An alley in Old Town was once believed to be the center of creativity for our planet.  This is now Carla's Alley.

Carla's studio in Old Town has an interesting  history: Plein air painter Carla Forrest works in the studio that once was Sister Giotto’s. “Every now and then I see this flash  go by,” she says. “It looks like a nun in a habit. I think, Maybe that’s her, checking me out.”

One of our members, Dick Wimberly, made the Santa Fe New Mexican news today, Mar 3. A group of PAPNM members and other Plein Air enthusiasts painted along Acequia Madre yesterday and caught the eye of a local reporter. Good job guys!
