Juanita would often model for the Toas Society of artists that resided in Taos and Santa Fe during this era. Juanita shortly after meeting Catharine begin her career in painting also. Probably influences by the many artists she had meet and her friendship with Catharine. Juanita Lucero is one of a few Taos Pueblo women artist and was certainly one of the first to pursue painting. Her work is very rare.
