This beautiful Hopi Pottery was
made by Tyra Naha. Tyra is the daughter of well-known Hopi artist,
Rainy Naha. She has certainly learned a lot from her mother,
and carries on the tradition and influence of her grandmother,
Helen Naha - also known as "Feather Woman."
At just over 30 years of age
Tyra is an accomplished potter in her own right and continues
to produce the same quality work that is the hallmark of the
Naha name. Tyra has shown at several major venues throughout
the Southwest. She has been featured at shows in Santa Fe, NM.,
the Heard Museum, and others.
Tyra has already appeared
in a few publications dealing primarily with Native American
art, and Hopi Pottery in particularly. Of most notable mention
is The Art of the Hopi by Jerry and Lois Essary Jacka
(pp. 42).
She has signed with a combination
of the Naha family feather and the spider which represents her
clan.
