We're excited to introduce the Desert Museum's Indigenous Artist Program. Throughout the spring and summer of 2025, we'll be hosting Indigenous Artists to display, demonstrate, and sell their work. Artists and dates vary.
Saturday, April 5, 2025 featured artists:
o Carrie Cannon
"Turquoise is found naturally occurring within the Southwest including the Sonoran Desert Region. It forms in areas where deposits of phosphorous exist along with copper and aluminum. Cutting into each stone of turquoise is an act of revealing. It is sharing a slice of the beautiful. I pair my lapidary and silversmithing skills in the creation of each unique piece. I source turquoise rough stone from the Kingman Mine in Arizona which i cut, grind, sand, and polish and pair with my silversmithing, a practice that connects me to the artistic traditions of the Southwest."—Carrie Cannon
o Maria Arvayo
"My work consists of plein air work of the Sonoran Desert region."—Maria Arvayo

o Susana Arellano and Anivella Guiterrez
Susana Arellano is a Tucson curandera who learned the practice of healing the heavy-hearted and the art of making ojos de venado (deer eyes), a protective amulet within Yaqui culture from Nana Mary Lue, a Yoeme medicine woman from Tucson’s Pascua Yaqui community. With over 40 years of experience, Susana is now working with her daughter Anivella Gutierrez. Susana was awarded a Master-Apprentice Artist Award in 2021 from the Southwest Folklife Alliance to pass on her tradition.
