- MARGARETE BAGSHAW -

Tewa/Santa Clara Pueblo, 1964-2015

Margarete Bagshaw was born November 11, 1964 and was the daughter of artist Helen Hardin and Pat Terrazas, and the granddaughter of Santa Clara Pueblo artist Pablita Velarde.

Bagshaw grew up in New Mexico and lived most of her life between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, however as a young child she was living with her mother for several years in Colombia and Guatemala.

She married at age 19 to Greg Tindel, a master framer. She did not start to create her own artwork until 1990, at the age of 26, while she was pregnant with her second child. Early in her work as an artist, her spouse Tindel encouraged her to share her artwork with others. Bagshaw started having more confidence in her work as an artist, after a series of positive responses followed.
