Early in his life he was a noted painter but before long, he switched to making pottery. Cavan's pottery is in collections at the New Mexico State Capitol in Santa Fe, the Heard Museum in Phoenix and at the Kennedy Center and the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. At San Ildefonso he is credited with being a leader in the revival of San Ildefonso polychromes.''
