Caroline Carpio Takes 2012 IACA Artist of the Year Honors
Caroline Lucero-Carpio is from Isleta Pueblo, NM.
Her Tiwa name is Thud'bese, meaning sun tablita.
Her native
culture is an articulation of prayer and celebration;
expressed in her language, songs, dances, creation of
art, and most importantly, her way of living.
Caroline's traditional upbringing and contemporary
expression of who she is today is voiced through her
artwork. "At times, my sculptures are a reflection of
my inner prayers and other times, it is the stories of
our ancestors that inspire a new vision. I would like
my work to preserve a story and educate who we are many
generations from now."
