Judy Tuwaletstiwa, Artist and Writer - Marfa, Fall 2000

Judy Tuwaletstiwa lives and works on the Hopi reservation in Kykotsmovi, Arizona. Her artwork has been shown in many solo and group exhibitions during the last 25 years. She has also taught poetry workshops throughout the United States and has received three artist-in-residence grants from the California State Arts Council.

While in residence, she worked on a book project that involved reviewing her 30 years of writing, journals, and images.

“What a gift: a light-filled, beautiful house, a welcoming town, a landscape that invites the spirit to expand, uninterrupted time to float in the waters of the unconscious, meaningful exchanges with other writers and artists. Nurtured in the generosity of the Lannan Residency, I began my book, Making Breath Visible.”
