About the Artist (Born 1953) "Nora Naranjo-Morse, a sculptor, poet and film maker from the Santa Clara Pueblo, is the youngest daughter of potter Rose Naranjo. Nora grew up mining and preparing clay, so it was only natural that she would work with this material as an artist.

Naranjo-Morse attended the College of Santa Fe where she earned a bachelor's degree in social welfare in 1982. She wrote a book of poems entitled "Mud Woman" published by the University of Arizona Press in 1992 which tells of Native Americans and their pottery from her first hand experience.

She was taught traditional pottery-making in her youth, though she has always created more unconventional works as an artist. Naranjo-Morse strives to be innovative and her provocative pieces often comment on cultural and social issues. Her works include a satirical clay figure, "Pearlene", figurative totems, monotypes, bronze sculpture and large installations and films.

Nora Naranjo-Morse's honors include fellowships with the Eiteljorg Museum and the School of American Research as well as exhibits at the Wheelwright Museum and the Smithsonian."  taken from AskArt.com
