The daughter of Little Harvey and Jessie (White) Harvey, Anita was born on March 10, 1959 in Sweetwater, Ariz. Anita was a well known and respected weaver throughout the world. Her rug work had been featured in the Cortez Journal, the Arizona Highway Magazine and Native People’s Magazine, as well as various other publications.

Anita won numerous awards for her beautiful work, including 2 Best of Show Awards at the Annual Santa Fe Indian Market for her Sandpainting Weavings, an impressive feat considering the fact she is believed to be only the second weaver to receive the award in Indian market’s 83-year history.

Her Sandpainting Weavings would take approximately 2 years to weave.
