William Cabrera is a traditional folk artist and santero from Grants, New Mexico, known for his handcrafted religious carvings and works inspired by nature. As a santero, Cabrera works within a long-standing tradition of creating Catholic devotional art for both home and church settings—a cultural practice deeply rooted in the history and spiritual life of the American Southwest. His carvings often feature religious iconography such as crosses, saints, and symbolic floral motifs, but also reflect a broader reverence for the natural world. William Cabrera uses wood as his primary medium, occasionally incorporating turquoise, valued for its unique webbed pattern and regional significance. William Cabrera's work has been shown at the Adelante Art Gallery in Carefree, Arizona, and continues to be appreciated by collectors of Southwestern religious and folk art.
