Betty Jean Fragua (signs B.J.
Fragua) is of the Jemez Corn Clan and has been active as a potter
since 1980 working with traditional polychrome and stone polished
sgraffito redware and matte tanware bowls. She was taught by
her famous mother, Juanita Fragua, whose work is highly valued
and widely collected.
These pots have fantastic
artwork - precise and clean, plus a highly polished surface.
The art work is extremely time intensive with some graphics being
composed from hundreds of tiny paint strokes. B.J.'s work is
also widely collected and, like her mother, she is able to command
a fair value price commensurate with her talent and years of
experience.
