Felipita Aguilar Garcia was the inspiration behind a quiet revolution in pottery designs at Santo Domingo (now Kewa) Pueblo between 1905 and 1914. She, and her sister, Asunción Aguilar Caté, developed a new style of pottery design. Felipita favored the strong black with thin cream lines and Asunción favored the black and red with thin cream lines.

Several potters have occasionally designed jars similar to Felipita's. Monica Silva and Robert Tenorio of Kewa Pueblo and Lisa Holt of Cochiti with Harlan Reano of Kewa have produced similar pieces.
