MISSION


We are New Mexico based artists, designers and makers that formed in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Artico is distilled from the term Art in the Time of Corona.

Our mission is evolving as we navigate our individual and collective responses to this unique and enduring public health, cultural and economic crisis.

At present, our goals are to:

  1. create a supportive network of artists impacted by COVID-19;
  2. promote artists and their artwork through virtual platforms; and
  3. share a portion of our artwork sales with local non-profit organizations providing relief during this crisis.

AnaMaria likes to think of the group of Fir trees as a family unit. Some are young and some are dwindling as they are at the end of their cycle and purpose. As a unit, they protect each other against the elements and grow tall and beautiful.

This cumulus, … scratch. These cotton candy clouds pick up the delicious colors of the setting sun. One of the spectacular scenes in Santa Fe, NM. AnaMaria is inspired by nature which she believes provides sustenance in more than one way. Energy is felt in the lay of the land. Peace is derived from the amazing seasonal colors and every evening spent with the setting sun.
