Magdalena Suarez Frimkess and Michael Frimkess began working together shortly after they met in 1963. Working in different corners of the studio, Michael throws traditional pottery while Magdalena paints the surfaces of the pots with her elaborate glazed compositions. Magdalena's earliest pots utilized Aztec motifs and Native American imagery, and in the late 1970s, began to adorn the pots with cartoon characters, advertising slogans, and family snapshots. She improvises with whatever images strike her, intuitively jostling imagery to accommodate the contours around the pots thrown by her husband.
