About the Author
Mallery was born and raised in Zuni, New Mexico. She received her B.S. in Biology with a minor in Art studio in the Summer of 2009. She is the mother of two, an infant girl and toddler boy. As an artist, Mallery evokes the powerful history of her people through her art. She is an artisan in many traditional and non-traditional Zuni art which include: Pottery, sash belt weaving, drawing, painting, and other forms of crafts. Mallery's style of work pays homage to her culture by portraying ancient symbols and designs throughout her work. An important goal of hers is to combine traditional and contemporary Native American art and make it work successfully as one. Her roots are traditional but with modern influences. She hones several signature styles and designs one of which is the storyteller owl pottery. In both her 3-D and 2-D works she also uses cross-hatching as a signature mark for her work. Other motifs widely seen in her products are butterflies, rosettes, and the rain bird. Mallery is currently living and working as an artist. She has been an active artist participant at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque, NM, both as an Artist Series instructor and an artist of a permanent display mural at the establishment. Other noted works is a set entitled "What Makes a Zuni?" on permanent display at the Zuni IHS in Blackrock, NM. Her oil painting depicting the ties between the Grand Canyon and Zuni culture is part of a traveling collaboration called the Zuni Map Art Project hosted by A: shiwi A: wan Museum and Heritage Center. The collaborative set of art is currently displayed at the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff. The Map Art Project was featured in a documentary done by National Geographic on an episode of Wild Chronicles. The map art is also featured in the book entitled, A: shiwi A: wan Ulohnanne - The Zuni World by Jennifer McLerran & Jim Enote. Examples of Mallery's work can be found on: www.zuniartisan.webs.com
