Darrick Tsosie

Darrick Tsosie is the son of Leonard Tsosie and Emily Fragua-Tsosie. He learned the art of making pottery the traditional way from his mother at an early age and he continues in her tradition of producing figures, storytellers and nativities. That said, it made a big difference for his business after he developed his feline and canine series of figures, storytellers and nativities.

Darrick's work is on display at the Eiteljorg Museum of the American Indian in Indianapolis and at the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC. Some of his pieces have been included in the White House Permanent Collection.

Darrick has participated in shows and exhibits at the Eiteljorg Indian Arts Market, Santa Fe Indian Market, Autry Museum Indian Marketplace, Pueblo Grande Indian Market, Red Earth Indian Festival and the Eight Northern Pueblos Arts and Crafts Show. He's taken home First, Second and Third Place ribbons from the Eiteljorg Indian Arts Market and the Santa Fe Indian Market.
