About the Artist:
Juanita C. Fragua, a revered potter from Jemez Pueblo, has left an enduring legacy through her exquisite artwork.

Since 1971, Juanita's presence at the Santa Fe Indian Market has garnered acclaim and accolades, solidifying her reputation as one of the foremost artists from Jemez Pueblo. Her contributions extend beyond pottery, as she served as a cultural ambassador and advocate for Jemez artists throughout her lifetime. Juanita's craftsmanship and dedication to preserving Native American artistry will continue to inspire generations to come.
