Collecting by Feeling in New Mexico | Santa Fe News

A New Mexico art collector, who moved there in the 90s, builds his collection not by market trends but by instinct—buying only art that delivers a jolt of emotion. Through deep engagement with local museums, artists, and curators, he’s learned to value education, support living creators, and cap purchases at $5,000 per piece to diversify his acquisitions. His collection now spans decades and styles, from regional pioneers to cutting-edge contemporary artists, and he’s letting his existing works guide future purchases—letting the collection evolve organically.
