Honoring Art in Nature and Nature in Art
You are invited to explore our hand-selected sampling of regional arts that promote and assist many talented local artisans through our genuine “Fair Trade” practices
Our “boutique” gallery is conveniently located in our Common Room/Library
We specialize in authentic Zuni fetishes and larger stone sculptures, cottonwood carvings, paintings and pottery; local Navajo rugs, paintings and jewelry; Hopi cottonwood carvings and yucca baskets & rattles; contemporary watercolor, acrylic and oil paintings by local artists
We dedicate this page to our dear friend, Dwight Mahooty, whom we lost to cancer in 2012. Dwight was a very talented wood carver from Zuni Pueblo and was Sheri’s “Right Hand Man” for several years helping with many projects around the B&B. He is missed but his gentle and creative spirit lives on through his many, unique hand-carved pieces of cottonwood art.
We personally know the more than 40 artists that we represent and directly purchase pieces that meet our standards of quality. The only consigned works are some of our paintings at 15% ~ the artist receives the balance.
We are a small, personable establishment. If you are interested in an item offered in our Fair Trade Gallery, please give us a call at 800-856-5776. We accept all major credit cards and will take your information over the phone for the purchase of your selected, one-of-a-kind artwork (if still available). We thank you for your support and look forward to talking with you.
