Rosita de Herrera (b. 1940) is a daughter of noted Ohkay Owingeh potter Tomasita Montoya and a sister of noted potter Dominguita Naranjo. Rosita often combines the two distinctive styles of incised and carved designs in her pottery. The two different styles were part of the innovation of her mother and 7 other potters beginning in the 1930s.
