— mission —

Santa Fe, New Mexico, long considered one of the most beautiful spots on earth, has for decades been one of the most coveted places to make a home, drawing people from a wide range of backgrounds. As the city’s population becomes more diverse, its sensibilities expand as well, making room for new looks, new voices, and new trends. For those who live here and those who dream about it, Trend explores the many facets of living well—from architecture and interior design to art and the fascinating personalities behind these industries.

The “art of living well” comes to life through stunning photography, features, and departments that are topical, fresh, and sophisticated. The result is a magazine that is as much a resource as it is a beautiful publication, presenting a three-dimensional view of Santa Fe, in stillness and in motion.

TREND Changes

I created this as the identity model when I defined Trend’s vision and goals, manifesting a magazine that would grow into a unique media reflection. And it has.

I’d like to say the current economic climate is auspicious, but it’s more like we’re swimming without water: It is not easy, fun, or swift, yet somehow we find a way to move forward, regardless.

I know you will consider this issue to be Trend’s best effort yet, with coverage including architect Jeff Harnar’s final work: his home, a perfect illustration of his beyond-the-box thinking and solutions, which merge earth with building materials to inspire unique living options. We also bring you an overview of Antoine Predock’s architectural designs. In art, David D’Arcy presents artist, designer, and architect Ron Arad and his MoMA retrospective; Keiko Ohnuma delves into my favorite art form of reflective, intense color—glass; Laura Addison adds insight into the mastery of James Havard; Eliza Wells Smith covers painter Darwin Nix, whose Narcocultura is currently showing in Santa Fe; and Betty Gold interviews sculptor Colette Hosmer.

In the quantum-physics paradigm, matter is not the substance of the universe; thought is. With that, we share these ideas intended to bring you insight, perspective, and a beautiful reflection of this community’s creativity.

Enjoy! From my family to you,

Cynthia Canyon
