Tony Da was first a painter before becoming a potter. He began using casein paints in the 1950s and painted until he apprenticed to his grandmother, Maria Martinez, in the late 1960s. After 1972, he did very little painting and became a famous potter. Tony was enchanted with the art of the Mimbres Indians of New Mexico and many of his paintings reflect that interest.
