History

Locating a gallery in a small rural village was risky, but the charm of the location was undeniable. The building was designed and built in 1997 by Claire's daughter and son-in-law, Melissa and Alex Cserhat . They offered Claire an option to create a retail and studio space to showcase not only her distinct line of original jewelry but also her wonderful fine art works.

The interior finishes of Claireworks Gallery are a reflection of Claire's aesthetic.  To compliment her art and jewelry, the floors and walls are finished in a variegated green with a bronze-leaf wall border and distressed furniture is used for displays;the result is an elegant exhibition area and a friendly space for customers to relax and take their time while trying on jewelry designs.

Claire's jewelry designs are worn by women and men from coast to coast. Claire L. Haye is also a sculptor, ceramic muralist, painter, and author of A Modern Woman’s Guide to Aging: Together We Consider Our Options. Claire has written poetry all her life , but only recently has chosen to share this expression with her fans and collectors. Her slim volume: 33 Poems of Love and Loss is now available for purchase. If you curious about Claire you can read her brand new memoir, Survival, Persistence, and Renaissance.

Claire displays her sculptures in the front garden along side flowers, thyme and lavender. In the winter the snow provide a dramatic backdrop. Her enchanting ceramic mural work is permanently installed on the exterior gallery wall titled Tree for Seco which depicts an apple tree through the seasons of spring, summer and fall. The Habitat for Humanity home office has vivid ceramic installation.. Taos Then and Now located on Salazar Road in the town of Taos; definititely worth stopping and parking in their lot to view the entire piece…they won’t mind.
