Aleta enjoys combining many materials; her work includes paintings, drawings and multi-media works incorporating ceramics, metals, glass, paint, wood, textiles and handmade paper.
Though her current work is multi-media, she still keeps a sketchbook wherever she goes, and is often seen painting the clouds over the Salt Lake islands. She has shown her work in solo, group and jurored shows in Oklahoma, New York, New Mexico, Oregon and Utah.
Aleta grew up in southwest Oklahoma and received a Bachelors degree in Fine Arts from Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma. She worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for several years before studying ceramics and education at the University of Utah. For over 13 years she taught fine art, art history and computer graphics at secondary and college levels.
During the summer months she spent many hours painting the sunrise over the Salt Lake as well as traveling to Belize, the Caribbean, Puerto Rico, England, and Scotland.
Aleta quit teaching in order to pursue art full time, but she still likes to travel and keep in touch with her students.
She is represented by Concept Gallery in Salt Lake City, Utah.
