Linda Lucero Fragua was born to Joe and Rebecca Fragua at Jemez Pueblo in November of 1954. Linda grew up learning to make pottery the Jemez traditional way alongside her mother. She made pottery for more than 40 years and passed what she learned on to her daughter, Chrislyn.

Linda participated in shows at The Fort in Morrison, Colorado, the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Santa Fe Indian Market, Tucson Art Museum and the Eight Northern Pueblos Arts and Crafts Show. She earned ribbons for First and Second Place plus Honorable Mention from the Santa Fe Indian Market, Second and Third Place ribbons from Eight Northern Pueblos and First Place ribbons from The Fort.

Linda told us she got her inspiration from her mother and her favorite shapes to make were storyteller figures. Her favorite design was the step design and she used it everywhere the clay told her to. She also like to talk to the clay when she was making a storyteller so she'd get it just right.
