Mark Tahbo has long been inspired by the works of Grace Chapella, his great-grandmother. Grace was fond of using images of butterflies or moths on her pottery, to the point that it became her signature design. Mark followed her style for many years. Recently, however, he has become enchanted with the work of Nampeyo and has begun incorporating her style into his pottery designs, although not copying anything but using them for inspiration.
