River of Life

from $40.00

Various Sizes - Matted Prints

Flowing from the ancient Valles Caldera is the Jemez River which meanders through the heart of the Jemez Mountains and Santa Fe National Forest to eventually join with the Rio Grande in the South. This painting depicts a young Jemez Pueblo girl coming to that river to gather water in her beautiful Zia jar, a trade item from another nearby Indian village. Dressed in a traditional dark manta and trade goods like the woven red Hopi sash and Kewa jewelry, the young girl pauses to enjoy the cool water before dipping her jar into the life-giving river.
