Curator Evone “Snowflake” Martinez (San Ildefonso and Cochiti Pueblos) learned how to make pottery from her aunt Florence Naranjo, mother, Catherine Trujillo, and grandmother Helen Cordero. Much of her inspiration came from watching her grandfather Joe Aguilar work on his pottery and from the advice he gave her in her very early years. Today her work consists of traditional and contemporary styles. Alongside her pottery-making, she is a seamstress, sewing instructor, and teacher.

Diego Romero was born in Berkeley, California, to Santiago and Cornelia Romero, and raised at Comics and Comix. After studying under such notable instructors as Otellie Loloma at the Institute of American Indian Arts, Santa Fe; Ralph Bacerra at the Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design, Los Angeles; and Adrian Saxe at the University of California, Los Angeles, he began his career in clay, exploring his reflections on Native identity and history. A self-described half Berkeley boy, half Cochiti man who makes art on the perimeter, he remains a stalwart chronicler of the absurdity of human nature.
