Large pencil drawing. 20" by 28". Allard Auction Collection Inv: AX Diane O'Leary (1935 - 2013) was active/lived in New Mexico. Diane OLeary is known for Stylized Indian domestic genre paintings, textiles, fiber art. A member of the Comanche Indian tribe, Diane O'Leary became a painter of subjects reflecting her Native American culture, especially the life of women. She is also a printmaker and fiber artist. She attended school in Fort Worth, Texas, and then went to schools at Texas Christian University and Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma where her family was located. She was much influenced by Dick West, director of the college art department, and by Acee Blue Eagle, a Pawnee/Creek Indian painter whom she met while working as a program director at the local television station. After Bacone College, O'Leary moved to California where she attended Stanford University, focusing on physics and Native American Studies. An advisor told her that women were unlikely to have a career in physics, so O'Leary audited classes in physics and took an M.A. Degree in southwest archaeology. She took another M.A. Degree from Harvard University.
