Vera Chino

Vera Chino Ely (born June 27, 1943) is a Native American potter from Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico. She is the youngest daughter of Marie Z. Chino, who was also a potter. Vera learned from her mother.

In the late 1970s she worked with her mother doing fine-line painting on some of her pots. In 1979, she participated in the “One Space: Three Visions” exhibition at the Albuquerque Museum. A collection of her works can be seen at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Vera’s sisters, Carrie Charlie (b. 1925), Rose Garcia (b. 1928), and Grace Chino (ca 1929-1994), are all award-winning Acoma potters.

gollark: That... is basically what verbose means?
gollark: This is verbose and loses information, yes.
gollark: I'm not saying C programs will immediately explode and segfault and erase all your data if a file doesn't exist or something. I'm saying that manually propagating error codes, which seems to be the general approach to error handling (outside of just immediately `exit`ing or `longjmp`y things), is verbose and bad.
gollark: What?
gollark: The rust docs probably have something.
