Through the monotype printing process this recognizable Padilla portrait of the Corn Maiden figure keeping vigil over the ripening harvest signifies the importance corn has to Pueblo villages. Prayers and songs carry our requests to the heavens, thanking Creator Father for the provision offered to people on earth. Supplication is also made for wisdom, knowledge, and the understanding of how we can carry on the responsibility as caretakers to the earth. Corn Maiden brings the answer to those prayers as she adds her own song for the harvest.
