- About Minnie Vigil
(1931-2024) Maria D. Vigil, an artist with Santa Clara and Pojoaque lineage active making pottery since 1955, came from a family of potters. "Minnie" won awards at Indian Market in Santa Fe as early as 1975.
Her favorite designs were rain clouds, rainbows, sky bands, clouds and bear paws. Her polished red globular forms are often decorated with these multi-colored painted designs.
Her work has been illustrated in nearly every book describing Santa Clara potters. In 1985 her pottery was exhibited in New York City at the Sid Deutsch Gallery along with pottery by Margaret Tafoya.
