NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN
COLLECTION



My studies led me to a deep appreciation of Edward Curtis' Native American photographs of the late 1800's. I subsequently focused my portrait work on the Native American People, participating in numerous juried exhibitions in the Midwest during the late 1970's and 1980's. Because of the deep respect I developed through my work with the Native American People, I was the only non-Native American artist invited to participate at a Pow-Wow at Fort Wayne in Detroit.

MOSA MOHAVE

​ Each family unit of the Mohave Indian tribe had a unique design, significant to the family name. However, much of Indian tradition and natural history was lost as families were removed from their land and made to live on reservations. What makes this picture unique is that when the photograph that I worked off of was taken, this native girl was still wearing her face paint with her family design.
