Frederica Antonio

Frederica Antonio is a renowned Native American artist born in 1968 in the Acoma Pueblo. Her journey into the world of Native American pottery began at a young age, and it was deeply influenced by her cultural heritage and family traditions.

Growing up in the rich cultural environment of the Acoma Pueblo, Frederica was surrounded by the artistry and craftsmanship of her community. Her passion for pottery was ignited and nurtured by her mother-in-law, Mildred Antonio, a skilled potter who taught Frederica the fundamental techniques of hand-coiling and painting pottery. Under Mildred's guidance, Frederica began her artistic journey at the age of 18, developing a unique style that combines traditional methods with contemporary designs.

Her works have been showcased in prestigious events such as the Santa Fe Indian Market, where she has received numerous accolades for her intricate and beautifully crafted pieces.
