Martha Hernandez

Mata Ortiz

Martha Hernandez is a potter from Mata Ortiz, Mexico. It appears she likes to paint cuadrillos (small squares filled with multiple colors to create geometric designs) on small jars. I've also seen a few pieces by her done with a sweeping Quezada design containing cuadrillos and other geometric designs.

She often signs her pieces: Martha Hedez.
