Dakota Roberts is an emerging artist from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, now based in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She earned a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Fine Arts from Roger Williams University. After college, she chose to pursue her passion for art full-time.

Dakota’s artistic approach is eclectic. Her primary focus is mixed media, combining aspects of collage and mosaic with acrylic paint to create layered pieces inspired by nature and the environment. She experiments with various mediums and subject matter. She believes in pushing boundaries and avoids confining herself to a specific style or medium, continuously challenging herself with new subjects and techniques.

She currently works at a major art gallery in Santa Fe, where she continues to grow her career and learn about the art business. Dakota is represented by Legends of the West Gallery and Clearlight Jewelry. Her work has been shown in several local art shows, shops, and markets, including two solo exhibitions, and was featured in an ad in Santa Fe Magazine, August 2024 edition.

In addition to gallery work, Dakota creates custom commissions, including pet portraits. She’s currently open for commissions in 2026.

Her long-term goal is to open a gallery that supports new and emerging artists.
