Pat - I just noticed John´s passing as I am looking forward to being in Santa Fe next Spring. So sorry for your loss. Currently, I am setting in our great room admiring five of John´s art pieces, one of which we commissioned for over our fireplace. His tremendous talent will be missed.

I acquired my 1st Oteri in the mid 1990's . Would love to view his works at Joe Wade Gallery and Alexandria Gallery when it was in Taos and in Santa Fe. Always enlighte3ning and inspiring. His talent shall be missed.

What wonderful times we had together in Austin and working with Pat at Rotan Mosle. “Party at the Oteri’s” was often our mantra and will always be a treasured memory. Terry and I are saddened at the loss of this talented, warm and wonderful man. Our love and thoughts are with you, Pat.
