Meet the owner:

Kristen Tiniel, originally from Pagosa Springs, CO has grown up in Santa Fe, NM alongside a family of artists. Growing up in the art world inspired Kristen to find a passion for selling art! She began working for Mountain Trails Gallery in 2016 - 2021 where she had the opportunity to meet wonderful artists, clients and people. She learned her skills from experience and was offered a position as an executive director for another art gallery in 2021 which she accepted. After one year she was given a percentage of the business but the gallery ended up closing in 2022 due to the owner wanting to retire. At this point Kristen had so much experience, knowledge and passion for running an art gallery that she took a leap of faith and decided to open her own art gallery in 2022 called 'Legends of The West Fine Art & Jewelry'. She now represents over forty artists and values her relationships with her artists, clients and everyone who helps her in the gallery. You can find Kristen in the gallery any day of the week alongside her sweet dogs!
