When Jennifer creates dinosaurs, they seem to be right out of historic times. It’s as if she takes us back millions of years ago. The accuracy of the bodies, heads, backs, and tales is remarkable. When Jennifer was a child, she didn’t play with dolls, BUT she did have dinosaurs. She has always been intrigued them. Her work is so distinctive, you know immediately that is her creation. This is a Cervatosaur.

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!
