Georgia Patricio is a daughter of Lucy Juanico and a granddaughter of Joselita Ray. Georgia collects her clay at a nearby mesa bringing it back to her home in cloth sacks. She uses stones and wild spinach weed to create the black paint she uses on her pottery. As Georgia says "most of the designs I paint have been designs handed down from many generations but there are some I have created. All of the designs I paint have various meanings." Georgia and her husband, Leo (d.), have three children and live at Acoma Pueblo.
