Susi Nagoda Bergquist Santa Anna Folk Art Retablo, 1976
Hand-sculpted and painted folk art retablo depicting Santa Anna, created by Native American artist Susi Nagoda Bergquist. The elongated stoneware figure holds a basket and is flanked by small bird forms, all mounted within a painted wooden display inscribed “Santa Anna.” The base features a stylized floral motif that reinforces the devotional and domestic narrative of the work.
Signed and dated 1976 on the reverse, the inscription identifies Santa Anna as the Patron of Housewives & the Home. Bergquist’s work is known for blending local folklore, cultural symbolism, and narrative storytelling into tactile ceramic and mixed-media figures. Her pieces often draw on tradition while infusing each figure with individualized character and expressive detail. This signed and dated retablo reflects the artist’s distinctive approach to figurative folk art and narrative sculpture.
