AnaMaria relies on composition for the strength of her art; textures identify foliage; colors coolly recede or speak loudly of the setting sun; tonalities develop dimensionality. These elements create a spiritual place.
Ties to the landscape began at childhood. She was raised in Mesquite, New Mexico among agriculture. Her inquisitive nature wanted to capture the magic of growth by drawing her mother's beautiful flowers. Four years at the College of Santa Fe gave her the skills and ten years at Graphics Workshop gave her hands-on experience, allowing her to depict the natural magnetism of the landscape.
AnaMaria Samaniego is a well-rounded artist residing and maintaining a studio in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She actively belongs to Contemporary Hispanic Market and SFSA. Her focus is the inspiration of the landscape and protraying it with an honest heart.
