Here’s the first look at three new pots by Elizabeth & Marcellus Medina. These shots depict different sides of the same pieces.

This trio consists of a stunning two-tone vase, a beautiful swirling feather jar, and a small seed pot with male and female buffalo dancers hand-painted on opposite sides.

So many great sizes, shapes, styles, and designs in this group. I couldn’t wait to show you.

Marcellus is from Zia Pueblo. He was inspired to continue the family tradition of pottery making by his ancestors, the support of many people, creative inspiration, and economic motivation.

Marcellus signs his pottery as: Medina, year, and accents it with a zia bird symbol, Marcellus is related to the following artists: Elizabeth Medina (spouse), Sofia Medina (mother), and Lois Medina (sister). He has won many awards including first place at Santa Fe Indian Market, and Best of Show at the New Mexico State Fair.

Elizabeth Medina, “Sepia,” was born in 1956 into the Jemez Pueblo. She married into the Zia Pueblo and was inspired by her Mother-in-Law, Sofia Medina, to learn the art of working with clay.
