​The fourth section of the World Longest Native American Painting was created in 2012.

​

At that time, the artist relocated full time in New Mexico. The diversity of the Pueblo Tribes along the Rio Grande from Taos to Las Cruces is amazing. You will discover in this painting 19 pueblos which have been located on this fertile lands for millennia. The Pueblo Culture is very traditional and the conservation of their art forms, traditional teachings and languages are essential to the survival of these unique small communities. Each Pueblo can be identified by the unique style of pottery that they create. In this painting each woman presents a piece of pottery that gives us clues to identify her specific Culture.
