San Albino

“As an artist, you start painting from your own heart, your feelings, and your mind, or maybe it is even more of a spiritual thing that happens.” – Charles Pabst

Lake Tahoe is an idyllic destination for adventure seekers, skiers, and outdoor enthusiasts. It serves as an inspiration to creative minds, from writers and painters to photographers and sculptors. Tucked in the heart of Heavenly Village, vacationers and locals will find the Marcus Ashley Gallery—an acclaimed space where several collections are thoughtfully mounted to showcase their brilliance. The gallery’s walkways exhibit Charles Pabst art in addition to the works of known and new artists.

Pabst portrays the Basilica of San Albino in Mesilla, New Mexico, in this limited-edition release. While the church was originally erected in New Mexico, it was later relocated to the US after a territorial transfer went into effect.

Pabst paints the Basilica of San Albino, now located in a quiet corner of a town square. The structure’s fired brick facade and mission-style parapets retreat into the shadows in the late morning light. The artist relies on bright spring hues to punctuate the basilica’s quiet splendor. San Albino is a classic Pabst painting that highlights the artist’s love and reverence for places of worship.
