Some of Barry McCuan’s earliest memories are of a camping trip to Pecos in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains just to the east of Santa Fe.
For a
young boy, growing up on the Llano Estacado, the mountains were like paradise.
This memory spurred Barry to make Santa Fe his home, where he has lived, studied, taught
and painted for over 30 years.
He is best known for his distinctive handling of Santa Fe’s old adobe houses, fall scenes, and the canyons and rock formations found all over Northern New Mexico. |
