FARNSWORTH GALLERY TAOS

and
CAFFÈ RENATO
A Family Story


In the summer of 1950, at the age of 9, John Farnsworth visited Taos with his mother, a Taos native. Entranced by the galleries, John decided on the spot that he was and would always be an artist. In 1968, he began painting full time, and for the next thirteen years painted and traveled among the Navajo, the Hopi, and the Rio Grande Pueblo tribes, as well as several forays into Mexico.

He began painting horses in 1979, followed by cows, and, with a move to watercolor in 1982, his subject matter grew to include "whatever gets in front of me."

When John and his wife Thea Swengel moved to Taos in early 1995, and opened their own gallery, the Farnsworth Gallery Taos, in March of 1997, two of his life-long dreams came true.

Then, in 1999, more dreams were fulfilled. Weary of their positions in the corporate world of Los Angeles, and longing for their two boys to grow up in a smaller community, and fresh air, Kimberly Casara, the Farnsworths' daughter and her husband Renato sold their home, packed up their family, and moved to Taos.

They joined forces with the Farnsworth Gallery Taos, in its new location on La Plaza De Las Flores, and opened the popular European style Caffè Renato.
