Juana Leno was one of the most accomplished potters at Acoma Pueblo in the 20th century.  For the most part, she was unequalled.  Her work was flawless.  Of all the potters from Acoma whom I personally knew, she was my favorite.  She quietly worked every day producing extraordinary pottery without seeking acclaim. She was a wonderful woman and very modest about her talent to produce such fine pieces. She may not have achieved the fame she was due, but it was not because of the lack of quality in her work, but because she chose to remain quietly at home and not seek fame.
