 18th-century Spanish
Weaving’s been in our family for generations. Greatest Inspiration: My greatest inspiration is just keeping the tradition going that my ancestors used to do, maintaining it and making sure that the art form continues in its original state. What I Love About Market: I love the fact that we’re able to display the most time-consuming pieces. We challenge ourselves all year long just to display at Spanish Market, so we basically take the best of the best. And I enjoy interacting with people and explaining to them the whole process and showing them the importance of passing this prized tradition to my kids and to my grandkids. It inspires me to keep going. The Role of Mentoring: Mentoring, in my opinion, is what keeps it alive. What inspired me to be an instructor for weaving was the fact that I noticed that in my generation fewer and fewer people were actually teaching their children how to weave. [Martinez teaches at Northern New Mexico Community College, the Española Valley Fiber Arts Center and in her studio.]

colonial pieces. [One of Montaño’s ancestors was a famous 18th-century ivory carver.] How I Learned: I’m self-taught. I had a pile of antlers out in the yard and my wife was threatening to get rid of them, so I had to think quick. Greatest Inspiration: My greatest inspiration is my daughter Gabrielle, a special needs daughter with cerebral palsy — and my faith, of course. Gabrielle hangs out with me. She actually started blessing all my pieces by blowing them a kiss. What I Love About Market: I’m inspired by everyone’s work. I love that we’re all one big family. To be gathered all in one place is really exciting for me. The Role of Mentoring: I’ve taught some tin classes to some special needs kids in high school. My long-term goal is to set up a classroom out here in Abiquiú and to teach special needs kids, because that was a blast for me. They have so much fun learning. [Montaño has also taught a bone-carving workshop for Spanish Market youth artists.]

from New Mexico earth. How I Learned: I became disabled and during the time I was recuperating from my disability I began to do religious art and found that was a new ability that was given to me. Greatest Inspiration: I would have to say my greatest inspiration as far as artists go is Jesus Christ himself. He kind of set the pace for a new way of thinking when the world really needed a new way of thinking. And, good for us, it’s still alive and well, and Spanish Market sort of reinforces that. What I Love About Market: Most of all I like to see the children, because the children reflect awe and surprise and inspiration and wonderment. I also like to see what my contemporaries do in their work. It opens up my eyes and mind to a new way of thinking by observing other people’s work. The Role of Mentoring: This is a special year for me because my grandson, Dominic Rael, is going to join me as an adult artist in a booth at Spanish Market. So it becomes a transition of the generations for me personally. I mentored Dominic when he was young, so mentoring is really kind of a personal thing for me.
diamonds. The intricacy and minute scale of each design gives the illusion of filigree. How I Learned: I learned from my folks, Eliseo and Paula Rodriguez. My dad had revived this art form. I was recovering from back surgery and had to be home for a whole year, so I set up a table one day and I decided I’d like to learn this art form. And sure enough, it took off quite easily. Greatest Inspiration: My inspiration comes from knowing that whatever I create will bring joy, peace and healing to whomever my pieces are destined to belong to. What I Love About Market: I love the interaction with all kinds of people and seeing the wonderful artwork and new creations of all the talented artists. The Role of Mentoring: I think it is really important because it keeps the artwork alive, and it’s passed on to other generations, also. And it’s really good for the young people to learn about their culture and all the different art that is out there.

2013 Master’s award for LifetiMe achieveMent
Working with straw offers rich personal rewards story By HeatHer apodaca pHotos By luis sÁncHez saturno JIMMY TRUJILLO still has the very first piece of appliqué work he created nearly
30 years ago. The primitive figure of Saint Joseph, formed with a corn husk and inlaid into a rough-hewn piece of pine the size of a lighter, hangs above the worktable in his studio. The little figure is a reminder of where he started, and in its traditional materials and religious motifs, it is representative of the body of work he has produced over the course of his career. This year Trujillo, who developed the encrusted style of straw appliqué and is also an accomplished bone carver, won the Master’s Award for Lifetime Achievement. One of the market’s highest honors, the award recognizes more than just a high level of artistic achievement. The five-member panel of judges looks for accomplished artists who have helped pass on the legacy of Spanish colonial art in New Mexico, raised awareness of their particular art form and contributed to the artistic community. Winning artists must also have participated in Traditional Spanish Market for at least 15 years and be represented in private and museum collections. Trujillo is the 27th artist to receive the award, which was first presented to Horacio Valdez in 1987. Nine artists were nominated for the award this year. “Jimmy is a pioneer,” said Arlene Cisneros Sena, a member of the judging panel and the winner of the award last year. “He was the first one to bring the encrusted straw style to the market. He also understands that education is what continues the art form. [It’s] what brings the continuation of Spanish Market. Many of his students have gone on to be award-wining artists.” Trujillo was floored by the honor. “It wasn’t something I expected,” he said. “It’s something we all strive for, but when you do things you love, you don’t think of the impact they can have on other people.”
