Santa Barraza (born April 7, 1951) is an American mixed-media artist and painter who is well known for her colorful, retablo style painting.[1] A Chicana, Barraza pulls inspiration from her own mestiza ancestry and from pre-Columbian art.[1] Barraza is considered to be an important artist in the Chicano art movement.[2][3] The first scholarly treatment of a Chicana artist is about her and is called Santa Barraza, Artist of the Borderlands, which describes her life and body of work.[4][5] Barraza's work is collected by the Mexic-Arte Museum, and other museums around the United States and internationally.[4] She currently lives in Kingsville, Texas.
