More About the Artist
Pueblo
Zuni Pueblo, located in western New Mexico near the Arizona border, is one of the most culturally rich and historically significant Pueblo communities in the Southwest. The Zuni people have lived in this region for centuries, maintaining strong ceremonial traditions, language, and artistic practices rooted in their ancestral homeland.
Zuni pottery continues ancestral Pueblo techniques using native clay and natural mineral pigments. Each vessel is hand-coiled, stone-polished, hand-painted, and traditionally outdoor-fired. Zuni pottery often features deer, birds, heartline motifs, and flowing organic patterns that reflect spiritual symbolism and a deep connection to nature.
