Ann St. John Haw­ley 1919 — 2010

As an artist, Ann St. John Haw­ley pro­duced a prodi­gious num­ber of pieces of art rang­ing from oil and acrylic por­traits, land­scapes, water col­ors, pen and ink fig­ures, block and mono prints, Sumi and Butoh draw­ings to ceram­ic pots and wood sculp­tures. Her goal was to com­mu­ni­cate through her artis­tic medi­um the divine dance of nature, col­or and form. For Ann, every­thing she saw around her inspired her to reach for new and dif­fer­ent forms of artis­tic and spir­i­tu­al expres­sion. That includ­ed new ideas, new thoughts and philoso­phies. She nev­er grew old in spir­it, con­stant­ly involved in tak­ing class­es, whether in drum­ming or in the study of world reli­gions at the Uni­ver­si­ty of New Mex­i­co, often attend­ing lec­tures, rel­ish­ing the mys­ti­cism in reli­gions. All of this pro­vid­ed more inspi­ra­tion for her painting.

Ann is not only remark­able because she was a work­ing artist until the end of her life in 2010, nor only for the amaz­ing col­lec­tion of work she pro­duced while being the moth­er of six, but for her spir­it which per­me­at­ed all she did. Her work encom­passed a wide vari­ety of expres­sion, con­stant­ly evolv­ing as she was.  Although nev­er pro­claim­ing her­self as a philoso­pher, she was. In a quote in Fifty and Beyond; New Begin­nings in Health and Well Being, here’s what she said about cre­at­ing anew, “I also like chaos. You have to have some chaos in order to find a new way. Although it’s painful and you feel lost, out of chaos comes some kind of direc­tion or insights – some­thing new emerges.” She nev­er stopped search­ing for that some­thing new.

She was loved and cher­ished by fam­i­ly and her friends. Friend­ship with Ann has touched all who have ever received the warmth of her smile, seen the twin­kle in her eye, nev­er to be for­got­ten. Her exten­sive body of work is the lega­cy she left to every­one who comes in con­tact with it. It rep­re­sents, more than any­thing else, the free­dom of spir­it that was the dri­ving force behind her every artis­tic expres­sion. Although her paint­ings are a lega­cy to the world, the friend­ship I had with her is my own per­son­al lega­cy. Hav­ing this oppor­tu­ni­ty to hon­or Remark­able Women of Taos through­out this sum­mer with alcove shows at Starr Inte­ri­ors, this upcom­ing show of Ann St. John’s paint­ings is the cul­mi­na­tion of that theme. This is a trib­ute to her work and an hon­or for me and for all of us at Starr Inte­ri­ors. She was tru­ly a Remark­able Woman of Taos.
