Theresa Montoya has been painting retablos for fifteen years. A regular contributing artist at the New Mexico Spanish Market, she has also taught classes on the art of retablo creation for many diverse organizations.  These organizations include: the SEED Program; Espanola Artist Council; the New Mexico Spanish Market; public schools throughout New Mexico; Santa Cruz de la Canada Youth Group and upon request to private individuals. In 1987, Theresa, her husband Richard and their three children Ricky, Melissa and Daniel started to paint retablos for their own gallery. Theresa’s enthusiasm for painting retablos is shown throughout her work; "When I paint retablos I feel like the past is coming to life before my eyes...with each brush stroke I am thankful I have been blessed with the ability to share my culture with others."
