A member of the Tewa and a resident of the Santa Clara Pueblo in New Mexico, Paul was the owner of the Merrock Galeria, which featured the work of contemporary pueblo artists. Personal lifeBorn on February 6, 1952, Paul Joseph Speckled Rock Tafoya was the son of Paul and Tonita Tafoya.[1] Paul Tafoya, Sr., was a welder who served as the governor of Santa Clara Pueblo from 1964 to 1983.[2] Paul Speckled Rock was a brother of Kenneth and Ray Tafoya, a nephew of Angela Baca, and a grandson of Severa Tafoya,[3] all of whom were noted Santa Clara Pueblo potters. Paul graduated from Espanola High School in 1970 and legally changed his name from Tafoya to Speckled Rock at that time.[4] He then attended the National Electronics Institute, where he received an apprenticeship in architectural engineering.[5] In February 1972, Paul married Rosemary "Apple Blossom" Lonewolf,[6] a noted potter who was a daughter of Joseph Lonewolf and niece of Grace Medicine Flower.[7] Paul and Rosemary's son Adam Speckled Rock, who is an award-winning potter in his own right, was born in November 1972.[6][8] At this time, Paul decided to turn his attention to art. He also worked weekends as a tribal policeman at the Santa Clara Pueblo from 1973 to 1976 to support his family.[4] Following a divorce from Rosemary, Paul married Mercedes Rivera,[9][10] a contemporary potter who opened her own studio in 1998.[11] Paul subsequently married Rosalda Vigil, daughter of Ernesto Vigil, a municipal judge for the City of Espanola.[12] Paul Speckled Rock died in early 2017.[13] Artistic creationsPaul Speckled Rock began his award-winning artistic career in 1973 by producing a series of small paintings, usually featuring pueblo motifs.[13] His medium was typically acrylic on board. In 1977, he began making bronze sculptures, most commonly featuring Native American warriors in ceremonial dress. He also produced his signature bear fetishes. He began making pottery in 1983, having been inspired by his grandmother, Severa Tafoya.[3] Much of his pottery consists of traditional redware, but he was also known for creating pottery with unusual shapes, often decorated using the sgraffito technique.[14] A [https://www.flickr.com/photos/aliarda/8040297779 photo of Paul] at work in his studio in 2012 was posted on Flickr by one of his visitors.

Business activitiesPaul Speckled Rock was the owner of the Merrock Galeria, which was located in the Santa Clara Pueblo. The Galeria was founded in 1984 by Paul and his wife Mercedes.[15] The Galeria featured the work of various pueblo artists, not only from Santa Clara Pueblo but also from other pueblos in the American Southwest. Regarding his ownership of the Galeria, Paul remarked: "I find selling other people's work rewarding. I get to learn more about who my customers are. No two people are alike, and all have different tastes."[3] The Merrock Galeria was frequently a stop on group tours of New Mexico, and Paul enjoyed discussing the artwork and the various creative techniques involved with tour members.[10][16] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Schaaf|first=Gregory|title=Pueblo Indian Pottery: 750 Artist Biographies, c. 1800-present: with Value/price Guide Featuring over 20 Years of Auction Records|date=2000|location=Santa Fe, New Mexico|publisher=CIAC Press}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Speckled Rock, Paul}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Paul Tafoya: Obituary|url=http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/santafenewmexican/obituary.aspx?pid=136544084#sthash.VurNIwUg.dpuf|accessdate=5 June 2017}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book|last=Dillingham|first=Rick|title=Fourteen Families in Pueblo Pottery|date=1994|location=Albuquerque, New Mexico|publisher=University of New Mexico Press}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|title=Indian Chronicles Tribal Traditions on Paper, In Bronze|newspaper=El Paso Times|date=November 19, 1982|page=69}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Colorado Springs, Colo.|newspaper=The Santa Fe New Mexican|date=December 19, 1971|page=31}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|title=Lonewolf, Rosemary, 1953 -|url=http://socialarchive.iath.virginia.edu/ark:/99166/w64c1bnw|accessdate=5 June 2017}} 7. ^{{cite book|last=Maxwell Museum of Anthropology|title=Seven Families in Pueblo Pottery|year=1975|location=Albuquerque|publisher=University of New Mexico Press|page=50}} 8. ^{{cite web|title= Adam Speckled Rock (1972 - )|url=https://www.adobegallery.com/gallery/27733|accessdate=5 June 2017}} 9. ^{{cite news|title=Black Marked 40th Birthday for Pueblo Artist|newspaper=The Santa Fe New Mexican|date=March 1, 1992|page=40}} 10. ^1 {{cite news|title=Trip to New Mexico includes Indian and Spanish flavors|newspaper=New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung|date=September 2, 1992|page=13}} 11. ^{{cite news|title=The Pottery Studio|newspaper=The Santa Fe Reporter|date=September 23, 1998|page=40}} 12. ^{{cite news|title=Vigil – Ernesto|newspaper=Albuquerque Journal|date=December 18, 2011}} 13. ^1 {{cite web|title=Speckled Rock, Paul (1952 – 2017)|url=https://kinggalleries.com/brand/speckled-rock-paul-b-1952/|accessdate=7 June 2017}} 14. ^{{cite web|title=Paul Speckled Rock Tafoya Santa Clara Pueblo Pottery|url=https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/paul-speckled-rock-tafoya-santa-clara-159981619|accessdate=10 June 2017}} 15. ^{{cite web|title=Merrock Galeria|url=https://www.artunion.us/company-merrock-galeria-in-espanola-nm-60583|accessdate=6 June 2017}} 16. ^{{cite web|title=Santa Fe and Taos – Furman University|url=http://www.furman.edu/sites/OLLI/Documents/SantaFeandTaosBrochure.pdf|accessdate=7 June 2017}} 7 : 1952 births|2017 deaths|Santa Clara Pueblo people|Sculptors from New Mexico|Native American potters|Native American sculptors|Native American painters |
