Elizabeth is an accomplished potter whose work is in great
demand in the art world. All of her pieces are created in the
traditional ways of her Native Zia Pueblo. She collects her
own materials and performs ground firings for every piece. Her
work is exhibited in the Albuquerque Airport and the Santa Fe
Museum of Indian Art. She has won many awards for her work,
including the Santa Fe Indian Market. Her work is also shown
in the 1993 Indian Market Showcase of Indian Art.
Her husband, Marcellus Medina is an accomplished painter.
He is the son of the world-renowned Rafael Medina. Marcellus,
like Elizabeth, has his work exhibited in the Albuquerque
Airport and has won several awards for his work. On occasion,
this husband and wife has
collaborated as a team to create beautifully painted
pottery. Elizabeth makes the pot and Marcellus paints his
exquisite style over a white slip to create some of the most
unique pieces in existence. |
