$ 1,100.00

This tile by Jason Garcia is part of his Pueblo Maiden series.  His pieces capture moments in time creating commentary on society and culture. This tile has a Hopi girl with her hair in traditional whorls.  Behind her are the Hopi pueblo buildings and kiva.  While she is dressed in a traditional manta she is holding her cell phone and drinking a Dutch Brothers cup.  The back as the hashtags, #BlueRebel and #DutchBros, indicating she is probably drinking a Dutch Brothers Blue Rebel energy drink!  Check out the detail in the painting on her hair and dress.  I think the earrings are really well painted and add to the piece.  In the sky is his hallmark raincloud with all his various clay colorations.  This piece is signed with his Tewa name, Okuu Pin, which means Turtle Mountain.  This tile is hand-built from native clay.  All of the colors are derived from Native clay and traditionally fired.
