"Many of our pieces of Native American art have been purchased at Twin Rocks. Upon entering our bedroom, our refuge, we are reminded of the American West--our favorite part of the country. We also appreciate the many man (or woman) hours that go into the making of each piece and the skill with which each work of art is fashioned. One of our favorite pieces, because of the artists' historical significance, is the Squash Blossom basket by Mary Holiday Black. It is located to the left above the triple windows. To the right of Mary Holiday Black's basket is a small rug woven by Shanana Warren when she was only sixteen years old. It makes us happy to know that the traditional arts are being passed on to talented young artisans. We also enjoy the humor associated with the more modern style of carvings of the road runner and the cow. "
