“I work primarily in two art mediums: painting and sculpture. I paint on canvas and paper in oils/acrylic and mixed media. I often use natural earth pigments that I quarry out of the ground and crush to make my paints. I also use the stones and crystals gathered from the lands of my ancestors”
— A. Susana Santos
