About the artist
Marie Chinana
Marie Chinana is a Jemez Pueblo artist who works with traditional methods. She uses all-natural materials collected from the Jemez Pueblo for her hand coiled pottery.
Marie specializes in traditional polychrome jars and bowls as well as stone polished redware. She uses the combined but recognizable subject matter and also hand paints different designs that are significant to her. She is the daughter of Martha Toya and has been active as a potter since 1982.
She signs her pieces D & M Chinana because her husband often helps her with parts of the pottery making process. Those signed M.T. Chinana or MTC are made soley by Marie.
