Arizona Days 5-6: Part 2

We had the tremendous privilege of visiting the home and studio of Karen Clarkson, an incredibly talented Choctaw artist who spent much time answering our many questions about her work. She gave the girls pieces of her art along with much inspiration! It was truly a special experience for all of us, and especially for Jia, our resident artist.

 

 

 

We had the utmost pleasure of being welcomed into the home and art studio of Filmer Kewanyama, who shared with us Hopi cuisine, traditions and insights. The girls loved creating their own paintings beside him, and benefited from his expertise. He gave them Hopi kachina dolls and prints to take home. We truly appreciated his hospitality.
