2001 Patrick McFarlin Signed Lithograph
Born in Arkansas, McFarlin went on to study at the Memphis College of Art, University of Arkansas, Little Rock, and the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland in the late 1960s.
In 1990, he moved to Santa Fe, where he worked for four years on a SITE project painting over three-hundred portraits of people in the city that were exhibited at SITE in 1997.
Now known as a New Mexico landscape and portrait painter, McFarlin favors a rather brushy technique—one that suggests rather than defines the scenes he paints.

"Rio Grande Rythm" Poster 24"x 28"
Rick Young headed west after earning an art degree from Miami University in Ohio. Initially focused on the high country, Rick’s attention shifted to the expansive mesas and canyons of the Southwest after he and his wife built a log cabin in southern Colorado. He has long found his artistic inspiration in the land and peoples of the Southwest. Rick celebrates this region through colorful, rhythmic paintings.
Now retired from a teaching career, Rick paints full-time from his home in Castle Rock, CO. A longtime advocate for our national parks, Rick completed artist residencies at Mesa Verde National Park (2019) and at Capitol Reef National Park (2021). Rick’s landscapes highlight the beauty and inspiration to be found on our public lands.
Rick is represented by Acosta Strong Fine Art on Canyon Road in Santa Fe and by Mirada Fine Art Gallery in Denver.
2024 Evelyne Boren "La Cieneguilla Morada in the Fall"
"La Cieneguilla Morada in the Fall" Poster 24"x 26"
Evelyne Boren (a native of Munich, Germany) enjoys worldwide recognition for her impressionistic art interpretations of life, people and scenes of the Southwest, Mexico and Europe in watercolor and oil paintings. Evelyne’s life reads like an adventure story—from the time she attended school in Switzerland and England, to her move to the United States in 1958 and her stunt work in movies.
Before beginning her full-time professional career as an artist, Evelyne had an aquatic career that included underwater stunt doubling in the James Bond films “Thunderball” and “You Only Live Twice”.
She was the first woman in the world to swim with a killer whale in the movie “Namu the Killer Whale”. She appeared on the television programs “What’s My Line” and “To Tell The Truth”, where no one guessed her profession. She also appeared frequently in the television series “Sea Hunt”, “Aquanauts” and “Flipper” where she helped train the star dolphin.
From these adventures she turned to painting in 1962, while on location filming in the Bahamas. The breathtaking color and beauty of the islands stirred a deep desire within Evelyne to express her feelings on canvas, so she began to paint. Her enthu-siasm, drive and discipline have resulted in a very successful art career. Evelyne has studied with several important artists, but has developed a style that is strictly her own.
In 1990, in Roussillon, France she entered a competition for paintings that used only burnt sienna, raw sienna and yellow ochre pigments that are mined locally. The only foreigner, she won first prize over forty other French artists. In 1997, Evelyne had the honor of having one of her paintings selected for the official Santa Fe Opera Poster. She has more then 4,000 original paintings in private and corporate collections around the world.
Evelyne maintains a permanent studio in Santa Fe, New México and in San Pancho, México.
2023 Robert Striffolino “RIPPLE PLAY"
2023 Robert Striffolino Poster - size 24"x 32"
Robert Striffolino was born in New York in 1950 and was raised on Long Island. Although from his childhood he could draw spontaneously with extraordinary skill, he never took a formal art class, feeling that his drawings were so personal he could allow no one—not even teachers—to interfere with his art.
“The affinity I have always felt toward Nature continues to fuel my creative drive. Painting continues to intrigue and impassion me providing new ways to stretch and grow. For this I am grateful. It has been a constant companion and certainly my major mode of expression throughout the years.” Robert S.
