Roe LiBretto is a visionary surrealist painter based in Albuquerque New Mexico. She creates allegorical paintings that portray human experiences and serve as meditative pieces through which the viewer may gain insight into their own motivations and behaviors. Her practice is rooted in psychological automatism and ritual, using iconography inspired by metaphysics, world religions, medieval manuscripts, and Jungian psychology.

Born to a working class family in Brooklyn, Roe studied at the Brooklyn Museum, the School of Visual Arts, and City College of New York. She worked in publication design and customized motorcycles on the then-not-so-hip Lower East Side. Roe received commissions from the New York City Cultural Council and the Massachusetts State Council on the Arts to create public kinetic installations. Roe is an Albuquerque ArtsHub Fellowship alumni, an AABA designated Local Treasure and has discussed her work in a National Public Broadcast episode of COLORES!.

Roe has been involved in numerous invitational and group exhibitions internationally and is currently represented by galleries in New Mexico and Massachusetts.
