Benjamin Green

Benjamin Green is a self-taught artist, both visual and literary. He expresses himself in many media and genres. Most of his work begins with the question why not? At the age of sixty-nine he hopes his new work expresses a mature vision of the world and does so with some integrity.

ARTIST SHIRLEY PENA, "SHOOKIE'S JEWELZ"
​
Born and raised in New Mexico, I draw inspiration from the rich landscapes and cultural heritage of the Southwest. Having spent several years in Jemez Springs, I create handcrafted sterling silver jewelry featuring turquoise, coral, and a variety of other stunning gemstones. Each piece—whether earrings, necklaces, bracelets, or anklets—is carefully designed to reflect the beauty and spirit of the natural world. With five years of experience, I take pride in crafting unique, high-quality jewelry that carries a story. Visit our gallery to explore these timeless designs and find the perfect piece to cherish!

Wood turned Art by Bob Stauch

"Things that have influenced me most in my turning are the combined forms of color, shape, and texture found in nature, and the incredible shapes and design of the Southwestern Indian pottery, especially that of the Acoma Pueblo. Most of the bowls I turn tend to be southwest in design, and I often like to combine media adding color dyes, turquoise inlay, or pine needle basketry to create more unique pieces. I have also started experimenting with carving and wood burning techniques and the creative possibilities they bring. I pride myself in taking the time to put as fine a finish as I can on the bowl. I feel that even plain woods have much beauty to offer if finished well. I do some utilitarian pieces, but tend more toward open and closed art forms, turning a variety of both domestic and exotic woods. Because I find I most enjoy using local woods from downed trees destined for landfills or fireplaces, and am always chasing the sound of chain saws to see what trees the neighbors might be taking down.

I am a member of New Mexico Woodturners and the American Association Of Woodturners. If you would like more infomation about my work, contact me."

HELP US WELCOME OUR NEWEST MEMBER, JAY GOURLEY!!

Jay Gourley, Froggy Builder

"I started working with wood at a very young age. My dad was a small-town carpenter, and I went to work with him whenever I could. My dad died of leukemia when I was in college, but still today, when I cut into a piece of pine, the smell brings back memories of him that flood my mind. My uncle worked with him; my brother also loves woodworking, as does my cousin, so I believe it is in the Gourley DNA.

Upon graduation from college, I joined the Air Force. I loved being an Airman! It fit me like a glove — structure, organization, discipline, and pride in my uniform. I loved serving my country. I wasn’t able to do a lot of woodworking – a few little projects here and there, but all the moving made it difficult to have a real shop of any kind. I retired after 20 years and took a job as a civil servant working at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, NM. In my free time, I built myself a workshop in my two-car garage (my truck wouldn’t fit – really!), and I spent every weekend in that shop building. After about three years of dusting off my craft and learning new skills, Jules built me my first website, I started an LLC, and I began to build projects for dollar bills. People paid me to do what I loved doing – who knew? I later moved my shop to its own building on our property in Jemez Spings where we were part-timers. In May 2025, I retired from civil service and now live full-time in my dream home with my dream shop."

Welcome to the Jemez Artisan family, Jay!!!