From many small things, a whole “Some people might call this work tedious,” Trujillo said as he gave me a tour of his tiny studio in Albuquerque. “But for me it’s relaxing.” Nearly microscopic pieces of straw, precisely cut for the design he is working on, litter his worktable. Each will be painstakingly incorporated into one of the designs for this year’s market. The studio itself is a time capsule of his career. A colorful bouquet of ribbons — every award he has won at Spanish Market since 1986 — dangle in a corner. Different varieties of grain — there are more than 13,000 types that could be used in appliqué — blossom from cups and vases. Rough sketches of designs are mixed in with photos of his four grandchildren, his wife and his hometown of Abiquiú. Trujillo spent 25 years working for the highway department and found in the art form a way to unwind after a long day dealing with the stresses of cars zooming by, heat and noise. As he deftly flicks each tiny piece into place with the concentration of a Zen master, it’s easy to understand how it provided his mind a break. 2013 Spanish Market 17
Most appliqué artists simply glue down their straw designs. The encrusted style involves embedding the straw in a layer of glue made from pine resin. The entire piece is then covered with a thinner pine varnish, creating a coated look that ages in a similar fashion to work created during the Spanish Colonial era. Trujillo’s eyes light up when he talks about the research he has done into straw appliqué’s traditional methods and materials. There is little written about the subject, so he, along with his mentor and fellow artist Charlie Carrillo, started studying old pieces and experimenting with dissolving pine sap in grain alcohol. After several experiments (and a couple of close calls in the kitchen) they had engineered the ratios needed for the glue and varnish. Trujillo has been working with the style — and working to spread its popularity — ever since. At his first market, in 1986, he was one of three straw artists. Through teaching (many of his students will participate in this year’s Spanish Market), demonstrating and talking about it with anyone who will listen, he has helped turn it into a more popular art form. There will be 26 straw appliqué artists at this year’s market. After perfecting the encrusted style, Trujillo began exploring other types of straw art, venturing as far as Minsk, Belarus for the International Straw Conference. His travels give him a new appreciation for the wide variety of pieces that can be created with straw and for the similarities he found to his own art. “I’ve learned how it’s used in other parts of the world,” he said. “It makes you think about all the many uses of straw, from hats to trivets [to] floor mats, the list goes on and on.”
Bone carving Jimmy Trujillo works in his studio.
An artist since he was a child, Trujillo has always loved to work with miniature pieces. In straw appliqué, he found the ultimate miniature art form. “I love the miniature things,” he said. “I always have. When I saw my first straw appliqué piece, it was love at first sight. It was a way for me to create larger pieces with miniature work.”
Encrusted straw Sometimes referred to as “poor man’s gold,” straw appliqué was a way for early colonialists to mimic the look of the gilded golden crosses of Spain, which were done on ebony. Traditionally it was made using natural colors of straw or corn husk on hand-hewn wood painted in shades of black, vermilion and indigo. Over the course of Trujillo’s 30-year career, he has revolutionized the art form, pioneering a return to traditional techniques and materials with his signature encrusted style. “Jimmy’s extraordinary talent lies in the technique of encrusted straw that he revived and perfected,” said Robin Gavin, curator of the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art in Santa Fe, which houses seven of his pieces. “This technique brings a luminescence and brilliance to his pieces that are not typically found in straw appliqué pieces.” 18 2013 Spanish Market
Trujillo is one of a few artists bringing bone carving to this year’s market. The art form, which was most likely started by sheepherders, is considered a revival art. Trujillo depends on hunter friends, who supply him with leg bones of deer and elk. He transforms these bones into tiny sculptures for neckerchief ties. “My dad used to do sheepherding,” Trujillo said, “and he did bone carving. He probably learned it from another sheepherder, and he taught me.” The art form is another way for him to work with miniature pieces, transforming them into things of beauty that defy their size.
