Pueblo
Mary Louise Tafoya
Oversized T-Shirt
"This design is simple to the eye but very significant in how the elements come together. A pueblo-style home sits above a layer of various blocks of colors, representing generations of families that live within a household. The next layer is blue turquoise, symbolizing the Rio Grande River that connects all pueblos. Underneath it all is a swirl, representing the circle of life and the roots of our culture and traditions. For thousands of years, we, the Pueblo people, have thrived and continue to stay true to our beliefs and way of life. This design captures the essence of our enduring spirit."

Mary Louise Tafoya, born and raised on the Kewa Pueblo (formerly known as Santo Domingo Pueblo) in northern New Mexico, is a master of mosaic jewelry. Raised in a family of distinguished jewelry makers, Mary’s artistry is rooted in a cultural heritage specific to her Pueblo. For centuries, craftspeople from Kewa Pueblo traded their jewelry which incorporated shells, turquoise and jet. Mary hand cuts each of the materials and combines them to create her whimsical interpretations of the natural world. Lorenzo Tafoya, Mary’s husband, creates the silver work in her jewelry.
