ABOUT OUR FEATURED ARTISTS
Glendora Fragua:
Glendora Fragua is recognized as one of today’s top Pueblo potters. She was born in St. Louis, Missouri and her early years were spent in San Francisco, California. In the 1970s, she moved back with her family to the Jemez Pueblo in New Mexico. Glendora learned pottery making from her mother, noted Jemez potter Juanita Fragua. Her tremendously talented family also includes potter sister, BJ and brother, Cliff, a world-renowned sculptor. She has taken numerous awards at prestigious art shows across the country.
Mary Louise Tafoya:
Mary was born and raised in the Santo Domingo Pueblo in New Mexico. She learned jewelry making techniques from her father along with influences from her mother. Her inlay technique is similar to the traditional techniques historically made at her Pueblo, using stones and shells from nature to create her one-of-a-kind pieces. Her awards include ribbons from Santa Fe Indian Market, Heard Museum, Eiteljorg Museum and more.
