Brown, Debbie

Debbie (Garcia) Brown was born in Albuquerque, NM in December, 1962. Her mother was Sarah Garcia and her grandmother Jessie Garcia, both of Acoma Pueblo. Goldie Hayah and Donna Chino are among her siblings. Like her sisters, Debbie learned how to make pottery through watching and working with their mother and grandmother as she was growing up.

In her early 20s, Debbie started exhibiting at Santa Fe Indian Market and the Eight Northern Indian Pueblos Arts & Crafts Show and won many ribbons over the years. She was a participant at Santa Fe Indian Market from about 1980 to 2010. Her repertoire of styles and shapes includes plates, seed pots, jars, bowls and wedding vases. She works in polychrome and black-on-white.

Debbie’s favorite designs to paint are deer, parrots, bears, turtles, flowers, bees and traditional geometrics.
