Daryl Duane Whitegeese (1965-)

Daryl Duane Whitegeese, Santa Clara Pueblo, is the son of LuAnn Tafoya.  Growing up in the Tafoya family of potters, it was inevitable that Daryl would eventually be tempted to work with clay.  He said he made his first complete pot when he was 32 years old.  He learned the techniques from his mother, LuAnn, and his grandmother, Margaret Tafoya.  He could not have found better teachers.  He has been making pottery about 20 years now and has mastered all the techniques to perfection.
