Diane Calabaza Painting - C3827EDiane Calabaza (b.1954 -) He'Shi Flower is not recorded in any of my artist reference books but it is likely that she is related in some manner to San Ildefonso potter Blue Corn, whose name was Crucita Calabaza.  I know of no other Calabaza family at San Ildefonso.

 

Diane indicated on the back of this painting that it was painted with "natural earth colors." I am unsure if she meant that the paints were made from mineral earth materials or if she only meant that the shading was earth colors.
