Anita Toya is the sister of Judy Toya and daughter of the late storyteller artist Mary E. Toya. Among her other siblings are Mary Ellen and Marie R. Toya.
Anita has been making storytellers since the 1970s. Anita's storytellers tend to be more traditional, reflecting the influence of her Jemez Pueblo family. She also makes nativities (nacimientos) and other figures.
