Ventana Fine Art is located in the historical red brick schoolhouse on Santa Fe's famous Canyon Road. For 35 years, Ventana has enjoyed the reputation as one of the Southwest's premier exhibition spaces, showcasing the best in contemporary American painting and sculpture. Our comfortable sun-filled gallery opens to two inviting, beautifully landscaped sculpture gardens, and visitors are welcomed seven days a week.
In more than 40 years painting horses as metaphors for movement,
strength, and intelligence, Jean Richardson has enjoyed immense success
with every segment of the art-loving world. Richardson's expressive,
abstract compositions radiate energy in motion, with winning color
harmonies, exquisite textural variation, and an optimal visual
distillation of equine essence. Richardson grew up in a cultural
environment that fully appreciates the continuing importance of horses
in human history and the present. Her collectors include people who
have little direct experience with horses, but who feel the same wonder
the artist feels in capturing all the power, speed, and kinetic grace of
horses on canvas. Meet the artist at her opening reception on Friday,
July 12, from 5 to 7 p.m.
