recognized for her work in oil and acrylic, creating corporate

hunting ranches and private homes. Her
paintings of Native Americans and the
market vendors and
children of Mexico and Guatemala are sought
by collectors through her gallery representatives in Texas and
Wyoming. Among
her notable works are portraits of Pope John Paul 111 to commemorate
his 1987 visit to
San Antonio, businessmen Ross Perot, William
Sessions, Red McCombs, Texas rancher

As
an illustrator of children’s books, she has produced cover
art and interior drawings for Mc Graw
Hill/ MacMillan
Publishers, Ateneum Books, Baker
Book House, and Grandview Press.. She
has self-published her own storybook
for children, “Dear
Mount Washington” and illustrated books
for other self-published authors, most recently
“Mountain
High Desserts’’ for author, Peg Puche from Jackson
Hole, Wyoming. Her career in illustration began at
the request
of children’s book author, Ken Thomasma during the years
that she and her husband were living in
Jackson Hole, to illustrate
his first book, a historical novel for children, “Naya-Nuki,
Girl Who Ran”, followed by his
second book, “Soun Tetoken,
Nez Perce Boy”. Her research
for the Indian novels led to her interest in the life of
Sacagawea,
scout and interpretor for Lewis and Clark during their historic
expedition across the U.S. West to the
Pacific in 1803-06. Currently,
her portraits of Sacagawea and her baby, ‘Pomp’, taken
from events surrounding her
during the journey, are being marketed
at Interpretive Centers along the Lewis and Clark Trail in large
format Giclee
print and notecards. Her
first image, “Sacagawea and Pomp: Journey’s
Pause Beside the Yellowstone”, is featured
as the cover art
for the PBS documentary, “The
Journey of Sacagawea”., filmed by Idanha Film Co., Idaho.
