Jennifer Tafoya #020403

$700.00

We haven’t had any free standing birds for quite a while, and now Jennifer has created a gorgeous red polished cardinal. Hand coiled and traditionally fired outdoors, the incising and work with natural slips is beautiful.
The males are a brilliant red with a black mask and throat. The adult male uses its hefty, thick bill and tongue to extract seed by cutting or crushing the shells. The muted tones of blues, tans, and white are gorgeous and add to the realistic representation of the bird. This would be a terrific addition to any collection for bird lovers.

Jennifer Tafoya

Jennifer Tafoya is one of the brightest and most talented artists from Santa Clara pueblo working in the sgraffito area. Her incising work is particularly detailed and precise — revealing great accuracy and fabulous use of color. Her themes are of wildlife, fish, birds, and mountain animals in stunning realist detail. She combines this with fabulous traditional Santa Clara geometrics and symbols. Jennifer is the daughter of Emily Suazo-Tafoya and Ray Tafoya. In 2004, Jennifer was honored with BEST OF POTTERY at Indian Market, in Santa Fe. She continues to expand her repertoire of designs and shapes. Every new piece of incised pottery by Jennifer is unique and special. As her images continue to change, she continues to use natural slips and pigments that make for wonderful finished work! MAGNIFICENT!
