I have added it to my page also for anyone interested. There are also a lot of master classes that the school offers if you just want to learn about a particular subject.

I hear a lot from people that they are not creative or that they can’t even draw stick people. I personally believe that everyone is creative in their own way and even though I also only drew very disproportionate stick people for a long time, you can absolutely learn because drawing is a skill and if you love art and have a passion for it, you just need to put in the work. I have only been a student since April and I can honestly say, the program is a life changer.

They have a great YouTube channel also with free content (I binge watched everything on there because it’s so good) I would be so happy to answer any questions if you are interested, reach out!

To everyone that came out to see me…THANK YOU!!! Everyone who voted for me I appreciate you all so so much! What an awesome event even with the wild wind we all had a great time and I made some awesome new friends… seriously thank you all so much!!

HUGE congratulations to the talented Dakota Rocha for winning the People's Choice Award at the Old Town Saginaw Art Fair!!! Well deserved!

Rather eat lunch in one of Old Town’s great restaurants?

Did you know that many of my artworks can be made into beautiful murals for your home/office? The Wall Mural Print option is removable without any damage to your walls. Easy to change or remove. It uses a premium 6 mil auto-adhesive vinyl with a subtile linen-cotton canvas texture. Head over to my website and input your wall dimensions to see if your room qualifies! 🙀. https://www.pictorem.com/970832/Pulling%20Me%20In.html?iframe=1?iframe=1

“Pulling Me In” is now available in my gallery! Swipe for QR code https://dakotarocha.pictorem.com/

Loving how beautiful this Michigan snow is and grateful i can watch the snow fall from inside a warm house. The seasons are so inspiring and Michigan has it all! 🥰 played with my alcohol inks tonight, hope you enjoy!

I love a good sunset 🥰

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and are ready to get rolling on those new year resolutions! My resolution to paint more is going great! Can’t wait to show you all that I’ve been working on and there is so much more to come 🎆

Anyone else praying for snow?

Well my friends, I have some news to share! It is official, I have an online gallery! I was continuously asked at shows if I had a website or how people could find my art online and up until now, there was not a great answer. NOW there is a place you can go to see my art which is available to purchase in many different sizes and materials including canvas, acrylic, wood, metal and for some larger works, a mural! My site can also create puzzles and wall clocks from some pieces depending on the dimensions of the original piece. There is free shipping to anyone in the US or Canada and every print you purchase plants a tree! I am so excited to be able to share this with you all! I hope you will take a moment to look at my gallery! I will work hard to keep it as up to date as I can and will let you know when new work is available for prints. Thank you all for your encouragement and support it means the world! https://dakotarocha.pictorem.com

Getting ready for my show tonight but also representing my girl Kayla and her amazing holiday earrings! Hit her up for a pair!
