Fragua (October 10, 1962 - January 27, 2022) The daughter of Manuel and Juanita Fragua, Betty Jean Fragua was born into the Jemez Pueblo Corn Clan in October 1962. Her mother, Juanita, taught her, her sister Glendora and their brother Clifford the traditional methods of making Jemez pottery as they were all growing up. All three excelled at the art and all became award-earning potters. Betty Jean's style is very similar to her mother's but with a more contemporary feel to it.  She created many carved and lidded jars decorated with painted lizards, flowers, corn plants, feathers and geometrics. She usually signed her pieces with: B.J. Fragua Jemez Pueblo New Mexico. DETAILS:Artist: B.J.
