The summer and fall of 2025 are shaping up to be powerful seasons of creativity, culture, and connection—and I’m thrilled to share some exciting updates with you!


¡CHICANAO! Caminos Distintos

I’m honored to be part of the upcoming exhibition ¡CHICANAO! Caminos Distintos at the Millicent Rogers Museum in beautiful Taos, New Mexico.

Opening Reception: June 6, 2025, from 5–7 PM

Exhibition Dates: June 6 – November 2, 2025


This powerful show brings together diverse voices, rich cultural narratives, and bold expressions of identity. I’m so excited to share the space with fellow artists whose work inspires and challenges. Taos in the summer is always magical—this exhibition will make it even more so.


🖤 The Black Lipstick Army Expands...

Behind the scenes, I’ve been deep in the studio, working on brand-new additions to my Black Lipstick Army collection. These pieces continue to explore themes of strength, femininity, resistance, and heritage, evolving the story with new faces and deeper emotion.


✊🏽Debut of New Works – Women’s Art Show

Mark your calendars for October 18, 2025.

I’ll be unveiling these new works in person for the very first time at the Women’s Art Show at the National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque.

Event Hours: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM


This show is always electric—a celebration of women artists, stories, and community. It’s the perfect place to debut the latest evolution of the Black Lipstick Army, and I can’t wait to connect with you there.


Custom Works & Creative Flow

In between prepping for these exhibitions, I’ve also been working on a couple of custom pieces that have brought new inspiration into the mix. These unique projects always remind me of the deeply personal connection art can create.


Thank you for following my journey and supporting my work. Whether you’re in Taos, Albuquerque, or following from afar, I hope to see you at one of these shows—or hear from you online! Stay tuned for sneak peeks of new pieces and more behind-the-scenes updates.

With gratitude and excitement,

Dear Friends,

It’s been quite some time since our last post, and we wanted to take a moment to update you on what’s been happening in our journey.


Last year, we made the bittersweet decision to officially close the Wolf Martinez Gallery due to medical reasons. While it was a difficult choice, we see this transition as a positive one. It has given us more time to focus on what we love most—creating art. Both Manuel and I are deeply committed to this journey as artists, and we are excited for what the future holds.


We dearly miss our talented community of artists and the inspiration that came from showcasing original works in the gallery. The opportunity to meet and connect with patrons from both near and far was truly a gift that we will always cherish.


In the meantime, we’ve been hard at work on new projects! I’ve been developing my series, The Black Lipstick Army, which you can view right here on our site. Manuel is also exploring a new body of work, and we can’t wait to share more with you soon. Looking ahead, we have some exciting shows lined up for 2025—stay tuned for updates here and on our social media pages. Additionally, keep an eye out for pop-up shows in the area! We’re excited to bring our art to new spaces and hope to see you there.


On another note, we’re currently facing some issues with our Etsy shop, which is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. If there’s an item you had your eye on, please don’t hesitate to message us. We’ll be happy to send a secure invoice and ship your piece as soon as possible.


Thank you all for your continued support, love, and encouragement as we embark on this new chapter. Your connection means the world to us.


Warmly,

Wolf Martinez

 
 
 


During the summer months in New Mexico, we would like to inform you about the developments that have taken place since the gallery temporarily closed. This time has been a blend of preparation and creativity for us.


Initially, we have been diligently preparing for the upcoming art exhibitions while also indulging in some well-deserved rest and relaxation. Although the gallery is currently closed, our enthusiasm for art remains strong.


One exciting addition to our collection is the inclusion of new designer toys in our vintage toy chest. We're thrilled to announce the arrival of pieces by renowned artists Ron English and Frank Kosik. These toys not only add depth to our collection but also bring joy to those who appreciate unique artistry in every form.


As for me, Carolyn Wolf, I have been fully engaged in the development of a fresh collection of paintings. These pieces are scheduled to be showcased in October, and I am eager to reveal them to you as the event approaches. Keep an eye out for previews and details about the creative spark behind these artworks.


Artist Manuel is currently preparing for his upcoming exhibition in September. With his dedication and talent, we can expect a captivating and inspiring showcase. Stay tuned for more details and previews as the event draws near.


On a lighter note, the weather in New Mexico has been nothing short of intense lately. The blazing heat makes it challenging for us artists to find our muse during these summer months. However, with exactly 101 days until the arrival of fall, we're eagerly anticipating cooler temperatures and the creative energy they bring.


As always, we're here to support fellow artists and their endeavors. If you have any upcoming art shows that you'd like us to promote, please reach out to us. We're more than happy to help spread the word and celebrate the diverse talents within our artistic community.


Thank you for your continued support and enthusiasm for art. Stay cool, stay inspired, and let's make the most of this vibrant season together.


Warm regards,

Carolyn Wolf