Part of a community Watching Trujillo at an art show is like watching a grandfather mingle with his family. He knows everyone. Shakes everyone’s hand. Loves talking about his work and straw appliqué. “I think that’s one of the biggest benefits of Spanish colonial arts,” he said. “Most of the artists feel more like family than anything else. Sometimes new artists come in and they are hand shakers. But after a couple of years they become huggers. You always hug family.” Jimmy’s passion for teaching, his love of tradition and the sheer joy he expresses in the art form is contagious. And that made him a natural choice for the award. “Where all the other awards are about the art form, this one says something different,” said Cisneros Sena. “It’s about the person.” Trujillo’s work can be found in the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art and the Museum of International Folk Art in Santa Fe, as well as in museums and private collections across the globe, including the Smithsonian Institute, the Denver Art Museum and the American Museum of Straw Art in Long Beach, California.

Santera and author Marie romero Cash won the 2012 innovations Within Tradition category with her painted bulto Jesus Christ Superstar.
Innovate to InvIgorate artists bring fresh approach using traditional techniques By Arnold Vigil A relatively new category at the 62nd annual Traditional Spanish Market allows artists to “push the envelope” with a more innovative approach to their art. The 2013 event will offer market-goers a chance to see 32 artists’ entries in the Innovations Within Tradition category, a classification that made its debut in 2011. Conceived of and implemented by the artists themselves, the category has drawn more entrants each year. “It’s a breath of fresh air; it gives [the artists] more flexibility,” said Maggie Magalnick, director of the Traditional Spanish Market, of the latest addition to the event’s 20-category repertoire. The Innovations Within Tradition category might appear on the surface as a mirror to the more modern and cutting-edge work produced by artists showing at the simultaneous Contemporary Hispanic Market. This fledgling category, however, still requires artists to create within a specific parameter of materials, dyes, paints, woods, finishing products and more. Magalnick said, “It’s the artists themselves who choose to keep the guidelines intact, to keep the quality of work at a very high level.” 20 2013 Spanish Market
Testing artistic boundaries is an age-old practice. “Even the early retablos were always evolving,” Magalnick noted. “As [more] things are found, much of it through archaeology, it adds to the knowledge of traditional art.” While not all of the work that is entered in the category is religious in nature, Magalnick said “the Spanish culture ties it all together.” Santera and author Marie Romero Cash won the 2012 Innovations Within Tradition category with her painted bulto Jesus Christ Superstar, a folksy piece that incorporates many icons of the modern era, more specifically, people and events associated with the turbulent ’60s and transitional ’70s. Her carved and painted renditions of the Beatles, Andy Warhol and the assassination of John F. Kennedy contrast with the mostly religious Roman Catholic themes that most associate with the Traditional Spanish Market. “After a while, you get tired of doing the same thing every year,” said Romero Cash, who has shown her work at the event for 38 years. “I try not to do the same thing over and over.” Besides many other awards she won during her impressive Spanish Market run, Romero Cash also was chosen as the official poster artist in 1982 and 2001. Romero Cash, who also has written six books on Spanish culture, three mystery

novels and a coloring book, explained that her usual motivation and regimen to create art for the annual show was slowed this past year because of the death of her sister and the cancer diagnosis of a younger brother. “We Spanish people are all about family,” she said. “My brother and sister were always at Spanish Market.” But don’t expect her to give up on being her usual creative self for this year’s market, because it’s pretty much the same race to the finish every year. It’s an addiction. “I still work like a whirling dervish,” she laughed. “I’m a multi-tasker. The market has always been good to me. And if I don’t make money, then the fellowship with people makes up for it. I look forward to it every year.” The Santa Fe native says her mother and father, Emilio and Senaida Romero, used to create and show their tinsmith work at Spanish Market from the ’50s to the early ’80s, and they rode the wave of the resurgence of interest in Spanish colonial art that occurred in the late ’50s and ’60s. She began showing her own work at the event in 1975 at the age of 33, and she said she’s been creating innovative pieces the whole time. “Sometimes in the ’80s, they didn’t encourage innovation,” Romero Cash said, adding that she prefers to straddle both religious and folk art. “My work is not into realism; it’s not going to be detailed. You carve it just like you would a santo. “We’re all self-taught. We grew up at the cathedral with all the plaster of Paris saints. Many of us didn’t know what a santo was until we started painting them for Spanish Market.” Magalnick said she looks forward to seeing what innovations each artist brings to the table each year and added, “The categories are not static; they are fluid.”

