Tafoya is known for her minimally-adorned blackware and black-on-black ware, frequently marked with the imprint of a bear claw motif.[3] She has been referred to as "undoubtedly the outstanding Tewa potter of her time."[4] The Tafoya family lineage of Puebloan potters "goes as far back as records exist."[5] Tafoya's work consisted primarily of large-scale vessels that were marked with concave and convex impressions and carved designs.[6]


Personal life


Tafoya married Geronimo Tafoya with whom she had eight children.[6] Many of her children, grand-children, great-grand children and extended family became well-known potters including Margaret Tafoya, LuAnn Tafoya, Tammy Garcia, Nathan Youngblood and others.[4]


Collections


Her work is included in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago,[2] the Denver Art Museum,[7] the Mount Hoyoke College Art Museum,[8] the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art,[9] among other private and public collections.
