A LOVELY SLOW AFTERNOON
Galisteo, New Mexico is just a short drive from Santa Fe and is home to an amazing community of artists and writers. We were invited into the studio & gardens of Clay Artist Priscilla Hoback - she shows at the Nedra Matteucci Gallery in Santa Fe - and Deborah Madison - prolific cookbook author and long-time member of Slow Food, It was a wonderful afternoon that I captured with my camera...
Priscilla Hoback and Daughter Denise graciously welcomed us to Priscilla's gallery/ studio housed in the front rooms of a wonderful adobe house filled with art and a wonderful patio and garden out back.
Priscilla's glazed clay murals are handsome and this one shows her
passion for horses - she owns three beauties.
Her working studio is in the room adjacent to her gallery.
A charming patio and garden await out back.
And, lots of animals...
When we finished our tour of the gallery and studio we walked outside to the patio where we were served lovely sparkling wine and wonderful nibbles - prepared by Chef's from the Legal Tender Restaurant in Lamy...
Executive Chef, Charles Thompson
And, Sous Chef, Armand Saila
The appetizers were wonderful - the ingredients sourced from local growers.
Everyone had a fabulous time...
And a special thanks to Cookbook Author extraordinare Deborah Madison - founder of Slow Food Santa FE for showing us her gardens...
A GRAND TIME!
