Born and raised in Ganado, Arizona, Allen would go to monthly weaving auctions with his mother, who was an accomplished weaver and silversmith. Surrounded by art he became fascinated with the pottery that the Acoma women were bringing into sell. His passion turned into miniature pots and silversmithing. He creates miniature pots in the traditional ways but soon developed his own style, combining ideals from Navajo, Hopi, and Acoma art. His innovative ideas and passions led him to the union of pottery and jewelry creating a whole new genre of works.
