Work by Luisa Jiménez Cubas

Luisa Jiménez Cubas is a master of backstrap loom weaving. She works with a range of natural fibers, including cotton, silk and wool. Many of the dyes used derive from organic sources such as coconut, pomegranate, indigo and mangrove. Because of these high quality materials, Luisa’s weavings range from subtle to bold in color and design. Her work exemplifies one of the most diverse and elaborate costume traditions in the country.

The Santa Fe International Folk Art Market, a non-profit organization, produces the largest international folk art market in the world, and our success led to Santa Fe’s designation as a UNESCO City of Folk Art.
