Simultaneously minimalist and detailed, this screen print, of the original painting, depicts an older Native American woman with flowing white hair. and painted white face.

This piece was completed in 1995, two years before Howell passed away; possibly one of his last works executed. Titled, signed, and dated in the lower right corner: Snow Bird Frank Howell 1995 (not a print but original acrylic on canvas) Gift inscription from the artist on verso. Presented in a wood frame with a scalloped linen liner.
