Michele Tapia-Browning Pueblos of Pojoaque and Santa Clara

Michele Tapia-Browning of the Pueblo of Pojoaque and Santa Clara Pueblos is continually engaged in the process of creating beautiful and unique images reflective of her Tewa ancestors. Her two role models are her mother, Lu Ann Tafoya and her grandmother, Margaret Tafoya from Santa Clara Pueblo. Michele incorporates a combination of age-old techniques and stipple drawing (creating drawings mostly from dots) in her imagery, digital art and pottery. She has earned both certification and Associate of Applied Science Degree in Drafting and has incorporated these skills into her technique. Her goal is to keep tradition living within her art and by drawing the beauty of each piece from inspirations in her environment.

  Love this photo  You always find such interesting stuff to share with us! I did another entry this morning with photos of Boulder Sandstone ledges to illustrate an excerpt from the novel I wrote 46 years ago called "Sandstone" about Boulder country characters who peopled my childhood.  Gerry http://journals.aol.com/gehi6/daughters-of-the-shadow-men/
