Piper Pelligrini (she/her) is an artist, agrarian, and steward of the land. She resides on the homelands of Apache, Diné, and Pueblo peoples.

Piper is passionate about regenerative agriculture blended with traditional cowboy methodology, and finds home amidst like-minded ranchers and agrarians who care deeply about local foodways, supporting small, woman-owned businesses, and advocating for sustainable ranching practices. She practices photography, filmmaking, pottery, textile work, and temporally-based, community-centric instantaneous performances. She draws constant inspiration from her community of fellow women in arts and agriculture.

Recent news

Piper has recently shown her artwork at two group shows at Inhabit Galerie in Corrales, NM. Both shows have been featured in reviews for the Albuquerque Journal. 

For “Manhandled” in July 2025, she installed a replica of her studio, complete with books, art supplies, cowboy hats and boots, and various paintings and drawings. Piper hopes that this studio will give a glimpse into the live of a working cowboy-artist, bridge the divide between urban and ranching people, and inspire appreciation for the men and women of the working West.

 The show “Stitches” in January 2026 explored the art of hand embroidery. Piper contributed six of her hand-embroidered bandanas, each depicting a plant or element inspired from her ranching world. About the pieces, Piper said, “The bandana is an iconic part of the traditional cowboy outfit. Like everything else a cowboy wears it is utilitarian as well as decorative - keeping the sun off our necks, the dust from our faces, and serving as a rag or cloth whenever needed. In adorning these bandanas with hours of hand embroidery, I hope to illuminate the careful, detailed work that goes into stewarding the land every day.”
