Pablita Velarde

Born in Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico in 1918, she is also known as Tse Tsan ("Golden Dawn") and is New Mexico's only living New Deal woman artist. She was schooled at St. Catherine Indian School as a child and later studied with Dorothy Dunn at the U.S. Indian School in Santa Fe along with other Native American artists who also worked in the New Deal Federal Art Project. Her major collection of New Deal art can be found at Bandelier National Monument where she was hired by the National Park Service to paint renderings of pueblo daily life. While somewhat controversial among her pueblo elders this gave her the opportunity to make needed funds to build her home and to truly stabilize her career as an artist. Both her son and daughter followed in her artistic endeavors and now her granddaughter is also a successful artist. She resides in Albuquerque and continues to paint with some visual limitations and also creates dolls depicting the traditional clothing of each Native American tribe in New Mexico.
