A private stairway under the branches of an old elm tree, leads to this second floor, spacious junior suite with views on three sides of Taos Mountain, the Sangre de Cristo Range, and the historic residential La Loma Plaza, circa 1790. Named for local artist Carey Moore who painted here, Carey's Studio is a bright, open space, with handcrafted furniture, a large wood burning fireplace, leather sofa that can be made into a sleeper, window seat bancos, mini-kitchenette, and a table and chair area.
Carey Moore (1926 - 2011) enjoyed a career in theater on both coasts before settling in Taos in 1978 to pursue her artistic passion as a visual artist. A beloved Taos painter, Carey’s deep, vibrant palette spoke volumes of her artistic approach: “…you must be aware of the dramatic moment and persuade your audience to that same awareness so that they want to return for a second look.”
