About Santa Fe

We are currently featuring a large collection of work from Robert Cherry, a self-taught artist from Placitas, New Mexico who creates magnificent turned wooden structures inlaid with natural turquoise. Among the pieces we have available includes the largest one he has ever or will ever create. The large wooden sculpture is simply titled “Arizona Sunset”, and displays intricate light and dark striations that are accented by ribbons of inlaid turquoise. The vessel is truly a sight to behold and as stunning as any museum sculpture.

Robert Cherry has been making these beautiful vases for more than twenty years. He begins his creative process with choosing the “perfect” piece of wood, making sure there are defective areas that can be later filled with bright blue turquoise. Each piece is then carefully hand-carved inside and out taking anywhere from 40 hours to one year to complete. The final artistic touch is a robust color and refined hand-buffed finish.

These pieces are gaining in popularity and we currently have a large selection that changes frequently. Come see the exquisite works of art for yourself and get your Robert Cherry turned wooden vase today
