Featured Artist
Marvin Blackmore
Marvin Blackmore was born in Farmington, New Mexico. Marvin’s humble beginnings as the sixth child in a family of fourteen helped to shape his exceptional talent and drive. Marvin had to learn to amuse himself; his parents certainly did not have the time to dote exclusively over him. His favorite childhood pastime was art. It soon became clear that Marvin was bestowed with tremendous artistic talent. Growing up in Cortez, Colorado, a hub of Native American art and craft, he was surrounded by pottery makers from several American Indian tribes. Marvin drew from each of the tribal styles as he began to dabble in pottery making. By 1989, pottery was Marvin’s medium of choice and also his only form of income. He was initially drawn to the pueblo-style carved pottery with gloss and matte black finishes, famously known in the Southwest as “Black-on-Black” pottery.
