Paula Rhae McDonald, owner of KIVA Fine Art and KIVA Contemporary Art, is a successful business woman, wife, Mom and lover of Native American Art. Although she has lived in many parts of the country, when it came time to settle down, Santa Fe called her home. "I spent many happy summers here with my grandparents as a child," recalls Paula. "I guess it's the multicultural aspect I enjoy the most. Because I come from a multicultural heritage, it was difficult to fit into  many other places I have lived." Paula is of Native American ancestry as well as Irish, Dutch and German.
      Paula's gallery spaces are located in the famed historic El Centro building just steps from the plaza in downtown Santa Fe. "We are a little off the beaten path," says Paula. "But the people seem to find us." As a matter of fact, people seem to be magically drawn to KIVA galleries. "People often comment that 'it feels good in here'. I try to make everyone feel comfortable and share the story of the art and artists.

     Kiva Fine Art has expanded! We now have 3800 sq. feet to display a feast for the eyes.
