San Luis Valley
Colcha Embroidery Project

Judy Vigil is a Pueblo based artist from San Luis. She participated in the colcha embroidery revival in the 1970’s through the Virginia Neal Blue Program. Her artwork was featured in the 2023 Colcha Embroidery SLV show at the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, which led to the return of her artwork from the City of Arvada. She is influenced in work by her strong faith and her mother Beatrice Vigil Vialpando.