2013 Spanish Market 25
Home is where the ART is Poster artist inspired by family and travel By Arnold Vigil There’s a common thread among Northern New Mexicans who leave the state and then come back: They develop a deepening passion for their homeland that seems to grow with each new and exciting place they experience. Some might call it homesickness, while others explain it with age-old adages — ”Absence makes the heart grow fonder” or ”You never know what you have until it’s gone.” The 2013 Traditional Spanish Market’s poster artist, Joseph Ascensión López, regularly experiences that love and longing for his family and historical roots the many times he’s been away from his home in La Mesilla, just south of Española. Fortunately, he also rekindles his lifelong passion to create art every time he leaves. His multiaward-winning 2012 entry into the Spanish Market, San Juan Nepomuceno, was chosen by the Spanish Colonial Arts Society to grace this year’s poster and will be used in much of the promotional materials for the weekend event. The riveting piece won first place at the 2012 Spanish Market in the Relief Carving category, as well as winning the Archbishop’s Award and the SCAS Director’s Award that designates the following year’s poster artist. San Juan Nepomuceno was literally on display for only minutes when it was quickly purchased by market-goers, its paint probably not even dry as the pine-based aspen piece was only completed a few days before the juried competition. López says the wood originated from a mill owned by family friends in the Peñasco area. His santero father Felix planted the seeds of wanderlust and art into the 43-yearold López at a very early age. Felix and his brothers Manuel and Alejandro are all accomplished santeros. Joseph’s sister, Krissa Maria López, is also an artist, regularly showing and selling her straw appliqué creations amongst the López men at their longtime family booth at Spanish Market. (The family is not related to legendary carver José Dolores López of Cordova.) “I really come from a family of artists,” the soft-spoken López revealed. “My dad was in a wood-carving group called La Escuelita that showed their work every year at Spanish Market. He is my teacher as well.” López said that many of the children of La Escuelita’s members also formed friendships and became artists. They’ve since formed their own coalition called Sangre Fuerte, which shows their distinct and traditional Northern New Mexico art at different venues. At the age of eight, López, along with his sister Krissa, was among a handful of children who first began showing their work at the fledgling Youth Spanish Market in the early 1980s. Just a few years later, Felix López treated his young artisan son to a trip to Europe, where the duo were exposed to classic artworks displayed in German 26 2013 Spanish Market

museums and at the Louvre and Musée Rodin in Paris. “I distinctly remember seeing the Mona Lisa,” López recalled. “Being exposed to that kind of art opened my eyes.” But López admitted that when he advanced into his teenage years, his passion turned from art to basketball and baseball at Española Valley High School. His athletic talent seemed to equal his artistic ability, as the 6-foot-4 prodigy of the local coaching legend Lenny Roybal went on to play two years of collegiate basketball at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix. But after a suffering a leg injury in the sport he loved, López returned home to La Mesilla to rehabilitate. While he floundered around on crutches, his father encouraged him to pick up his carving tools once again. Soon, López was creating masterful works of carved art and he later finished college at the University of New Mexico with a bachelor’s degree in fine art. With renewed interest in art, the world soon beckoned him as well, reawakening the wondrous feelings he experienced with his father during their trip to Europe. López has since traveled deep into Mexico and Bolivia, where he studied the art and related media techniques of the region. In Florence, Italy, he studied the techniques of Michelangelo, Da Vinci, and Donatello. Then Israel, Egypt, Jordan and the Central American countries of Costa Rica, Panama and Nicaragua beckoned, as did the countries of Ecuador, Peru and Columbia, where he absorbed the art and local customs and made friends with fellow artists along the way. He most recently returned to New Mexico from Hawaii, where he studied Polynesian carving techniques. “These trips have been very helpful,” López said. “I consider myself an adventurer; I travel as much as I can.” But when he finds himself back in New Mexico, the master carver admits, “I spend most of my time in Española.” For more information about López and his family, visit www.lopezarte.com.

