About Us
A Family legacy since 1872
At Tanner Tradition, we proudly carry forward a legacy rooted in love, artistry, and cultural respect. Founded by Kathy Dawn Tanner and her husband, C. Lynn Tanner, in Ruidoso, New Mexico, our gallery honors Kathy’s enduring spirit and her deep connection to Native American artisans.
Each piece we offer—from handwoven Navajo rugs and original paintings to handcrafted silver jewelry—embodies the timeless artistry, culture, and stories of the Native peoples we are privileged to collaborate with.
We believe these creations are more than art; they are living connections to heritage and land. We invite you to experience the enduring spirit of the Southwest through every piece we share.
