About Us

Translated literally in Spanish, Pura Vida means "pure life", but to proprietors Michael Gamble and Danny Burris the words convey the feelings that the people of Costa Rica mean when they say, "Pura Vida...Life is Good."

And life is good. Whether in a one hundred year old hotel tucked in the mountainside village of Jerome, Arizona or nestled down an alleyway in a hacienda-style adobe courtyard in Taos, New Mexico, Pura Vida Galleries offer an eclectic, sensual shopping experience.

Organic forms and exciting colors in unique pottery, handcrafted jewelry, and blown glass convey the true essence of the the artist that created each one-of-a-kind piece.

Pura Vida Galleries are definitely worth the exploration it takes to discover them and will certainly prove the adage that "Life is Good."
