Rosa Begay
Rosa is a third-generation Navajo weaver and silversmith from the Gallup area. Her rugs follow traditional Two Grey Hills patterns passed down through her family, while her silverwork incorporates contemporary forms with classic stamp work and turquoise from local mines.
In Their Own Words
"My grandmother taught me the loom. My uncle taught me the silver. I'm not preserving tradition — I'm living it. There's a difference."
