Ron Suazo learned to make pottery from his mother, Clara Suazo.  His sister is Margaret Garcia.  He said of his work, “As a result of studying both traditional and early designs, my decision was to create my own style, yet include a combination of both, with feather designs, bear paws, and early designs with inlaid turquoise and coral stones on both completely polished black pots, and on matte finish pottery.”.  This bowl has a green polished medallion with a feather and mountain pattern. Surrounding the medallion are badger paws.  The area surrounding the polished green medallion is matte brown.  All the designs are etched into the clay.  There are inset pieces of turquoise and coral.  The piece is signed on the bottom in the clay, “Ron Suazo”.  It is in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, restoration, or repair.
