During Labor Day weekend the Totah Indian Arts Festival takes place in the bordertown of Farmington, New Mexico. Its a great time when Indigenous artists, mostly Navajo, come together to showcase and share their original art works.

I was a participant in this show, and so was Navajo painter Beverly Blacksheep from Arizona. I love her work as man of her pieces depict Navajo cultural adornment of both men and women. She does a great job in showing the detailed garments and jewelry pieces in her art.

Happily I was able to do a trade with her at this show. This painting is the item I traded for my own art. Its a beautiful piece I treasure much.
