About the Artist

The church form speaks to Roberto's love of ecclesiastical architecture and springs from his Benedictine monastic background and world travels. The churches, built of pine and richly painted, are about 12" wide and 16" high and vary in length. While he specializes in the churches, missions and synagogues of New Mexico, beginning in 1985, he has done nearly 1000 pieces inspired by buildings of faith from around the world. He continues working today, and his most recent exhibition is at the Taos Museum of Art Fechin Studio, January 10 - March 1, 2026.
