Dolores lives and works in northern New Mexico enjoying the beauty of the region.  She is a trained watercolorist and began her part time art career over 35 years ago.  Over 2 decades ago, Dolores discovered ‘Ledger Art’ while researching a member of her same tribe of the Caddo Nation and that began a love affair using the same mediums of antique paper and colored pencils.  She researched and found mentors who helped her understand the significance of historical ledger art to the native people of the plains.  In 2001, retiring from the private sector, she tried her hand from a contemporary female ledger artist perspective with her influences of pop-art, art deco and Asian textiles and has won many awards for her work.

Dolores’s art can be found in many private and public collections, numerous publications, and several books. She is often asked by institutions and universities to present the history of ledger art.  My mantra: “Happy Art Makes a Happy Home”
