Pat is a printer and painter with a soft Alabama accent. He maintains a gallery, on the main street that runs through Taos, in the building next door to his wife, Carmen’s, frame shop.
I photographed Pat in his studio that was nestled at the base of Taos Mountain. Over a span of twenty-two years, Pat created and built this home and studio compound, in Des Montes, a rural community outside of Taos. The pitched-roof, log style house, had large windows and the ever changing landscape (seen through the big bays) have kept him inspired for nearly 30 years. The view was spectacular.
