Sharon Sarracino was born in the early 1950’s.

Sharon specializes in hand coiling the contemporary designed handmade Jemez pottery and gathers her materials from the grounds within the Jemez Pueblo.

She has developed her own style of art and hand coils many shapes and sizes.

Sharon signs her art as: S.Sarracino, Jemez
