When they first arrived, the historical area of Todos Santos was charming but lacked many amenities. The dusty, unpaved streets were lined with beautiful colonial buildings from the late 1800s and early 1900s, offering a perfect setting for a gallery. They felt the timing was right to open the first gallery in the area, one that would represent a diverse group of artists working in various mediums, including painters, sculptors, and photographers. It took some time to find true artists—those whose lives were dedicated to their craft. Anibal Angulo, Peter Cole, and Francisco Merino became key figures, and they have remained an integral part of the gallery since its opening.
N.E. Hayles is a self-taught artist and writer who has called the small, subtropical oasis town of Todos Santos, Mexico, home since 1990. The stunning, dramatic skies and the tranquil, secluded lifestyle have deeply influenced her work, allowing her to merge the diverse experiences and discoveries of her life into her art.
Known for her distinctive technique, Hayles uses high-end magazine paper to create her signature “paper tile” mosaics. She also works in a variety of mediums, including ceramics, Venetian tile, oil on wood or paper, metal laminate, and mixed media, incorporating gold and silver leafing. Her themes are diverse, ranging from portraits, angels, and icons to landscapes, seascapes, abstracts, architectural subjects, whimsical figures, and custom steel frames, each piece reflecting her unique creative vision.
