“I am an Air Force brat, born at Langley AFB in Virginia and lived in many places. Our stays in the Western US were the best. Now I live and work in northern New Mexico enjoying the beauty of the region. I am a trained watercolorist and have been in the art field for over 35 years. Over 2 decades ago, I discovered ‘Ledger Art’ while researching a member of my tribe (Caddo Nation), and began a love affair using the same mediums of antique paper and colored pencils and stored away my brushes. I spent many hours and traveled many miles to research this old art form. I found wonderful mentors who helped me to understand the significance of historical ledger art as a story telling and pictographic language. In 2001 I tried my hand at it. My influences of pop-art, art deco and Asian textiles combined with a touch of whimsical humor, has led me down a path of contemporary feminine style of ledger art.” Dolores has her work in many galleries, private and public collections, numerous publications, and books. She is often asked by institutions and universities to present the history of ledger art.