It takes a village New generation learns from market mentors story By Megan KaMericK photos By gene peach Joshua Perea y Otero was just three when he worked on his first art piece. His grandfather Carlos Otero was building a massive altar installation, and Joshua diligently sanded it. “Ever since I was little, I wanted to do work like my grandpa,” Joshua said. “When he told me I was old enough to join him, I screamed like a little girl.” He’s a quick learner. Last year, at age 9, Joshua took the top prize for his age division in Traditional Spanish Market for a bulto of Our Lady of St. John of the Lakes. His Cristo Crucificado won both the top Youth Awards in the Woodcarving and the People’s Choice categories. “It’s fun,” Joshua said. “I like to put my feelings into it. If I’m mad, I ask my grandpa if I can work. If something happened very terrible and I can’t get my mind off of it, I’ll do art.” As his market mentor, Carlos is passing on his knowledge in history, genealogy and artistic techniques. “This art surpasses the visual,” Carlos said. “It has history, a story of people in real time. They set a standard of morality for all these people to follow.” The two divide up their work areas within Carlos’ sprawling house on Albuquerque’s west side. It’s full of books on Spanish colonial art that they consult often. In a notebook they share, Joshua works on sketches that his grandfather then critiques. Carlos adds photos, journal entries and nuggets of wisdom such as, “Keep a steady hand, especially when doing faces and hands.” In one passage, he tells his grandson to study the saints: “They teach us how to be holy, how to be kind, how to share, how to be helpful, respect, patience and many other things that show us how to be better human beings. Amen!” The two gather cottonwood roots along the Rio Grande for their carvings. Carlos has schooled Joshua in making gesso, the white coating used on retablos before painting. For varnish, they soak piñon pods in alcohol. They find the ingredients for their pigments as well, such as malachite, golden earth and walnuts. Artists can also buy natural pigments, but Carlos wants Joshua to learn how the traditional colors are made. The techniques all take remarkable patience. But that’s something Joshua seems to have in spades. There is a calmness about him that belies his tender years. “He’s naturally easy-going and mellow,” Carlos said.

This year’s Spanish Market will feature about 50 youth artists. Maggie Magalnick, director of Spanish Market, said the Youth Division began in 1981 as part of the mission to preserve, promote and educate about the Spanish colonial arts in New Mexico. The artists must be ages 7 to 17, have ties to New Mexico and be at least onethird Hispanic. And they must work with an adult artist mentor throughout the year. Marcos Ray Serna’s foray into Spanish colonial art started in 8th grade. His father, Ray, is a furniture maker and was redoing an antique bench. Marcos drew on some leftover wood pieces and Ray showed them to his co-worker, a santero named Dominic Martinez, who suggested Marcos join a group of wood carvers. He is Marcos’ official market mentor this year, but many others have guided the 17-year-old, including master santero Alcario Otero. “They want to push me to get better,” Marcos said. “They don’t want this to die out.” Martinez said Marcos is dedicated and does well: “What’s nice about this type of artwork is it’s real forgiving because in a sense it’s folk art, so even if things are a

little rough or crude, as long as that comes from the heart then it’s all good.” Marcos earned the Best in Youth Division Award for ages 15 to 17 for his bulto of the Virgen de Guadalupe, which he dubbed Guadalupe of the Americas. It also won the Best in Show/Emilio and Senaida Romero Memorial Award in 2012. He chose green for the virgin’s robes rather than the traditional blue in honor of his paternal grandmother, who was from Mexico and had given his father an Our Lady of Guadalupe statue with green robes before she died. Marcos takes inspiration from the stories of his favorite saints, including San Lorenzo, who was martyred when Roman authorities demanded the riches of the church. He infuriated them by presenting what he called the true riches — the poor, the lame, the lost. The story resonates for Marcos, who volunteers with the church and enjoys meeting different people, such as those at a shelter struggling with addictions. “You can sit down and talk to them and you learn a lot more,” he said. “Each one has a different story.” The Rio Rancho teen juggles all this with cross-country sports and maintaining a 4.1 grade average. During the winter, he devotes his attention to carving bultos. In the summer, it’s retablos, which are less time-intensive, although they still require making traditional gesso because collectors will know,
