artists need to be extremely careful working with this gallery. Kathie will accuse you of things…read morethat are not true and won't let you defend yourself. she trapped my artwork in her contract when she stopped promoting me after the show ended, 30 days Of hanging 12 months for online sales. when I asked her to remove my artwork from her site, She said I am "desperate" and "unhealthy." I am desperate to get her out of my life. she demanded that I give her links to all the content I wanted removed and then she threatened to tell the cops I was harassing her. I have had to sign up for social account to show her the content she needs to remove and she is still bulling me telling me my artwork didn't sell well. I thought you paid the gallery for that service. we as artist pay 40%-50% of our sales for galleries services. If she decided to stop promoting me why hold onto my paintings? To be cruel, that's why. Horrible experience that she is drawing out. please be careful artist. Her behavior ended my desire to be an artist entirely and I quit showing when I recovered the last of my physical items she was holding hostage. Today she is still making it impossible to remove my artwork from her Facebook, Instagram and multiple website. if this isn't bulling, I have no idea what is.....if my artwork is such trash, why are you fighting to remove it From your advertising? The reality is if she just removed what I sent over, she probably would have spent less time then all this back and fourth. She instead sent the attached email which was not necessary at all. I was never trying to get anything from her but for her to remove my property. she took the opportunity to accuse me of backdoor sales and insisting on early payment. Neither of those are true. She wouldn't help me get away from a cruel person running the desk and she wouldn't let me end the "professional" relationship. I have extreme social anxiety and there is no way that I offered someone buy artwork directly from me. The front desk person accusing me of backdoor sales called my artwork "cheap." When I brought this to Kathie's attention, she told me to "direct all questions to the gallery." meaning working with the person that was bulling me. She believed her without question and treated me like trash. I showed at the gallery in multiple group shows for years with no problems. This girl was there for a matter of months And Kathie didn't even talk to me about it. She believed that girl that was trying to get rid of me. My cease and desist letter stated I would have to alert media outlets if she ended up behaving badly. She felt the need to bully me more....that is how I "threatened her" I had to threaten her with legal action. This is nuts this was her reaction to taking the images of me and my work down. As you can see she says it is. after all of this treatment, six years later she is still linking my name to her site. The links she created are still active. She removed the archival work but not the advertising. I didn't ask for a new contract or money or any of the crazy things she thought appropriate to accuse me of. Luckily I no longer wish to be an artist So her slander no longer affects me....other then I am trying to protect my privacy and still working hard to remove content that I own.

My mood dramatically altered today, wandering into the little den of deformity that is the Stranger…read moreFactory. I'd been pacing the sidewalks of Route 66, seriously bumming out on the scars and pangs and aches of Albuquerque Rapid Transit construction, and I was really worried about the future of Nob Hill. And I'd been meaning to pop into Stranger Factory for the better part of, oh, two years, but they're closed on Mondays and Tuesdays and that's when I tend to visit the 'hood. Today was an exception, and I was exceptionally swooned. Simply put, I absolutely love every gift and piece these guys stick on the wall. With a similar sensibility to Santa Fe's Meow Wolf, the voice of the work in this gallery is sly, enveloping, winsome, somehow innocent, and deliciously dark. The sculptures, paintings and curiosities simply must be seen to be only somewhat understood, and I'm really impressed that the focus around here isn't about selling shiny objects, it's about showcasing incredible artists that would otherwise remain stuck on some website somewhere. I honestly feel like I have to make this shop my go-to for gifting, prices are reasonable and some of this s*it is just brilliant. I also couldn't help but note the coincidental cultural obsession with Stranger Things, which is starting a second season. Like the show, this gallery doesn't compel us with content so much as mood, context, tone. I left the store with a handful of goodies and the strong impression that, A.R.T. construction be goddamned, with businesses like Stranger Factory on main street, Nob Hill will always be a jewel of the Duke City.

The staff is very friendly and helpful, the place is squeaky clean and cool, there are clean bathrooms and a water fountain onsite, with plenty of parking in the lot. IMPORTANT NOTE: This place is hard to find on maps and most GPS systems. The address does not work. The official mailing address does not work on GPS systems or even on a map, its a MailIng Address only: 3650A Highway 528 Rio Rancho, New Mexico 87144 Google Maps on the website does not work, Google does not accurately place this location at all, do not use it. This has been verified by all the visitors that use Google Maps or Droid phones/Tablets Apple Maps on your Mac, iPhone or iPad do work precisely, but when you get there you will need to actually look at the screen to see that the building is a block east of 528 (i.e. you cant see that the building is not actually on 528 and the streets are not marked), just drive down the narrow (unmarked) street and watch the Map app, you'll see the building on the right side. J&R Vintage Auto Museum really is a block South of 550, and a block East of 528 in Rio Rancho near the intersection of 528 and 550. The official mailing address is on 528 but the building is not there, the building actually on a small street a block away from that map address. In reality its close to the intersection of. Christopher and Gabby Lane but neither one of those show up on any maps. The best way to find it if you don't have an iPhone is to simply use the GPS coordinates 35.323084,-106.571464 If you type that (accurately) in the search window of your iPhone or iPad's Maps app then it will place you right in the parking lot for the museum. If you can't do that then map your way to Montoya Road and 528 which is the the nearest major intersection that actually shows up on most maps. Turn East on Montoya Road then take the first street on the left then make the forst right. The building is on the right. http://www.jrvintageautos.com
