 Lisa
Chavez-Thomas, a member of the Pueblo of Isleta employs a wide varity of
techniques in her artwork, but her main interest is in "pyroengraving" or
burning an original design onto the surface of a hand-cleaned, cut and
prepared gourd, and/or a handcrafted woodwork piece.
From her Pueblo heritage
Lisa Chavez-Thomas
draws the basis for the themes of her work. Lisa tells us, "The
reverence for our Great Spirit and our other Dieties, the love and respect
for all of nature and the joys and sorrows of being human are, often, the
most visited subjects that can be found in my art."
Enjoy the beauty of Lisa's
work. |