according to Marcos. “It’s a whole art too,” he said. “If you screw up on the temperature, you get bubbles.” One buyer wanted to know what Marcos would do with the money he got from selling his art. The rudeness of the question didn’t faze him, though. He explained it would help pay for college. “The cool thing is they come back and bring more people,” he said. Martinez believes young people like Marcos will keep cultural traditions alive: “He’ll keep carving, and then maybe someday he’ll have kids or will teach other young kids to keep the tradition growing.” Marcos plans to continue making art, but has set his sites on pharmacy school. Joshua’s goal is to be a full-time artist like his grandfather. Magalnick says maintaining cultural heritage and traditions is the most important part of the Youth Division in Spanish Market, even if someone doesn’t become a professional artist. “By learning technique and what goes into it, there is an appreciation,” she said. “And not only do we need artists, we need patrons.” These young artists also learn life lessons. Magalnick pointed out that “how to relate to people, how to talk to people, how to put yourself out there and market yourself … [these are] very important lessons we don’t necessarily learn in school.”

Cutting-edge show grows in prestige
Gene peach
By Kay LocKridge Now in its 27th year, the Contemporary Hispanic Market has grown in both prestige and numbers. Artists new to the show must be selected by a jury of their peers, and established artists’ work is reviewed by a jury periodically, thereby ensuring “the high quality of the art presented [at market] each year,” said Ramona Vigil-Eastwood, chair of Contemporary Hispanic Market. “Getting selected to the market one year does not guarantee showing for life.” Matthew Gonzales, Contemporary Hispanic Market public relations and advertising chair, noted that of the 135 artists in this year’s show, 23 are new to the market, chosen from 71 applicants for the open spaces. The newcomers were selected by an independent, three-member panel in a ‘blind judging’ of their work. “We had a lot of great work coming in this year,” Gonzales enthused. “I’ve been involved with the Contemporary Hispanic Market for 10 years, as both an artist and administrative volunteer, and the artwork just keeps getting better and better over the years.” Gonzales stressed that the Contemporary Hispanic Market does not have and never has had any paid staff: “The market is run by artists, for artists, and the staff is composed entirely of volunteers who care very much about contemporary Hispanic art and the artists who create it, as well as the collectors who love it.” Income is produced from booth fees; the artists keep 100 percent of their income earned during the market. Special items from the Contemporary Hispanic Market, including signed posters from the event, will be sold at the market booth at the corner of Marcy Street and Lincoln Avenue. Marketgoers can also bid on silent auction items at the booth. Winners do not need to be present at the Sunday auction closing. Food vendors will offer tasty treats during the show on lower Palace Avenue at the Food Court, which is shared with the Traditional Spanish Market that holds forth on the Plaza. Adding to the market’s festive atmosphere, guitarist Jeremiah Martinez will stroll the length of Lincoln Avenue from Palace Avenue to Federal Place during the two days. Gonzales suggested that the two markets, Traditional Spanish and Contemporary Hispanic, “complement each other. One… honors and reflects the history and culture of Spanish colonial art, while the other ... showcases today’s — and tomorrow’s — Hispanic culture and art. …[T]he approach and execution of the two art forms are very different, yet simpatico.” Visitors to this year’s Contemporary Hispanic Market will find both old friends and newcomers among the artists. Three artists provide their perspectives on the market.
