Santina is an artist working out of the PASC Southgate Studio. She is heavily influenced by popular cartoons, fantasy films, horror, and thriller films of the 1980s and 1990s, such as "Anton’s Hands", as well as Broadway shows. From these inspirations, she creates original characters that appear in her comics, scripts, and musicals, as well as in sculptural forms. Santina sews her dolls by both machine and hand using felt and fabric, and also creates sculptures in papier-mâché. Rooted in her vivid imagination, her work reflects her deep dedication to her art.
She has exhibited at the PASC Detroit Gallery, Detroit, MI (2025); Art Enables, Washington, DC (2024); and the PASC Southgate Gallery, Southgate, MI (2024).
