This stunning three‑dimensional mixed‑media Southwestern artwork by renowned artist Bill Coffelt feels alive the moment you see it.
The carved figure, pottery vessel, woven textile, and turquoise stones rise forward in layered relief, giving the scene a sculptural presence that catches light and shadow beautifully.
Coffelt’s signature style—warm desert tones, cultural symbolism, and hand‑tooled texture—creates a piece that feels both spiritual and deeply rooted in the Southwest.
The artwork is signed “Coffelt 2002” on the front, and personally signed again on the back wood panel with “Thank you, Bill Coffelt 4‑3‑03.” This handwritten note, along with the Western Heritage Gallery label, adds provenance and charm.
The frame itself is a work of art. It is fully three‑dimensional, built in layered tiers of rustic wood that echo the textures of adobe and desert timber.
The outer frame has a weathered, hand‑rubbed grain with warm brown tones. Inside it rests a 1.25" wide beige fabric matte, soft and textured like woven cloth. Closest to the artwork is a 1/8" inner wood trim, creating a clean, elegant border that draws the eye inward.
The visual art window measures 7.75" wide by 9.75" high, perfectly proportioned to showcase the depth and detail of the carved elements.
Overall frame size is 15.25" wide by 17.25" high, and the piece weighs 3 pounds, 4 ounces—substantial enough to feel important, yet easy to hang. A sturdy wire hanger is already installed on the back, making it ready to display immediately.
This is a striking, soulful, and beautifully crafted Coffelt original, rich with texture, culture, and desert warmth.
