Alma Loretto Concha (Maesta) \"Painted Parrot\" (born 1941) is a member of the Water Clan. She is one of six Loretto sisters originally from Jemez Pueblo. Her sisters are Mary Toya, Fannie Loretto, Lupe Lucero, Edna Coriz and Dorothy Trujillo. She began learning the techniques of making pottery as a child and has continued during her adult life. Her first storyteller was made in 1969 after she married and moved to Taos Pueblo. In 1979, she was a part of the landmark Albuquerque Museum exhibit \"One Space: Three Visions.\" Three years later, she was included in an article in National Geographic Magazine.

I have several very nice pieces of Native American pottery listed.
