Work

Pop Wea's work titled Taos Warrior Dance (casein on board) is on display at the Arizona State Museum at the University of Arizona.[4] Her work has been described as dramatic and non-traditional, for example her work Buffalo in snow.[5] Her paintings were sometimes executed in a "three dimensional style."[6] In 1965, her work Eagle Dance received first prize in painting in the Scottsdale Indian Art Exhibition; it was described in a review as having "startling calligraphy on a black ground."[7]

Pop Wea's work was exhibited in 1962 at the Museum of Northern Arizona,[8] and at the Heard Museum in 1967.[9]

Pop Wea has been described as a "promising artist who died young."[9] Pop Wea's reputation as an artist was established in 1963 following an exhibition in Gallup, New Mexico; she unexpectedly died three years later.[2]

Collections

Pop Wea's work is in the James T. Bialac Collection of Southwest Paintings at the Arizona State Museum.[6] Her work is included in several private collections.[10][11]

Pop Wea was the niece of another Taos Pueblo artist, Pop Chalee.[2]
