Her work is exhibited extensively in the US and in Canada and has won prestigious awards in major competitions including Santa Fe Indian Market (NM), Red Earth (OK), Kituwah (NC), 34th Annual Trail of Tears Art Show (OK), Lawrence Indian Art Show (KS), Red Cloud Indian Art Show (SD) and Cherokee Heritage Show (NC) to name a few.

About The Hand-Tinting Process
I have represented the Marshall Photo Oil company since 1986 teaching workshops that feature the instruction of their transparent photo oils. This pigment is applied directly to the surface of the black and white photo with cotton balls and Q-Tips; I also embellish some of my photographs the acrylic, tempera and gouache pain, pastels, colored pencil and metallic powder.

Most of the images on this website are available as GICLEES, a very high-quality, computer-generated reproduction. They can be ordered in any size up to 44" wide on Arches or Kilimanjaro watercolor paper or Fredericks cotton duck canvas. The archival pigment inks should exceed 100 years in normal indoor use; these acid-free papers and canvas both have a shelf life expectancy of 150 years.

An estimated price for an 8"x10", on raw canvas, unstretched is $200 (plus shipping&handling); 20"x24", on raw canvas, unstretched is $700 (plus shipping&handling).
