Bernice Moquino, Santa Clara/Zia Pueblos, Coyote clan, active 1989-present: scraffito blackware and redware, seed pots wedding vases. Bernice Moquino is the daughter of Corn Moquino and Christine Moquino; wife of Martin Barela; mother Travis Martin Barela-y-Moquino; sister of James, Christopher, Mark, Marvin, Melvin, Martin, Matthew and Michael Moquino. Bernice learned her pottery skills from her father and brother Corn Moquino and James Moquino. "I enjoy creating artwork, because I watched my father Corn Moquino when I was Young. I enjoyed drawing, I started playing with clay. It became an extension of my soul. Making pottery soothes me and brings me peace. It's a part of me and when the Lord decides to tame me from this earth, a part of me will always live on in my art. My brother James Moquino taught me how to form a wedding vase. I thank my brother every time I create a wedding vase." -Bernice Moquino
