Lot description

Nancy McLaughlin "Root Digger" Oil on Board. Born in Kalispell, Montana, Nancy McLaughlin became noted for her depictions of Indian faces from babies to men and in her later years, the portrayal of Indian legends. Her passion in her later years was portraying Indian legends. She worked mostly with pencil and pastels in the early days but moved on to watercolor, oil, and sculpture. During her career, McLaughlin lived in Washington, Arizona, and Texas. She made friendships on the Reservation that lasted until her death in1985. An effort to provide an honest portrayal of what she saw around her inspired her to work with clay, paint brushes, or a pastel stick to record these memories. Holy Medicine people of the Blackfeet Nation spoke to her as a daughter and adopted her into their world.
