Ramona’s tapestries, Nebula 22 and Nebula 23 (2009) will be shown in Hearts of Our People: Native Women Artists. The exhibit is being organized by the Minneapolis Institute of Art and will travel to several other locations during 2019 and 2020. The tapestries have been graciously loaned for exhibit by Carl and Marilyn Thoma.
Ramona often uses the natural world for her inspiration. The Hubble Space Telescope captures vibrant and colorful images of nebula, in distant galaxies, which inspired the Nebula Series tapestries. Massive textured clouds of gases, plasma and dust are star incubators. Sakiestewa’s art-making often includes layering colors and shapes, mirroring the layering found in the Hopi and Uto-Aztecan cosmological spirit world or Flower World.

Hearts of our People Exhibition,
My name is Brandon King and I’m a journalist for Oklahoma Today Magazine. I am reporting on the event that will be taking place in Tulsa and I was curious about the ticket price for the event. If you could get back to me when you can, I would appreciate it.
Thank you,
