Matted Art Print By Michelle Tsosie Sisneros

This is a 6 1/2 x 9 1/2 print matted so it fits an 11x 14 frame. This print was done from her original painting. This is from her Pueblo Women Series and it's all set to pop in a frame! There's a card included describing her thoughts on this work of art. This one has a brownish mat, but it's easy to change that out yourself if you prefer.

“The images I paint are from the people who touch my life in a profound way and the Mother Earth I live on."

I am a Santa Clara/Navajo/Laguna/Mission - American Indian woman. I live in Santa Clara Pueblo located in northern New Mexico. I began painting as a child and developed that into a full time painting career. I believe that I have experienced many downfalls as an artist and have learned through the years to overcome many of the negativities I placed upon myself. This has affected the inspirational aspect as well as the technical abilities of my art work. I paint now from my soul. The images I paint are from the people who touch my life in a profound way and the Mother Earth I live on. I paint in an abstract form because that is how I see the Mother Earth. I started writing about each painting I create as I feel there is a message to my work that I would like to pass on to those who take one of my paintings home.

I grew up on the Navajo-Dineh reservation. I felt a deep sense of vastness in my life there. The land was long and far in between the people living there. I longed to be in Santa Clara where I eventually married and raised my son. I feel a closeness in Santa Clara Pueblo where I have never felt before. I believe I am truly tied to the earth there. Two years ago I began to study micaceous clay…….. Pottery. Working with the clay has completed my search in touching and feeling the Mother Earth in a way that I cannot through my paintings. I can now paint her Earth and feel her body in my life now as an artist.
