* Please note: Mary Trujillo is Ohkay Owingeh (San Juan) and Isleta, but married into Cochiti Pueblo (Leonard Trujillo). She learned how to make Cochiti-style pottery from her mother-in-law, Helen Cordero, and generally works in that style.
Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Isleta collection review visit May 2 3, 2022 (Events Record “Collection Review: Isleta Collection Review 2"): The participants are unfamiliar with the works of the artist, Mary E. Trujillo. It appears her work with micaceous clay may be influenced by Ohkay Owingeh pottery, as micaceous clay is not sourced at Isleta Pueblo. The jar overall is very clean and beautiful, reflecting her artistic abilities.
