Roseta Santiago

Like soul and spirit, they radiate through the depths of the oil to] moved to New Mexico in 2000. Her surroundings inspire her. “I paint every day that I can,” she says. “And every day I have something new to say about art and why I am so consumed. I am completely inspired and will celebrate my senses and my life by painting and storytelling, because I cannot help myself. It is this gift to paint my thoughts that inspires me to pick up my brushes and embark on a journey of discovery. That is why I paint.” To see more of her work, visit Blue Rain Gallery [].
