red pepper r4 c2Have you looked at the walls at Farm & Table recently? If not, it might be time to look again! We are constantly featuring different local artists here at the restaurant; the art on our walls changes every three months.

Right now, for just one more month, you can see the vivid paintings of artist James Bolton. James is a talented painter from the Espanola Valley, and he studied English, Geology and Art at the University of New Mexico. After a tour in the army, he earned his Masters’ Degree in Art at UNM as well. He then moved to San Francisco where he regularly exhibited at the Hank Baum Gallery and taught Art at Stanislaus State University and San Jose State University. He was also a Guest Artist at Texas Tech University and Kent State University.

Since returning New Mexico, he has shown his work locally at Exhibit 208 and also out-of-state. He has work in various public collections including Yale University Art Gallery, Achenbach Foundation for the Graphic Arts in San Francisco, AT&T in New York, and Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque.

Check out more of his art on his webpage. Appropriately, many of the works hanging in the restaurant now are Bolton’s striking paintings of fruit. Or just come into Farm & Table and see them for yourself!
