A PERSONAL WORD ABOUT KEWA PUEBLOAN AWARD WINNER "JOLENE BIRD":

It's designs such as this, that separate Jolene from other artists from the Kewa village and it's also pieces like this fashionable pin that take her individualistic artistic approach to a whole new level of design! Having worked closely with Jolene now for years, one thing I can personally say about her, is that there is nothing that she doesn't come in close contact with that she doesn't get her inspirations from, whether man made or God given. Everything seems to be looked at as a future piece of "ART". And it's what she sees with her eye that she then goes on to recreate.

I believe what Jolene offers, is not just about being another Puebloan mosaic artist, doing it the same way as everyone else, but rather stepping out of her own boundaries that separates her from others and makes her an original! Jolene has wow’d us and all the judges at Native American juried events where she has gone on to win many awards because of her unique one of a kind style. To name just some of what she's made is her mosaic inlaid chess set, mosaic sunglasses, fully mosaic gourd pots, mosaic chairs, a mini sized mosaic inlaid Volkswagen Beetle car and even went as far as fully mosaic inlaying a Gibson guitar!!(And that's just SOME of what she's made!) And at present, she's even working on a mosaic 'painting' of a woman she came in contact with that impressed Jolene enough to ‘paint’ her in mosaic form! The word "impossible" is NOT in this artists vocabulary! Jolene's work is highly collectible..
