For Lydia Garcia painting is prayer, and painting is something she does constantly.
Lydia Garcia is one of the foremost Hispanic folk artists creating devotional art today. As a life long resident of Taos, steeped in Hispanic traditions of art, culture and religion, Lydia's art in all of its passion and depth, reflects her cultural heritage.

As a young girl she worked alongside her father while he sculpted Santos and created wonderful objects in his wood working shop. Today Lydia is a full time Santera and continues to paint and sculpt in the same adobe workspace built by her grandfather where she was born and raised working with her father.
