Angelica Morales

"); document.write("

Angelica Morales creates decorated pots with folkloric scenes and images of Purepecha women from her native Tzintzuntzan, Michoacan, Mexico. Sirenas (mermaids), rituals and festivals are favorite subjects for Morales, who learned her art as a child and has developed a distinctive painterly style. She uses the blanco y negro style that requires treating fired pots with engobes, special thin-clay solutions that prepare the pot for an additional step. It can take up to four days to apply engobes to one pot. She is working with her husband, Roberto, to build her own lead-free kiln.
