She and her friends, Lucy M. Lewis and Marie Z. Chino, revitalized the Acoma pottery world through resurrecting ancient Mimbres styles and designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eJessie made traditional polychrome and Anasazi-Revival black-on-white jars, bowls, vases, wedding vases, turtles, turkeys, owls, storytellers and other figures.
