Jolene Nenibah Yazzie (Navajo)
Growing up, Jolene Yazzie and her younger sister Janene pored over issues of Wonder Woman, impressed by her powers, abilities, and her long black hair. As a skater girl, Jolene went through high school sustained by a diet of comic books and thrasher magazines. Now, as an emerging artist and entrepreneur, Jolene is creating her own images of inspiration, Navajo women warriors and heroes. As symbols of strength, survival and womanhood, these are in a justice league of their own.
Fourth section of the World’s Longest Native American Painting by Daniel Ramirez
Margarete Bagshaw (1964-2015). The daughter of artist Helen Harden and granddaughter of Santa Clara Pueblo artist Pablita Velarde, Margarete Bagshaw was a powerful artist in her own right. Bagshaw’s dynamic color palette and complex compositions is instantly recognizable and pays tribute to her mother and grandmother. And yet, like them, Bagshaw forged her own direction in her work. “I’ve been able to use color in ways that my grandmother and mother never would have considered. Grandma didn’t use translucent colors. Mom perfected the spray veils and used metallics, but I change color by layering color over color or color over pattern and pattern over color. Everything becomes a three-dimensional production of images.” Bagshaw’s achievements included opening a Santa Fe museum dedicated to Native American women artists, writing a memoir, and the 2012 exhibit at MIAC Margarete Bagshaw: Breaking the Rules.

This remarkable silver necklace holds 38 large globular beads, 24 three-petal squash blossoms, and is anchored by a large double arm cross pendant. On the opposite end, adjacent to the clasp, the artist included a single elk tooth – their signature, or maker’s mark – adding their personal touch to the already substantial piece.
