Murals by Brett-Morgan
I'm a New Mexican artist who specializes in folk art style paintings inspired by my New Mexican and Scandinavian roots. I found my calling for murals through volunteering with Santuario de Karuna, an animal sanctuary in Tijeras, when I painted Saint Francis on their chicken coop. I love celebrating the imperfect symmetry of nature and the wildlife and culture of New Mexico!

High Desert Barn Quilts
I am High Desert Barn Quilts. I’m addicted, obsessed, possessed and excited about barn quilts. If you have ever driven East of the Mississippi River you would have seen 1000’s of barn quilts. There are auto barn quilt trail tours meandering thru many of the great small towns of America. The stories about each quilt are a part of our US history. I have a goal of an auto barn quilt trail winding thru NM’s small quant towns bringing in tourism and conversation. Barn quilts have evolved! They are not just for barns anymore! They can decorate your home (inside or out), she shed, man cave or office!

As an arts educator for over 20 years, she has spent the majority of those years teaching in New Mexico. Through her art, she creates a connection between the tactile and metaphysical. Ida explores the transcendence of the natural environment through concepts of color, light, and design.
