Keener developed a regionalist style with impressionist influence with apparent guidance of her teacher with whom she credits as her finest teacher. During World War II Anna worked as a clerk for the Navy in Detroit whilst attending evening classes at the Detroit School of Design. Once the war ended she taught in Arizona and Kansas. During this time she continued her art education attending night classes at the Kansas City Art Institute.
