Jason Garcia is known for his creative clay tiles that incorporate scenes from Santa Clara Pueblo and the Pueblo world.  Years ago, Jason began his career making tiles based on various Saints.  This tile depicts St. Claire, the patron saint of Santa Clara Pueblo. St. Claire is portrayed here with the pueblo in the background.  There is the kiva along with TV antenna and a satellite, as she is also the patron saint of televisions.  She is holding a monstrance with a Tewa sun in the center.  As she is also the patron Saint of the Blind, she is holding a book.  Note as well in the sky that there is a polychrome raincloud.  This is a signature on much of Jason’s work.   The tile is made from native clay.  All of the colors are derived from Native clay, which is traditionally fired. It is signed on the back “Okuu Pin” which is Jason’s name in Tewa (which means Turtle Mountain).
