Bold Women

Based in Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico, Rose B. Simpson is a Native artist who works in ceramics, custom cars, metalwork, performance, installation, and writing. These two prints feature her integration of black-on-black Pueblo pottery traditions and deeply honor the work of Pueblo matriarch Maria Martinez, whose black-on-black jar is displayed nearby and for whom the car prints are named. The prints portray a 1985 Chevy El Camino that Simpson restored herself, in the style of Martinez’s ceramics.
