Reynaldo Quezada struck me as a quiet artist.  I wasn't able to get him to proliferate much regarding his art, but fortunately he was very comfortable demonstrating the firing of his beautiful pottery.

Reynaldo is regarded as "one of the best natural artists of the early group" (Spencer MacCallum), and "his best work was on par with that of Juan, Nicolas, or Lydia" (Walter Parks in The Miracle of Mata Ortiz, page 137).  His work has been shown in many prestigious exhibitions.

In the following video we see examples of his glistening textured finishes, which he says he has been creating for approximately the last 22 years.  He also demonstrates the outdoor firing of his pottery.

Here is Reynaldo Quezada:
