Cindy Nez, Teec Nos Pos rug

I have always lived on the Navajo Nation, as most of my family. I have worked with other art forms like painting, basket making, Kachinas, etc. but my heart is most at home when weaving with the wool. I have designs come into my mind all the time and look forward to each new one that may come into my imagination and then hopefully to my loom. I enjoy my work and strive to infuse beauty into each piece. I feel proud to have mastered the art of weaving, because it is something that very few people can hope to accomplish in their lifetime. The work is hard, takes time, the effort is not always easy but is worth it in the end to see your finished weaving come off the loom. It is exciting and spiritual, like seeing a part of you come to life in another dimension. It is like a symbol or place you were for many moons of your life.” https://www.navajorug.com/pages/master-weaver-cindy-nez
