Diné Artist Alexandra Barton

Artist Kisikahwskew "Kylei" Big Bow (Fine Bow) hails from the Chippewa Cree and Laguna Pueblo tribes of Montana and New Mexico. A true artist at heart, she intertwines the threads of traditional indigenous art with a contemporary twist, infusing her creations with elements of edgy, punk, and gothic influences. Her artistic journey began at the age of 8, guided by the skilled hands of her parents who passed down to her the intricate knowledge of brain tanned hides, beadwork, parfleche, painting, and the lost art of northern regional traditional tattoos. With each brushstroke and bead meticulously placed, she immerses herself in the depths of her cultural roots, weaving stories of the past into the hides of her art.

My artworks depict the Navajo lifestyle, featuring stars, corn, water, teeth, textiles, Hogan, and the universe. I've observed the cosmos through seasons and listened to stories from my grandma and parents. My prints reflect my culture and explore the roles of women, prayer, and time, which is a continuous cycle. I want to honor the elders who brought us into this world and continue teaching us about our place and heritage.

Creating landscapes with linoleum and monoprints reflects land erosion and satellites photographing Earth. This offers a visual of how the sun, land, and clouds create colors and moments of life. Roads lead to other paths, and sometimes it feels like satellites capture our conversations. Land shifts with wind, weather, and growth, like planting. This idea came from my community, Ganado Chapter, which pieced photos from a helicopter flying over Ganado for weeks, showing progress since 1990.

My Name is Nicholas Pope-Lopez and I ​am a Yoeme (Yaqui) artist from Tucson, Arizona. Although I moved to New Mexico earlier this year, much of my work is still inspired by the Sonoran desert I grew up in. I use my art as ​a means to reconnect to my people and ​share our stories with others. Every ​piece that I create is made with intention. I pray over every bead that is ​strung or stitched so the good energy ​is passed on to those who wear my ​work. In this way each piece is not only ​a beautiful representation of Yoeme culture, but a connection to Creator ​and the land surrounding us.

My name is Tierra Begay. I am Tó áhani (Near the Water Clan), born for Tsin Sikaadnii (Clamp Tree Clan). My maternal grandfather is Tó Dích’ii’nii (Bitter Water Clan), and my paternal grandfather is Táchii’nii (Red Running into the Water Clan). I am originally from Tó Bééhwiisgání (Pinedale, NM), and I now reside in Albuquerque, NM. As a self-taught artist, I specialize in hand-drawn and painted art that reflect the stories, teachings, and culture of the Navajo people passed down to me by my grandparents. My art is rooted in symbolism, meaning, and purpose, and I often dedicate my work to those who have inspired, supported, and raised me. When I first began my art journey, my goal was to create pieces that spread love and happiness, much like the way my grandmother raised me. Today, I hope to continue sharing that love, along with advocacy, teachings, and wisdom, through my art—connecting with my people and other Indigenous communities.
