Alvaro Cardona-Hine & Barbara McCauley

Artists of the Month | June 2016

 

Artist Statement

Alvaro Cardona-Hine & Barbara McCauley having exhibited in Los Angeles and Minneapolis/St. Paul, the artists chose to move to Truchas, NM in 1987, an old Hispanic village high in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, in order to have the solitude and quiet in which to pursue and deepen their art.

As part of their creative journey, they decided to abandon the conventional art gallery scene to share and sell their paintings directly to collectors.

Doing so, they discovered that the creative process is not only about making a work of art, but also about its being received, in order for the creative process to be completed. The viewer is therefore part of that process. While they had always known this intellectually, it now became a reality they experienced almost daily. This has had a profound effect on their view of their art and on their appreciation for their patrons.
