Fantastic experience! We learned so much about art on Canyon Road in Santa Fe! We especially enjoyed “The Art of Looking.”

Best 2 hours i have ever spent looking at art! Mary was full of stories and insights the time flew by. Her background in art history as a professor and PhD was evidenced by the depth she was able to go on any subject we brought up, while at the same time keeping it at a level that a novice could understand. She has changed how I appreciate art and has given us some great tools to use in the future. I highly recommend this tour. It will transform wandering from gallery to gallery not understand how certain pieces can be called "art" into a fascinating dive into the minds of the artists and the society they are reflecting in their work.
