Anna specializes in crafting stone-polished redware pottery, including carved bowls, jars, and plates, which often feature designs such as bear claws, feathers, lightning, and the avanyu (the mythical Tewa Water Serpent). She sources her clay from the Santa Clara Pueblo area and uses only natural slips, along with the traditional polishing stones passed down from her mother.

The Pueblo is on the Rio Grande, between Ohkay Owingeh (formerly San Juan Pueblo) to the north and San Ildefonso Pueblo to the south. Santa Clara Pottery and its Pueblo are famous for producing hand-crafted pottery, specifically blackware and redware with deep engravings.
