Merton Sisneros is a Native American potter from Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico, United States, known for his work alongside his wife, Linda Sisneros. Both are part of a long family heritage in pottery, and together they continue these traditions, incorporating a triangle symbol on their pottery to represent three generations of potters. Their work includes hand-coiled, pit-fired pueblo pottery made from local clay, with a focus on painted black-on-black, Polychrome on red, and red-on-red styles.
