Sandra
states in her biography: "The way I learned was
watching my grandmother (Lita L. Garcia) making her pottery.
So I thought I would try. Pottery making was handed down
from generation to generation. When I work with my pottery
clay, it is something special to me. I can create new
shapes of pottery and I imagine what designs I will use.
It  brings
great pride to me and my family to see my artwork in galleries
and in people's homes." "Southern
Pueblo Pottery: 2000 Artist Biographies" by Gregory
