Ortiz Mountain Ventures

Hello Visitor, Welcome to our web page. In June of 2015 it will be 10 years since our move from Maine. It all started about a month after our arrival in Cerrillos when we decided that we needed a place for Aline (my wife) to create her art. Although we both love horses we opted to convert the barn into a working artist's studio and gallery. Today the Ortiz Mountain Gallery is alive and well and is operating out of the barn and it's former attached stables. I had the tools and at that time, the time and commitment to begin what was to take nearly eight months to finish. I started with four cinderblock walls and a roof, a dirt floor and the residue of the two horses that had occupied the three attached stables (now they are workshops). We renovated South Western Style and used rough cut lumber for the ceiling and the interior walls. I specialize in fixing other peoples mistakes however I also do finish carpentry, hang doors, make thresholds, paint, frame, decks and much more The website you are about to enter contains Photo Albums of the jobs that I have personally completed and a few that were big enough to hire a crew. If you see something you like and would like me to build it or fix it for you please contact me in whichever way you may prefer. Callus today at (505) 670-8827.
