"Then & Now" Art Print by Roberta Begaye
Not sure which printing style to choose?
This painting is an allegory of bringing the teachings from my culture and family history to the present. My contempo style paired with one of many designs that my grandmother used in her traditional rug weaving. Thus I weave paintings and maybe she was painting weavings.

Meet the Artist: Roberta Begaye
Contemporarily Indigenous is how I describe my artwork; spinning the past of my traditional and cultural upbringing with an abstract contemporary twist to the weaving designs of my grandmother and to my visions. I weave paintings in layers with a broad stylistic range that extends from colorful representational images of animals to abstract expressionist works incorporating graffiti. I begin each painting with a short prayer and an offering of tobacco blessing the canvas; I always want it to have positive energy because every piece I create is a part of me.
