Michael McCormick’s Hidden Treasures

  Upon entering the Michael McCormick Gallery one is greeted by Miguel Martinez Madonnas and Malcolm Furlow psychedelic Indians but if you ignore the obvious and keep going, this particular gallery has a wealth of hidden treasures. Jose Canencia is from Mexico City but time spent in Spain, France and England, studying the Masters and…

Sam’s Shop

  I have a soft spot for Sam’s where I once worked for a bit during the early 80’s while pregnant with my youngest daughter. The original owner Sam Parks had a great eye and an even better buyer; Janice “Light” Harrison was an early hippie immigrant from Chicago and a master beader whose flawless beaded pieces…

Summer Of The Red Willow

It’s not often that two immensely talented and well known artists of these men’s stature join forces to create what is known in Rock and Roll parlance as a Super Group, especially if they hail from Indian Country. Although they had performed together once, live on Channel 7 News N.M. in 1990 and both Industry…

The Taos Inn

  Home to The Adobe Bar and the famed Doc Martin’s Restaurant, The “Inn” as it is affectionately referred to by locals, is an historical landmark in Taos.   The hotel is actually made up of several adobe houses dating back to the 1800’s, which were built around a small plaza with a central well,…

Shree Yoga Taos

One of the most wonderful things about being a student of yoga is enjoying the beautiful environments, and unique aesthetics of the yoga studios in which classes are taught. Yoga studios in general are designed with great care to the aesthetic experience, which infuses the yogi’s practice with more appreciation for the beauty of diversity…

Tom Dixon

Tom has lived and worked in this studio for three decades or so watching the town grow into unrecognizable proportions. Tucked behind one of the oldest watering holes in Taos off one of the main drags, Taos Plaza is a walk away but inside Tom’s world one could be anywhere.

The Love Apple

  This sweet and very hot spot is the brainchild of Jen Hart. This beautiful, chic young mother and entrepreneur, grew up here in Taos and managed the highly acclaimed Joseph’s Table, before opening The Love Apple.   Informed by her travels to Europe and Paris in particular, Jen’s exquisite aesthetic and attention to detail,…

Iron Horse

“When the opportunity presented itself, I suggested that the Town of Taos change the name of Kit Carson Park to Red Willow Park to honor the people of the Red Willow. I made the suggestion to kindle a conversation about one-sided perspectives that are more often than not, “his – story” not history…and I’m certain…

Welcome to taoStyle

During the 80’s, when I lived in NYC, I co-published and edited an Indie music zine called X-Posure. It covered the Anti-Folk scene on the Lower East Side, that Mainstream Music Media by and large ignored, except for Jon Pareles at the New York Times. Mr. Pareles wrote about Anti-Folk because I somehow persuaded him…
