In the 1920s he was painting in the San Ildefonso Pueblo alongside many of the other early San Ildefonso school artists. In the early 1930s, Pena studied with painting with Dorothy Dunn at "The Studio" of the Santa Fe Indian School.
    His artwork was exhibited widely including at the Riverside Museum (1969) in New York City; Renaissance Society (1958) in Chicago; Santa Fe Indian Market (1959, winning first place for painting at the Fiesta Indian Market), and many others.
