About:
Mary grew up in Santo Domingo Pueblo. Her background is in handmade turquoise work. She gained skill and learned the traditions of Santo Domingo jewelry by helping her parents string and design traditional jewelry. Mary’s jewelry has evolved from traditional Santo Domingo turquoise heishi and “Depression Era” work to a contemporary multi-colored mosaic style.
