Kenneth Johnson Studio

We had the pleasure of hosting Monte Randal at Kenneth Johnson Studio during his recent visit to Santa Fe, NM.

"During my recent AIHEC board meeting in Santa Fe, NM, I was able to stop by Kenneth Johnson's Studio to catch up and visit about some of our projects. He blessed me with his newest line of pendants coming out soon, the MVTO pendant. Momen Vnokeckv Temocetv Omvlktomes, which roughly translates to Therefore to have love for one another is everything. MVTO vnhesse!"

We are thrilled to announce that these beautiful pendants are now available for purchase in two sizes.
