Dolores Gomez-Bustillo is an “Artist to Watch”! She has been my student for several years and she is observant, hard-working, aggressive in her approach to the canvas, dauntless in effort to overcome obstacles, full of life and soul and spirit, radiant in dedication to God and man, intuitive, cross-cultural, and bursting with creativity. She knows her craft but is constantly learning and seeking; her heart and soul are sitting right out on her shoulder for all to see, yet she has discretion. She is a wonderful balance between the flesh and the soul – she will do well, she will go far, she will prosper in all she does.
My suggestion to viewers of her work is “Buy” while the prices are reasonable.
