stormdogWow; I'd really like a print of this! This is the kind of art that inspires and drives my own art.

This is a piece of art by a female artist who was part of the first art movement native to the United States. Why don't we hear more about women like this in art? Even in my art history class that made sure to talk about important and influential women in artistic history, we didn't mention Elsie Driggs. You can't cover everyone of course; it was a short introductory class. But far too many female artists are overlooked.
Let's hear it for Elsie Driggs!
