A little info from the web... Jemez Pueblo artist Marie Gachupin Romero had made pottery of the finest quality for over 50 years. Her specialty was figurative pottery, primarily storytellers and Nacimiento's. The faces of her figurines are beautifully sculpted and always portray an angelic presence. She most often combined matte-paint and stone-polished slip in the same piece. She would sign her pottery creations as Marie G. Romero Jemez. A member of the Corn Clan of Jemez Pueblo Marie Gachupin Romero (1927-2007) learned the traditional techniques of pottery making from her mother, noted Jemez potter, Persingular Gachupin. Clay was gathered from the earth locally in the pueblo, cleaned of impurities, constructed by hand and fired in an outdoor wood fire. Colors for painting were from the local vegetation. Marie was well-known for her original pottery shapes and for her figurative pottery – storytellers and nativity scenes.
