More About the Artist

Pueblo

Acoma Pueblo is situated on top of a mesa, hundreds of feet above the surrounding land. It commands a breathtaking view of the countryside, other mesas, and the distant mountains – no wonder it is called Sky City.
The thin-walled and delicately decorated pottery of Acoma Pottery is among the most prized Indian crafts.
