"What does a Weaver Do After She Stops Weaving"
Ramona Sakiestewa, born of Hopi ancestry and raised in the Southwest, has been known for her beautiful tapestries depicting adaptations from prehistoric pueblo weaving. She taught herself weaving and has had her work featured in many museums, galleries, and numerous Santa Fe Indian markets. This fall she had her "last" weaving show at a gallery in Santa Fe. Currently her portfolio includes clayprints, works on paper, and product design. She has been consulting with architects to create culturally-themed design vocabularies for interiors and exteriors of public buildings such as the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC.
Ramona has served as chair of the New Mexico State Arts Commission. In 2006 she was awarded the New Mexico Governor's Award for Excellence in the Arts and was inducted into the New Mexico Women's Hall of Fame.
Ramona has spoken to our guild before and was an Artist in Residence at the Intermountain Weavers Conference. Come and listen to Ramona talk again to our guild, this time about her design process and her changing artistic vision.
