Storm Pattern

This finely woven Storm Pattern by accomplished Navajo artist Janice Vanwinkle represents the classic regional design from the western Navajo Nation. The composition features bold zigzag lightning lines radiating from a strong central rectangle—symbolizing the Navajo hogan or sacred lake of emergence—connecting to corner elements that evoke the four sacred mountains, embodying themes of rain, fertility, and balance.

Handwoven with finely spun processed wool using natural wool colors in sophisticated grays, creams, and browns, accented by vibrant aniline red dye, this piece stands out for its exceptionally tight weave, razor-sharp serrated edges, and precise geometric execution.

A masterful and elegant example of traditional Navajo textile artistry, ideal as a wall hanging or floor rug.
