About the artist

Marie Toya

Marie Toya

Jemez Pueblo

Marie Toya from the Jemez Pueblo was born in 1956 and is a member of the Water Clan. She is the daughter of Casimiro and Mary E. Toya. Marie has been making pottery since 1978. She specializes in Storytellers, Nativity Sets, Christmas Ornaments & Friendship pots.

All of her storytellers are made from natural materials she collects from the Pueblo:  She digs her clay from the Jemez Reservation, uses natural slips and fires her pottery outdoors. Her favorite time is when she is creating a piece, "It makes me think of what to give each child and what the Grandfather or Grandmother is telling them.”

Marie’s style in storytellers is very distinct. She was taught by her mother Mary E. Toya. She, along with other family members stick to a traditional shape and color pattern on all of their storytellers, giving them a very rustic and traditional look.

 Marie has been making pottery for over 20 years. She has been featured in the book "Pueblo and Navajo Contemporary Pottery"
