By Mary Beth Jiron The Three Corn Maidens design tells the story of the Pueblo people’s belief that just as the sun gives life to the corn, the Corn Maidens bring the power of life to the people. ABOUT THE ARTIST: MARY BETH JIRON | Isleta Pueblo Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe, New Mexico - Studio Arts - Painting/Sculpture She says her design was conceived after she learned she was accepted at IAIA. “Going to art school was something I’ve always wanted to do. I worked at the phone company for 20 years before that. The [Three Corn Maidens] idea came from visions I have had. I wanted to tell a story from our own culture.” 66" x 40" $50 is tax deductible. 3095$185.00 © 2005 American Indian College Fund
