| Santo Nino Anoche Watercolor on paper |
Artist Statement: Santo Nino of Anoche is the saint of travelers and prisoners. He is my favorite saint.
We place personal prayers and messages under the feet of his statue in my home. He is depicted in this painting wandering at night in the Texas brush country, helping those in need of food and water. bio: Terry Gay Puckett’s art is infused with spirituality and bold color, and fueled by curiosity and travel.
