Painted Desert Inn Mural

When Mary Coulter designed the Painted Desert Inn, she commissioned Hopi artist Fred Kabotie to paint murals in the inn. His murals depict aspects of Hopi life.

The murals inside Painted Desert Inn showcase vibrant depictions of Hopi culture, painted by renowned artist Fred Kabotie in the 1940s. These colorful works of art highlight traditional ceremonies, daily life, and spiritual themes, enriching the inn’s Pueblo Revival architecture with deep cultural significance and storytelling.
