The work and the space are brilliant. Such a fresh modern take on timeless subject matter. Look closely, the method is completely unique. A real must see.

What an amazing gallery! Beautiful paintings and photography adorn the walls of this fabulous space. The quality of art is a must see for any who want unique pieces with exquisite depth, which is both pleasing and appealing to the soul...

Grant Hayunga’s work is extraordinary. The exotic creatures he creates are both otherworldly and unparalleled as they entice you to step closer. Grant’s work is especially unique because after I inquired, I discovered that decades ago when he attended Rhode Island School of Design he invented the processes he uses in executing his magnificent compositions. Viewing these works in person is an immersive experience, compelling you to step into the world of the elegant and majestic creatures he brings to life. Elizabeth DeCicco’s photos share wild magical moments she captures of the elegant beauties that inhabit and promenade throughout our earth. Elizabeth’s photography depicts scenes taken of subjects from her extensive world travels. I especially enjoyed her exceptional photographs of Africa’s beautiful people and wildlife and her extraordinary photos of horses splashing in the marsh. The Grant Hayunga Gallery is a must for art collectors to visit when in Sante Fe. It is one of the most exciting galleries I’ve seen. Seeing the works these artists depict is truly an incredible experience.

I had an amazing experience late in the day at Grant Hayunga's gallery. The smell of the blooming jasmine on the porch greeted me as I walked into a perfectly curated space. The traditional adobe building with fireplace and exposed log beams was hung with Grant Hayunga's paintings and Elizabeth DeCicco's photographs along with the just the right amount of adornments - a chaise lounge here, a few pieces of rustic furniture there, a single deer antler, a friendly gallery dog and a perfectly positioned chandelier lamp next to one of Elizabeth's beautiful horse photos. It was quiet and I wandered through the gallery, my steps creaking on the ancient wood floor to find Grant painting in the furthest room. He stopped after a moment and we talked for a long while about his varied but connected series of work and his inspirations. Eventually Elizabeth turned up and after some conversation about her work, Grant was at the guitar and amp in the corner. A musician as well as a painter, he started to play, lost in his own world. Eventually Elizabeth joined him in song and I received the amazing gift of a brief concert with an audience of one. It was the most unique gallery experience I've ever had, surrounded by song, art and ambience.

The building sits directly on Canyon Road with jasmine plants and a bench on a long porch. It's a place where you can meet the artist who is working with fur and beeswax and oil, among other mediums. Gorgeous quintessential Santa Fe adobe building. There is a gorgeous and raw poem about Hayunga's work on the wall by Santa Fe Poet Laureate, Jon Davis. DeCicco's stunning prints are all on metal and represent her travels and love of humanity and animals. Hayunga also plays music many times throughout the day (he is also a musician/singer and DeCicco is a singer). If you time it right, he is working on something in the back room! Geronimo restaurant is nearby and so is The Compound.
