Studio Verde ~ Reserve New Mexico

Posted On September 13, 2019

A new business opened July 4, 2019 in Reserve, NM. Studio Verde, an art gallery, opened its doors to the public. Studio Verde proprietress, Joan Cartales, describes her gallery concept as a fun space to promote both local artists and personal growth through movement. Studio Verde primarily shows local artists from Catron County, although there are a few pieces that have snuck in from Grant County.

Pieces in the gallery are in a variety of media, including paintings, leather work, bead work, hand woven rugs, felted pillows, gourds, wood, and metal. There is also a collection of vintage women’s western wear as well as some collectible cowboy artifacts from Mexico. The gallery usually receives new inventory weekly, so our stock is constantly changing. Something new every week!

Also available in the studio are Tammy Marie’s Scrumptious Soaps and Lotions made locally in Cliff, NM. Tammy Marie’s products are pthalate free and scented with essential oils. 100% natural. Testers are available so you can try before you buy.

After relocating to the Village of Reserve two years ago, Joan was struck by the number people producing distinctive art in the area. Having acquired the property at 60 Main Street, Joan is pursuing her vision of transforming Leota Lopez’s Town Shop into a gallery dedicated to local artists and space for the exploration of movement.

The Village of Reserve is located in the heart of Catron County in southwestern New Mexico. Far off the beaten path, Reserve offers a break from the 21st century’s hectic pace of life. A gem set amongst the Tularosa, Saliz, and San Francisco mountains at the edge of the Gila Wilderness in the Gila National Forest.

Reserve is a perfect weekend getaway with fresh air, clean water, and unparalleled views. Reserve boasts three restaurants and lodging options that include motels, B&B’s, cabins, lodges, RV parks, and camping.
