  The historic Castaneda Hotel in Las Vegas, New Mexico, was at the heart of the burgeoning tourist train travel industry in the American Southwest around the turn of the 20^th century.  This Harvey House hotel, which had been vacant for some years, was recently purchased and is undergoing renovations.  For me, the golden morning light on the old hotel symbolizes the new energy and excitement that the reawakening of the hotel brings to northern New Mexico.

Kimberly Reed-Deemer grew up in a small town northwest of Chicago. She attended the American Academy of Art in Chicago, eventually continuing her education at Northern Illinois University. After leaving NIU, she worked in portraiture and landscapes, focusing on charcoal, pen and ink drawings, and watercolors.

Upon moving to New Mexico in 2004, and freshly inspired by the cultural and natural landscape of the area, Kimberly returned to fine art full time. Her current body of work includes distinctive interpretations of Southwestern subjects such as Native American, Baile Folklorico, and Flamenco dancers and musicians, as well as evocative landscapes in oil or watercolor with ink, and an ongoing series of the Iron Tribe metal sculptors of New Mexico Highlands University's Art Foundry. 

Kimberly and her husband, a sculptor, work in their home studios in an 1890’s Victorian house they have renovated, located in the rich arts, culture and historic destination of northern New Mexico. 

Kim is represented by The Gallery at the historic art hotel, La Posada de Santa Fe, in Santa Fe, New Mexico.  Her watercolors are available at El Zocalo Gallery on the historic Plaza of Las Vegas, New Mexico.
