Dorothy Nez:  

Here's my story in a nutshell. After SIS I went to school at IAIA very briefly, then Haskell from 70 -73. Learned art skills from Dr. Dick West (Cheyenne). 74-76 worked with ITC's Nevada History Project as a Reseacher-Writer. Lived in Owyhee on the Duck Valley Rez for a couple of years and worked at the 'Rec Hall', which was a blast. Oh, yeah met my son's dad, JC Eaglesmith who was a high school teacher (Indian History, and PE)at Wooster and several other local High Schools. After leaving Owyhee, I moved to Lawrence, Kansas for a year - going back to school at Haskell and working part time. In 1979, landed a job with Hallmark Cards Inc. as a artist. It was the best job ever. Worked for Hallmark, using the old paintbrushes and light table, then ten years later, Hallmark went Digital (MAC Computers) so all of us switched over and hardly ever picked up a paint brush again. Worked there for 28 years before retiring and moving to the Reno-Sparks Colony in Nevada. Since retirement I do alot of yardwork at the Senior Center, plue maintaining three yards, keep up with my Digital Art Work for future art showings, beadwork,and now the local Seniors want to learn Silks...Expand for more
