I had Davison Koenig on the podcast today who is the Director/Curator of the Couse-Sharp Historical Museum in Taos, New Mexico. This Northern New Mexico museum is a wonderful experience as I've been there a couple of different times. I've visited the Couse residency before it was ever a museum and was amazing then and now it is spectacular. It was fun to hear the story of how someone falls into a position like Davison's as a director of such a unique museum. The path, in this case, begins with Davison working in a bronze foundry and leads to a side-job cutting trees where he meets his wife Susan Folwell who happens to be one of the premier Santa Clara potters of today. Towards the end of the podcast, Davison takes us on a guided tour through the museum and gives us some very enlightening bits of information regarding the great painter E.I. Couse, J. H. Sharp, and their family. This is a fun and interesting interview and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
