Mata Ortiz is not an artist, but a Mexican town of over 480 professional artists who dig local clays, create mineral-based pigments from local materials, and make paintbrushes from human hair. The potters and painters of Mata Ortiz each employ their own unique blend of ancient and modern methods and designs. These innovative combinations define the exquisitely detailed and distinctive pottery of Mata Ortiz. This small pot was created by Rosa Gaoha and is from Western National Parks Association.
