About the artist
Evelyn Tso
Evelyn Tso, from Chinle is the weaver.
As modern culture filters onto the Reservation, objects such as cattle, trains, American flags, and letters of the alphabet caught the fancy of some weavers. Types that have been especially popular since the 1970s include landscape scenes which usually feature red cliffs or mountains, blue sky and clouds, juniper and pine trees, hogans, farm animals, trucks, and people.
