Stephanie Naranjo (born 1960), from a prominent pottery family (daughter of Pauline Gutierrez and Frank Naranjo, granddaughter of Luther Gutierrez and Lupita Naranjo). She specializes in handmade figurative pottery, including animal forms and playful scenes.

One of her notable works is a turtle figurine featuring two koshare (clown) children playing on a large turtle, incorporating rock art and geometric designs—evoking a storytelling or whimsical narrative theme common in Pueblo art.
