Harwood Steiger Placemat, "Pimeria Alta"

The screen-printed fabrics produced by the studio of Harwood Steiger, Inc. are replete with motifs from the American Southwest, including images depicting early Spanish colonization. Although husband-and-wife proprietors Harwood and Sophie Steiger were born in the Northeast, the Sonoran Desert became their home. The area inspired their enduring partnership, which saw Harwood as the primary artist, and Sophie as the expert botanist and businesswoman.
