Jennifer Tafoya #101717

$450.00

Some of our favorite pieces by Jennifer is when she creates free standing animal figures. This black polished turtle is exceptional. The precision of her drawing on the shell of this piece is outstanding. The black and white prayer feathers really stand out with the black tips of the feathers being highly polished. Jennifer has added a turquoise stone in the center of the back. It’s beautifully constructed.

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!
