Rain Bird Pillow

  • $39.00

Rain is nowhere more precious than in the desert, the ancestral home of Acoma Pueblo people. "We dance and pray for the summer monsoons to come so that the seeds that have been planted can sprout and grow," shares Acoma Pueblo artist and Inspired Natives® Collaborator Michelle Lowden. Her Rain Bird Pillow shares the story of the rain parrot, which in Acoma Pueblo legend led her people to water so they could thrive. Two birds, complete with swirling tail feathers, fly across this pillow, bringing life to everyone they encounter. 

Michelle is well known for keeping traditional Acoma Pueblo pottery designs thriving across all manner of modern products, including pillows, blankets, jewelry, and more. "I draw my inspiration from my family's history of illustrious potters to create my art," shares Michelle.

about the artist

My name is Michelle Lowden, and I am an Acoma Pueblo artist living and working in Pueblo of Acoma (known in my Keres language as Aa’ku) in New Mexico. I draw my inspiration from my family's history of illustrious potters to create the beautiful hand-painted Pueblo jewelry I am known for. The owner and operator of Milo Creations, you can see how my careful eye and attention to detail show in the intricate line work and Southwest geometric designs of my work. Fun fact: I became Eighth Generation's first Inspired Natives™ Project Collaborator in 2014!
