Anna Sheffield is a world-renowned who creates jewelry that is elegant, irreverent, and truly original. Anna’s earliest memories are of life in Northern New Mexico, among the splendid high desert environs and the Native American cultures of the Four Corners area. Anna’s childhood in the Southwest has had an enduring influence on her work, setting the stage for a lifelong interest in natural beauty, spirituality, and all forms of art and design—from architecture to Indigenous crafts. These diverse interests led her to pursue a degree in sculpture. After moving to New York City, Anna shifted her attention to jewelry, drawing upon her Fine Art fundamentals to create her singular style.

New Mexico Community Foundation is honored to have The Sheffield Future Heritage Fund, a partnership that aims to preserve and protect the cultural heritage and landscape of the Southwest.

YAKANAL is a organization based in the Pueblo of Laguna, New Mexico, which is dedicated to strengthening food systems, cultural knowledge, and leadership through land-based practices. Founded in 2011 and fiscally sponsored by the New Mexico Community Foundation, YAKANAL endeavors to strengthen cultural and leadership through intergenerational mentoring while supporting the broader community’s reconnection to traditional foodways grounded in balance, respect, and stewardship of land and water. Its name combines the word for “corn” in the Western Keres and Yucatec Mayan languages, affirming YAKANAL’s kinship to the land and ancestral to food.
