Taos Pueblo artist honored in poignant museum tribute

The Millicent Rogers Museum in Taos has opened a posthumous retrospective dedicated to DeAnna Autumn Leaf Suazo, a rising Indigenous artist who was tragically killed in 2021 at the age of 29. The exhibition, titled "Honoring DeAnna Autumn Leaf Suazo," features over 20 works including large-format paintings, ledger drawings, and the first public display of illustrations from her children’s book, "Taos Pueblo Fall." The show highlights her unique aesthetic, which blended her Taos Pueblo and Diné heritage with influences from Japanese anime and manga.
