Lucy Lewis - Antonietta Capone

 Lucy Lewis as a famous potter from Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico who was born in 1895 and died in 1992. She had no schooling or art classes since she lived on the mesa. She learned pottery as a young child from her great aunt and other Acoma women. Lewis played a big part in reviving 11th century Mimbres - style pottery, which is characterized by black lines on white slip. Her pottery first became known outside the pueblo in 1950, when she received a blue ribbon at the Annual Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial in Gallup, New Mexico. Lewis continued to make pottery well into her 80s and her daughters and grandchildren also carried on the tradition.
