[2][3] Navasie carries on the white ware pottery tradition from her mother, which she contends was developed around 1951 or 1952.

She is particularly known for her black and red on white designs, and her favorite motifs include rain, clouds, parrots, and feathers.

[2] All Navasie's pottery is made the traditional way, from the gathering of the clay to the polishing and painting.

Pots are fired in sheep dung, which she says is getting more difficult to acquire, but she prefers this over commercial products.

[2] She was, alongside Terrista Naranjo and others, honored by the Nixons at a special White House reception for leading Native American artists.
