Painting Angels Intuitively with Santa Fe Artist Eneida Valverde
On this episode, CJ sits down with Santa Fe artist Eneida Valverde, whose life journey spans from her roots in Costa Rica to decades of teaching art in Maryland, and now, to the creative sanctuary of New Mexico. Surrounded by hollyhocks, peaches, and the ever-changing desert light, Eneida shares how her intuitional transcendental practice became the gateway to her current body of work—13 luminous angel paintings inspired by traditional retablos.
Her process blends meditation, free-flow journaling, and intuitive mark-making, where shapes, patterns, and words emerge organically. Using watercolors, acrylic pens, and gold leaf, she transforms panels into spiritual expressions labeled with words like “Sanctuary,” “Attunement,” and “Alignment.” “I am following my soul and my spirit,” Eneida says. “I am connected to Spirit no matter what, and I am sharing it with everyone else in the universe. We are small, and yet we are huge.”
Raised Catholic and deeply connected to nature, Eneida reflects on the importance of slowing down, sitting quietly, and letting each breath be a connection to Spirit. From teaching students to create loose, line-rich floral arrangements with sticks from the yard, to following her own soul’s direction, her story is a testament to the beauty that arises when we stop judging ourselves and allow inspiration to flow.
