What’s Next for Santa Fe Artist – Aleta Pippin?
This is my first video for the year created by Kyle Maier, Kamio Media. We spent several days conversing about various aspects of painting as it relates to my life journey.

2020 – Change Is in the Air
Last October, I made an important decision to change my life drastically. I decided to close Pippin Contemporary and have more time to focus on my artwork and pursue other opportunities.
I admit it – I’ve been a control freak many years of my life.

Being tightly wound, I achieved a lot, but I was taking steps that didn’t necessarily give me joy.
