Gachupin, and her mother, Lenora G. Fragua. She began actively making and selling work as a teenager. Her pieces are hand-coiled from local clay, shaped, painted with natural pigments, and traditionally fired outdoors (often with cedar). She specializes in melon-style pottery (with carved ribs) and frequently incorporates a corn symbol to reflect her Corn Clan affiliation.
