Music From Angel Fire Poster Artist


I think I may have mentioned back in February that I had been chosen to be the 2009 poster artist for Music From Angel Fire. This chamber music festival is one of the very best in the country. In the 26 years of the festival's existence, I am the first Angel Fire artist chosen. Really famous artists have graced the festival's posters and printed programs. Needless to say, I was very honored to be chosen.

The above image "Evening Colors" is the piece on the program and on the poster. It looks really cool with the design work done on the program--maybe when I get one I'll post it for you. It is one of my oil pastels done on the cradled panel 30 inches square on a 2 inch deep panel. I'm donating the original to the Music From Angel Fire art auction, which takes place on August 30th. It has a retail price of $2700. If anyone is truly interested in it, contact me and I'll see if I can arrange a surrogate bidder.

The Music From Angel Fire office is open now, so if you need a poster, give them a buzz 575-377-3233 or 888-377-3300 through September 5th. They are $30 unsigned and $40 signed, plus shipping. Remember I DON'T DO PRINTS of my work, so if you need something to cover a big piece of wall and can't afford the original, this is your chance.

  1. The original is spectacular and Jenn is an artists with a very generous heart. This festival was supported for many early years by her loving in-laws Bruce and Ruth Lawrence and Aunt, Margaret Cardwell.

  2. It is definitely spectacular to see an Angel Fire artist on a Music from Angel Fire poster. Not all noteworthy artists are from Taos.

    congratulations.

  6. Jennifer: I met you down in san Antonio last year at the Southwest Craft Center. I currently live in Taos. I have some friends coming up this weekend and I think we'll be coming through Angel Fire at some point. Where can we see your art? Do you have any on display in Taos? Hal Landrum 210-710-5589. Thanks.
