About the Artist:
Maria Martinez (1887-1980) was born in the San Ildefonso Pueblo in New Mexico. She learned the traditional form of pottery that she is most known for from her aunt through a process she called “learning by seeing”. Martinez and her family strive to utilize these styles and techniques to create pieces which reflect the Pueblo people’s legacy of fine artwork and crafts. She gained international popularity and recognition for her signature style. Many of her wonderful pieces exist within the collections of various museums, such as the Smithsonian, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Denver Art Museum.
This dish is amongst hundreds of pieces of art that are available at our location in Columbus, Ohio! Come in today and see the full collection.
