She learned the intricate art of traditional pottery making from her prominent siblings, Anderson Peynetsa and Priscilla Peynetsa, as well as from legendary art instructor Jennie Laate. Agnes frequently utilizes a refined, smooth white clay base for her pieces, which are individually hand-painted and signed directly by her on the bottom.
