Kwani Povi Winder is an exceptional painted from Santa Clara Pueblo.  Each painting is characterized by vibrant colors, deep emotions, and loose brushstrokes.  Kwani seeks to explore her Santa Clara Pueblo Tewa heritage through painting and draws on her religious beliefs when developing and painting a native figure. Through her paintings, she seeks to preserve, share and educate about her unique heritage.  The piece is entitled, “Pante”, which is the Tewa word for the outdoor oven used at the pueblos to bake bread for Feast Day and other events.  It is an intimate piece with brush strokes that are fluid. The lighting is amazing with the shadow over just a small section of the adobe oven.  The painting is beautifully framed.
