Margaret Gutierrez is the daughter of the prominent Santa Clara Pueblo potters Lela and Van Gutierrez. Trained by her parents in their innovative techniques, Margaret continued working in that style. The polychrome vessel Jar exhibits the earth tones and curvilinear designs they specialized in. However, Margaret emphasized the creative development of traditional designs, along with elements of humor. For example, Turtle is a form not often explored by her parents. Her work, combining whimsy with elegance, frequently included animals. She was well known for incorporating traditional images of Puebloan deities, particularly Avanyu, the Tewa guardian of water, often depicted as a water serpent.
