Elizabeth & Marcellus Medina, Zia Pueblo Tall Clay Pot with Apache Dancer Design (JM66)
Beautifully detailed Zia Pueblo tall pot with Apache dancer design, signed Elizabeth & Marcellus Medina '06.
Elizabeth Pino Medina was born Elizabeth Toya at Jemez Pueblo in 1956, daughter of Mary S. Tafoya and sister of Bertina Tosa. She grew up in a family of potters and learned the Jemez way of making pottery. Then she married Marcellus Medina in 1978 and moved to his home at Zia Pueblo. The Zia Elders gave her permission to make pottery in the Zia style, and her mother-in-law, Sofia Medina, taught her the proper methods for doing that.
Marcellus Medina was born to Rafael and Sofia Medina at Zia Pueblo in 1954. He began painting traditional and contemporary images with watercolor and acrylics at the age of 10. His family has a long tradition of producing pottery and paintings, and Marcellus is devoted to the continuation of that. Elizabeth often makes the pot while Marcellus paints the design.
Since the early 1980s, Marcellus and Elizabeth have earned awards at Santa Fe Indian Market, Eight Northern Pueblos Arts & Crafts Show, the New Mexico State Fair and the Colorado Indian Market in Denver.
