Arizona's Pioneering Women Artists:  Impressions of the Grand Canyon State

Worked as one of the photographers on the Directory & Catalog written by Dr. Betsy Fahlman and Lonnie Pierson Dunbier in collaboration with the Arizona Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts and the Museum of Northern Arizona. My personal involvement is noted in the Acknowledgements section of the catalog and included photographing a private collection of these 450 significant women artists owned by Ed & Fran Elliott of Sedona, Arizona.  The MNA exhibition was only one of several in major museums in Arizona and still may travel beyond the State of Arizona.  This exhibition was awarded an Arizona Centennial Legacy designation from the State of Arizona.
