About the Artist...
Caroline Lucero-Carpio, is a Native Tiwa of Isleta Pueblo, NM. whose traditional upbringing and contemporary expression is voiced through her artwork.
“The connection with Mother Earth is a good feeling within the soul; from the gathering of the clay to the building of each coil. Clay Mother has given me the guidance to understand my inner spirituality and connection with the land, and for that I am forever grateful.”
“At times, my sculptures are a reflection of my inner prayers and other times it is the stories of our ancestors that inspire new vision. I would like my work to preserve a story and educate who we are, many generations from now.”
She received an Associates Degree from the Institute of American Indian Arts and a Bachelor in Fine Art from the University of New Mexico. She was also selected for a Southwestern Association for Indian Arts Fellowship in 2000, and did an Artist-in-Residence with an International Art and Cultural Exchange Program in Takeo, Japan in 2001.
