Wanda Aragon
Acoma Pueblo
Wanda Aragon was born in Acoma Pueblo in 1948. She learned the traditional way of making pottery from her mother Frances Torivio. She specialized in producing miniature pots and jars (nothing larger than 3 inches in any dimension) but she also made some larger pieces.
Wanda earned awards for more than 25 years at Santa Fe Indian Market, Heard Museum Guild Indian Arts Fair, the Eiteljorg Museum of the American Indian (in Indianapolis) and many others.
Wanda's signature varies a bit but is usually something like this: "Dzinats'ituwits'a W. Aragon Ak'u, N.M."
