I LOVE Jennifer’s frogs. We haven’t had any frog pieces in a long time, so I asked if she would make a bowl with frogs in various poses, and it turned out to be great! These five bullfrogs, each one in a different stance work so well on this shape. Sitting on their lily pads, amidst the gorgeous pink hued flowers are delightful. The jar is shiny with a deep black polish, so the green of the frogs truly stands out. An elegant outlined and incised avanyu flows around the bottom of the jar. The opening shines with added mica. It is signed on the bottom Jennifer Tafoya with her mountaintop symbol.

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!
