Felicita (or Felecita) Eustace (1927–2016), a respected Cochiti potter known primarily for her storyteller figurines. She learned pottery-making from relatives in the Herrera family tradition (including influences from her aunt and sister Seferina Ortiz) and specialized in detailed, polychrome female storytellers with numerous children. While animal figures are common in Cochiti pottery, Felicita's documented works focus more on human storytellers rather than deer-specific pieces.
