Today I was in the right place at the right time. I witnessed Michelle Lowden working on her Artist Room at Nativo Lodge while being photographed by the masterful Jeff Caven. Michelle will be part of the Open House Reception at Nativo Lodge January 30, 2015.

Life can change dramatically in a snap. As least it appears to happen like that. If we look back from a significant moment with a open eye, there is a well defined path to the expected and unexpected big moments. When we learn to recognize this path, it can help us see clearly where we are headed. When we see the path which leads up to where we are now, there are questions we can ask ourselves. Do we like the direction our past decisions are leading us? Are we in alignment with our desired destiny? If not, what adjustments shall we make?
I launched the updated version of my website this past week; I am gratefull you found your way here and are with me at this moment. I am hoping you would be so kind and take a quick look around and share with me what you see. Do you like where I am going? Does this new forum fulfill everything you would like to see? What adjustments shall I make?
Your recommendations are greatly needed. No doubt I am overlooking the obvious. In gratitude, a special Promo Code will appear valid until May 10, 2013. Stop by often; I am adding new artwork and content daily. Thank you. - Rhett Lynch
Rhett Lynch Creates Artist Guest Room at Nativo Lodge in Albuquerque

Rhett Lynch (Diné) has been painting, sculpting, writing and acting for over thirty years. His art conveys the stories and experiences of his indigenous heritage as well as provoking thought and emotions. Lynch’s room features a work of art that has 175 prayer ties over the bed, a design that reflects the east morning light and giclee prints on the walls.
Rhett’s praryer tie painting above the bed offers prayers of gratefulness and peace to guests of the room who will sleep under this painting. The large painting on the West wall is a continuation of giving people a visual and spiritual feast and is evocative of Rhett’s work with layering color. Guests will also encounter two pieces on the wall adjacent to the mirror above the sink which will give a cathedral like effect.

About the Artist Guest Rooms at Nativo Lodge:
Nativo Lodge has commissioned four Native American contemporary artists to transform guestrooms into works of art. This bold artist room project is the first of its kind in New Mexico. “These new artist rooms offer our guests a very unique experience unlike anything else in New Mexico,” said Heritage Hotels and Resorts, Inc. CEO, Jim Long. “Most people experience art in galleries or museum settings. The opportunity for our hotel guests to sleep in a guest room that is an art piece in itself, promises to be one of the most exciting and stimulating experiences anywhere. These artist guest rooms, designed by emerging Native American artists, are deeply rooted in cultural traditions but express themselves in surprising ways. These artist rooms take the hotel guest room experience to another level. ”
Nativo Artist Room Reservations are only available by calling Nativo Lodge at: 505-843-5300 or 888-628-4861
