Mike Mahon - ORIGINAL
If you're looking for a unique display piece for your space that combines your love of Southwestern and New Mexico Art, this artwork is for you.
My goal is to remove the veil of dull familiarity and reveal the rich colors and contrast of the American Sounthwest. This painting is in the pastel medium where color pigment is not neutralized with a medium but is the pure rich color of true color pigments.
I work not for photographic mimicry but impressionistic expression that reveals the essence of the scene and the uniqueness of the pastel medium.
There is and will only ever be one original...

THE PROCESS
Bringing an idea to life through art begins long before the first stroke is made.
Inspiration can strike in the smallest of moments—a shadow dancing across a wall, the texture of weathered stone, or a face full of charac. For Mike Mahon, the process is one of observation and patience, waiting for the right alignment of light, emotion, and space.
Every composition is a deliberate act, balancing form and feeling. Mike crafts pieces that invite reflection and connection. These works become more than visual—they become experiences that resonate deeply, offering viewers a chance to pause, feel, and rediscover the beauty hidden in the everyday.
COLLECTOR REVIEWS
Words from those who’ve welcomed art into their lives.
“The detail Mike puts into his work is unmatched. So many collectors have said many times they can't believe his pastel work! Clients, customers and collectors swoon over his vibrant color choices.’’
Mike's work definitely strikes a cord with our Texas residents! The canyons and landscapes are always the collectors favorites. They see the sentiment in the space seem to spark a personal memory for them.
The New Mexico pieces are equally as gorgeous and many clients associate it with a vacation spot they have been too or a road they have traveled along theirs life's journey.
We believe Mike’s work will be passed down for many generations to come!

“Mike's work represents both exceptional artistic skill and that rare quality of emotional resonance that makes a piece truly unforgettable.”
“I was immediately struck by Mike Mahon's extraordinary mastery of light when I first encountered his work in a gallery in Taos, New Mexico.
What sets Mike apart is his intuitive understanding of how light transforms throughout the day - his palettes shift naturally with the conditions he's capturing, whether it's the soft, gentle colors of early morning or the dramatic warmth of sunset reflecting off mountains and fences.”
— Andrea Matus-Magee, Artist/collector, Santa Fe, NM
“Mike's paintings are a vibrant celebration of Southwestern culture, infused with the rich, colorful influences of Taos, Santa Fe and the New Mexico countryside.”

“[Mike] is a master of design and he is one of the best of the best in the New Mexico art scene..”
{Mike] is the consummate professional in the way he approaches the design and process of creating a painting. We are fortunate to own a lovely painting I purchased from him years ago and it has become not only one of our favorite pieces, but also evokes special memories of a week in Taos painting with Mike. His paintings just say “New Mexico” with his beautiful colors, skillful composition, and his mastery of his medium, both in pastel and oil. His deep roots in New Mexico are evident in the historic locations he choses to paint. He is a master of design and he is one of the best of the best in the New Mexico art scene. I am blessed not only to be a collector but to call him a friend and a teacher.

“Susan & I have several of his original paintings, not to simply decorate our home but to enrich it with fine art images of places that we sense are present and a part of us though far away.”
Mike Mahon shares our love of New Mexico and captures its unique light & beauty by taking his pastels and easel outside to the sites where he paints what his expert eye sees and what his soul feels, thus capturing the essence of the place as well as anyone possibly can.
That’s why Susan & I have several of his original paintings, not to simply decorate our home but to enrich it with fine art images of places that we sense are present and a part of us though far away.