34 2013 Spanish Market
SaNdra dUraN WiLSoN, Multi-media paintings and works on paper Now a veteran of 14 years in the Contemporary Hispanic Market, Duran Wilson noted, “I was still working my ‘day job’ when I got accepted into the market [in 2000], and it gave me a fantastic opportunity to exhibit my work…[giving it] exposure to a wide audience from all over the country.” The hard-working artist plans to have approximately 30 paintings and 20 unframed works on paper in various sizes ranging from miniatures to large works at this year’s market. She handles all aspects of her art, from creation to promotion. “A successful artist must approach their work as a professional,” Duran Wilson said. “…it is a part of my path as an artist to share not only my art but also my knowledge. This is why I write arttechnique books [her fourth, written with artist Darlene Olivia McElroy, will be published early next year], make DVDs and teach workshops around the world and also online. “I find that this three-legged approach to art sales, publishing and teaching gives me a strong system to survive the wild fluctuations of the art market,” Duran Wilson added. “I work very hard, but I feel blessed to be able to do what I love every day. The people I meet, both collectors and students, become a part of my art family. We have kindred souls all over the world.” Besides exhibiting her work at the market, Pippin Contemporary Gallery on Canyon Road is featuring Duran Wilson’s art in this month’s show, Beneath the Surface. She also shows and sells her work with the Santa Fe Society of Artists throughout the summer. To see more of Duran Wilson’s work, visit www.sandraduranwilson.com.
PAZ, Jewelry This long-time community activist of indigenous and Hispanic descent is an artist of many talents, including sculpture, painting and jewelry — all of which he began more than 40 years ago. “Jewelry was my first [artistic] endeavor, and that’s what I’ll have at the market,” PAZ says. “I’ll have many, many pieces — hundreds, in fact — and there will be a wide price range. I love my work, and I’m very prolific,” he commented. PAZ began at Contemporary Hispanic Market eight years ago and has skipped only one or two markets since then. “I particularly like this market, because I think it showcases the best in Hispanic and Indo-Hispanic art in New Mexico,” he said, adding that he does a variety of both Hispanic and Indian art shows around the country throughout the year, including the Spanish Market at the Heard Museum in Phoenix in November. “I really enjoy meeting and talking with visitors and collectors, particularly custom work in which we collaborate. Overall, I view art as medicine or therapy; I like to think that people feel better when they look at [my art],” PAZ said.
BIEN IRIZARRY, Sculpture A newcomer to the Contemporary Hispanic Market, Irizarry said he wants to “involve myself more in the community of artists,” and participating in the market is a beginning in that effort. “I want to represent myself more, because I’ve come to believe it’s important for the artist to sell his own work.” “Before, I wanted to just live the creative life and let galleries do the selling, but I’m looking forward to the challenge of ‘closing the deal’ myself. It won’t be easy, but I’m excited at the prospect of putting myself and my work out there,” Irizarry said. He began his work with bronze but has turned to wood and clear acrylics, adding that he sculpts because of the three dimensions that allow him to interact with creation and the telling of a story. His current focus, as visitors to his booth at the market will see, is birds. “I love working with birds; they’re universal and timeless,” Irizarry noted. “Most people feel a connection with birds; I know I do.” He expects to have eight bird sculptures with a wide range of sizes and prices at market. Following the Contemporary Hispanic Market, Irizarry will travel to Loveland, Colorado, for the annual Sculpture in the Park show.
DETAILS The Contemporary Hispanic Market festivities begin with a Preview Night/Awards Party from 5:30-8 p.m. Friday (July 26) at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center (201 W. Marcy St.). The free event features music by guitarist Jeremiah Martinez and pianist Elliott Hiele, with special dance performances by Dance Station. Real Burger will cater the party. The free two-day market, presented on Lincoln Avenue adjacent to the Plaza, runs from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday (July 27) and from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday (July 28). For more information visit www.contemporaryhispanicmarket.com. The Contemporary Hispanic Market artists display their work on Lincoln Avenue.

