  • Photo of a woven piece by Eppie Archuleta called "Rain Cloud." The piece features a tan background, with horizontal thin stripes clustered together into two wide horizontal bands on each side of the image. These stripes are white, turquoise, red, and black in color. The center image is a blocky geometric shape of turquoise, black, red, and tan, with white feather-like edging. There is a very small turquoise dot in the very center.

    Far beyond Eppie Archuleta’s technical abilities, awards, and accolades as a master weaver, she was a weaver of artistry and legacy—her work strengthened by the warp of her ancestors and enriched by the weft of faith, love, and kindness.
