[Home] [Up]

Lisa Chavez-Thomas, a member of the Pueblo of Isleta employs a wide varity of techniques in her artwork, but her main interest is in "pyroengraving" or burning an original design onto the surface of a hand-cleaned, cut and prepared gourd, and/or a handcrafted woodwork piece.

From her Pueblo heritage Lisa Chavez-Thomas draws the basis for the themes of her work.  Lisa tells us, "The reverence for our Great Spirit and our other Dieties, the love and respect for all of nature and the joys and sorrows of being human are, often, the most visited subjects that can be found in my art."

Enjoy the beauty of Lisa's work.