Poster artist’s images rock Contemporary painter hopes to appeal to a new generation
Photos and story By Cheryl a. Fallstead When she first brought her artwork to the Contemporary Hispanic Market, Pamela Enriquez-Courts confided, she was terrified: “I was intimidated by the caliber of art I had seen there the year before.” Many of those artists, she noted, came from generations of fine artists. Five years later, however, this first-generation artist’s modern take on Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music, has been selected for the official Contemporary Hispanic Market poster. Enriquez-Courts is well known in Las Cruces and nearby Mesilla for her depictions of Day of the Dead scenes and, more recently, her paintings of saints. Those who know her art recognize that her scenes are always filled with joy. She said, “After I visited a Día de los Muertos event in Mesilla, I was driven to paint my own vision of it, which was meant to be joyful and celebratory.” Her figures, she explained, are always happy and doing the things in death they loved to do in life. The Las Cruces artist has roots that run deep in New Mexico, even though she has only lived in the state nine years. Both her maternal and paternal greatgrandparents emigrated from Mexico to Las Cruces. The families later moved to Los Angeles, where Enriquez was born. Growing up in a family of laborers in Los Angeles, Enriquez-Courts’ love of art began at the knee of her grandmother, who would sew unique dresses without using a pattern. As a child, Enriquez-Courts’ passions for art and her Mexican-Indian heritage were nurtured. She was fascinated with history and historical fashion and began drawing seriously as a teen. She was also inspired to learn more about people and events related to her heritage, such as César Chávez and his work with migrant farm workers, which became the subject of one of her early paintings. After a divorce, Enriquez-Courts found herself a busy single mother raising two children. Carving out time for art was difficult, but her daughter Andie still enthuses about the one-of-a-kind Little Mermaid costume her mother created for her and the mural that covered her childhood bedroom. It wasn’t until she moved to New Mexico with her husband Garland Courts that she was able to make art her full-time job. She first sold her creations at the Las Cruces Farmers and Craft Market and special events in Mesilla. She now sells at art events around the Southwest, creating joyful representations of saints and Día de los Muertos scenes. Some of her saints, like Cecilia, are intended not only to express a joy of life, but also to make a connection with a group that might not feel close to these saints of long ago: young people. Enriquez-Courts said, “We need new saints that stand for the same thing.” In line with this goal, last year she created a new take on Michael the Archangel by painting a powerful young woman warrior, Saint Michaela. This year she painted Saint Cecilia, a young woman who said angels sang to her and, after her martyrdom, became the patron saint of music. Enriquez-Courts portrays her as a young woman with flowing hair and a glowing spirit, rocking out on a modern guitar and wearing a short skirt. She’s obviously not your grandmother’s Saint Cecilia, but grandmother may love her just the same. Enriquez-Courts said of her guitar-strumming Saint Cecilia surrounded by punk-style cherubs, “With Cecilia I wanted to portray not so much the actual saint herself, the martyr Cecilia, but I wanted to show her spirit. I wanted her to be joyful and expressive. I wanted her music, which I feel is the voice of God, to come out and be joyful and make everybody feel the spirit of it.” Despite some tough times and challenges in life, Enriquez-Courts always stays true to her heart and her art, while retaining her sense of humor. Of her Saint Cecilia, Enriquez-Courts said, “She’s playing and her eyes are closed because she is singing her faith. Her faith comes out in her music. And her angels are rocking out because I always have to have some humor in it.” To see more of her paintings on wood, visit www.pamelaenriquezcourts.com. 2013 Spanish Market 37

Remarkable Collection of Former Prime Minister of Peru donated to the Spanish Colonial Arts Society.
Silver filigree baskets from Ayacucho, gilded frames from Cuzco, reverse-painted glass from Cajamarca, folding screens from Korea and China, porcelain tableware from France, silver-plated dessert settings from London—these were just some of the furnishings found in the elegant home of Miriam and Pedro Beltrán in Lima in the 1950s where dignitaries from around the world were entertained. The collection amassed by the Beltráns, guided by Miriam’s artistic eye, reflects not only their international life style, but their abiding interest in and passion for Peru. Side-byside with European and Asian golden age furnishings are pieces emblematic of Peru and its history. Selected to be Peru’s Ambassador to the U.S., Peru’s Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, and editor and publisher of Peru’s highly regarded newspaper, La Prensa, Beltrán was the quintessential Peruvian gentleman. A lifelong advocate of free speech, he was awarded Columbia School of Journalism’s prestigious Maria Moors Cabot Award for Freedom of the Press. Beltran’s economic reforms during his tenure as Minister of Finance stabilized Peru’s economy and mobilized the middle class. Miriam, a Junior Economic Analyst for the Department of State and a founding member of Lima’s Museum of Fine Arts, was no less passionate about her adopted country. Their story and collection will be on view starting June 22 at the Museum of Spanish Colonial Art.
