Echota Cherokee, is a versatile artist who works in many media including
painting, collage, monoprint, and jewelry.
DeRosa began painting
in 1955. Symbolism from
diverse cultures is incorporated in her iconic visionary art. This path
has brought a depth of personal understanding of indigenous traditions.
As a Reiki practitioner, and a nondenominational minister since
1972, Ms. DeRosa uses the universal energies as her guide and dedicates
her life to her art with the intent of enlightenment for her patrons.
Judy pursues other artistic
forms of expression such as glass fusion, photography, ceramics,
sculpture, and mask making. She also teaches specialized classes in
dream work, precious metal clay, and sacred vessel gourd work.
After working in the prison
system as the Native American Chaplain for the various tribal groups she
said;
“... people would ask me how could they get into jail to take my
classes!”
Ms DeRosa has taken her teachings out to the free world
where people can use the information in a better atmosphere.
As a visionary artist,
DeRosa’s work beautifully expresses the spiritual yearnings of this
age. She is a joyful
messenger for this new millennium..
Her collectors span the globe from Kyoto, Japan to London, England.
