About Rosita Alvarez, BFA
Makaa, Rosita, Jacobi, Ableza, & MIsha
My four children inspire me everyday to be my best and to laugh through hard times. I love motherhood! I also enjoy being a healer practicing Resonance Repatterning for over 11 years. Traveling through sudden widowhood has been a call to return to artistic creativity. I started painting when I was 7 years old and received a BFA in Studio Art from UT in 1989. I am self taught in Graphic Design in the Adobe Suite taking my fine art ability to marketing. 2010 marks the joyous yet serious return to painting. It seems I have a lot to say in my artwork about my life as a mom and a widow.
 | Join me at my next show! I have prints available of my paintings for all price ranges. Proud to be a 6th generation descendent of the Angel of Goliad |
