Jurors' Comments:
A. Abeita: In this painting the traditional values are represented with a unique distinctive look. This artist portrays the beauty of Pueblo life.
M. Polyestewa: I picked the same one, too, because of the way its done—the artist did a great job and it has a lot of meanings; it shows the corn maidens carrying their gifts, like fruits, things we all value because of/for longevity of life; what you eat makes you strong and healthy.
J. Ware: (of the Runner Up - 3-piece monotype on paper
called "Essence of Navajo")
Beautiful images, superbly combined. Very strong individual images and combined
techniques.
