About Santa Fe

One of the most unique and one-of-a-kind galleries in Cloudcroft, New Mexico Turquoise Butterfly Store Frontwas purchased by Ken and Barbara Rice called the Copper Butterfly. The store showcased artists’ works from all over New Mexico, as well as surrounding states. It truly was a rare find… however, in December 2010, the mall next to the Copper Butterfly burned down and the fire consumed the Copper Butterfly as well. It was a sad day to see all of the beautiful art turned into ashes…

But two years later, out of the ashes of the Copper Butterfly comes the new Turquoise Butterfly! Turquoise Butterfly is an artistic business located in an old, historic, adobe building along the Santa Fe River in prestigious Santa Fe, New Mexico. It also is a rare find and so visually exciting that visitors cannot resist taking pictures of the historic building with amazing mosaic art throughout.

At the Turquoise Butterfly you will find unusual jewelry, useful and beautiful pottery, clothing, mesquite-inlaid furniture, amazing Southwestern art, a fine gallery, and so many other treasures. We believe in supporting talented artists in the area as well as finding those unique items that you will only see in our store.

Come take a step back in time as you walk through the mosaic columns, old Tibetan doors, and thick adobe walls and into the heart of art. Located between the Inn at Loretto, the Inn of the Five Graces, and the Inn of the Governors, the Turquoise Butterfly is a must-see destination.
