Kathy is another daughter
of the late Helen Gutierrez, a well known and respected San Ildefonso
potter. Kathy and Carol live near each other, and work together
on their pottery.
However, they sign individually.
It is virtually impossible to tell their work apart. Again, these
two sisters have captured the revival of the classic San Ildefonso
black on black style.
Like many with a San Ildefonso
ancestry, Kathy and Carol are rather distantly related to Maria
Martinez. Art runs in the family, their uncle is Gilbert Atencio,
a noted painter.
This particular piece features
the classic water serpent design encircling the entire vessel.
