Karita Coffey
Karita Coffey (born 1947) is a Comanche ceramist, noted especially for producing ceramic replicas of traditional craft objects.[1] She lived in Lawton, Oklahoma before beginning her artistic training at the Institute of American Indian Arts.[2] She received her graduate degree from the University of Oklahoma and later taught at the Institute[1] for many years before retiring to work on her sculpture.[2] Coffey's work is informed by aspects of African art and the art of the Australian Aborigines as well as by her own heritage.[3] Her work is represented in the collection of the National Museum of the American Indian.[4]
