Artistry, craft, wit and whimsy have been hallmarks of Karen Melfi Collection since its Santa Fe debut on August 1, 1989. Mariposa/Santa Fe, as KMC was first known, was the dream child of Karen Melfi and her mentors/partners, Peg Cronin and Fay Abrams of Albuquerque's ground-breaking Mariposa Gallery. Over the ensuing years, that ever-whirling wind of change swept through Karen Melfi Collection often enough - Peg and Fay left to revitalize old, and explore new, interests. Renamed, Karen Melfi Collection expanded into the gallery space next door. Wearable Art has been added to our evolving collections of contemporary jewelry, ceramics, and mixed media pieces. Fearlessly, we bought a computer.
