Signed near bottom edge, comes with original card from Rising Star Gallery. Size: 10 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 9 in. Elizabeth Medina (born 1956) was born in Jemez Pueblo and married into the Zia Pueblo to Marcellus Medina (born 1954). Elizabeth was inspired by and taught to make pottery by her mother-in-law, Sophia Medina. Early in her career, she was granted permission by the Zia Pueblo Elders to make pottery in the Zia style and tradition early, and she has made Zia-style pottery most of her adult life. She continues today as one of the most accomplished living Zia potters in traditional styles, shapes, and methods, and has won numerous awards for her work at events such as Santa Fe Indian Market, with her pottery can be found in museums nationwide.
