Native American-Southwestern Decorative Designs Tile Art, Murals.
Native American tile art portraits, murals and southwestern, pueblo decorative designs based on historic photos and modern day culture. Hand painted on ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles and plates from tile painting artist Julia Sweda.
Most of the portrait examples shown are based
on photos from Edward S. Curtis.
The various designs of pottery are based on the Arizona and New Mexico tribes
of Hopi, Santa Clara, Acoma, Hopi-Tewa (Nampeyo) and San Ildefonso. They
are part of Julia’s private collection and are shown to give you an idea
of portraits Julia can paint for you on tile and porcelain from non-copyrighted
pictures or photos.
