Lovely artwork featuring three Native American young women in beautiful shades of blue, purple, and gray! The mat is a pale peach and the frame is a mint/light turquoise.

The artist, Michelle Tsosie Naranjo, is a Native American artist of the Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico. Her paintings have won many awards and are exhibited in the United States and Europe.

Their bond to the Earth Mother ensures the growth and prosperity of the tribe."
