Tonita Roybal (1954 – )

Unable to find any published information on a painter named Tonita Roybal, I consulted with Russell Sanchez of San Ildefonso because he is extremely well versed in everything regarding the pueblo and its people.  Russell told me that Tonita Roybal is a daughter of Ramos and Cerelia Roybal and a granddaughter of the famous pottery couple Tonita and Juan Cruz Roybal.  It was for her grandmother that the younger Tonita was named.  He said that Tonita is around 60 years old (2014). - Alexander E.

We were pleased that Tonita Roybal came to view our exhibit of San Ildefonso Painters on March 3, 2017.  It was a pleasure to meet her in person.
