About The Artist
Rose Gonzales was born just after the turn of the 20th century at San Juan Pueblo. The swine flu pandemic that swept across the world around 1918 wiped out most of her family, except for a sister and an aunt, Mary Cata. In 1920, she married Robert Gonzales and moved to his home at San Ildefonso Pueblo. Her sister came, too. It was her husband’s mother, Ramona Sanchez Gonzales, who taught Rose how to make San Ildefonso pottery.
