Marion Nez born in 1967. She was taught to weave by her mother and grandmother. She is a master weaver who has won many awards at the Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial. Her weavings have been on exhibit at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum in Wickenburg, AZ. She is one of the best Navajo weaving artists alive and still weaving today.
Marion was one of eight sisters along her mother, who wove in an eight-sided Hogan, with her mother’s and her loom in the center. They were all clearly inspired by one another, competing with their design and color innovations. Steve considered it a weaving Think Tank for innovating Navajo Weaving designs! All were a great tribute to their mother and grandmother's talent and teaching.
