Monica Pecos, Cochiti Pueblo Potter

Monica Pecos is a traditional ceramic artist from Cochiti Pueblo, the historic birthplace of the modern Pueblo storyteller figurine tradition. Although recorded in arts publications as a Cochiti potter, details surrounding her family background and artistic lineage remain largely undocumented. Given the extreme rarity of surviving work attributed to her, Pecos was likely not a prolific maker, creating only a limited number of pottery pieces and storyteller figurines during her lifetime.
