In an earlier post I noted that this is my fourth visit in three years to Taos and Angel Fire. Countless numbers of times I have driven by the above stain-glass topped sign that denotes the Thom Wheeler Gallery. Usually my attention was on going to some other place. Well, Evin and I finally stopped and were we ever in for a treat.
In his bio it is noted that "Thom Wheeler makes art that springs from a joy of living and an unflinching optimism." In didn't take much more than a minute with Thom to experience the reality of the statement.
Lavinia and Thom's home and studio are well worth the stop. Their infectious optimism made us feel very welcomed.
Above is where you enter their gallery.
Lavinia and Thom rent the quaint building above also.
What a view from their backyard!!
Thom's career began in Houston as sculptor working in stone, wood and metal. In time he also became known for creating aluminum, bronze and copper wall sculptures which he calls "wall jewelry". More recently Thom has taken to painting...
