Margarete Bagshaw (November 11, 1964 – March 19, 2015) was an American artist known for her paintings and pottery. She was decent of the Tewa people of K'apovi or the Kha'p'oo Owinge, Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico.[1]

Early life

Margret Bagshaw was born November 11, 1964 and was the daughter of artist Helen Hardin and Pat Terrazas, and the granddaughter of Santa Clara Pueblo artist Pablita Velarde.[2][3]

Bagshaw grew up in New Mexico and lived most of her life between Albuquerque and Santa Fe, however as a young child she was living with her mother for several years in Colombia and Guatemala.[4]

She married at age 19 to Greg Tindel, a master framer.[5] She did not start to create her own artwork until 1990, at the age of 26, while she was pregnant with her second child.[3][4] Early in her work as an artist, her spouse Tindel encouraged her to share her artwork with others.[4] Bagshaw started having more confidence in her work as an artist, after a series of positive responses followed.[4]

About

In 2006, after settling her grandmother's estate, she moved to the U.S. Virgin Islands, living with her second husband Dan McGuiness.[6] She was a founding partner and co-builder of ISW Studios — a recording and multimedia studio.[7] While in the Virgin Islands she continued to paint and send her work back to New Mexico.[7] The couple returned to New Mexico in 2009.[8]

In 2009 until 2012, they couple owned Golden Dawn Gallery in New Mexico.[8] In 2012, Margarete Bagshaw co-founded the Pablita Velarde Museum of Indian Women, dedicated to her grandmother's legacy as well as other female Native American artists in Santa Fe, however it closed in 2015 when Margarete passed away.[6][9]

On March 19, 2015, Margret Bagshaw died at the age of 50 after having a stroke and then subsequently diagnosed with brain cancer.[8] Her death sparked a estate battle between her surviving children and her second husband, Dan McGuiness.[8]

Bagshaw was featured in many publications including: Southwest Art magazine,[10] Native Peoples magazine,[11][12] the New Mexico Magazine and recently both the Albuquerque Journal[13] and ABQ Arts.[14] She was one of the featured artists in the 2003 book — NDN Art: Contemporary Native American Art, The New Mexico Artist Series[15] as well as the 1998 book — Pueblo Artists Portraits, by Toba Tucker.[16]
